The new system is set to revolutionize factory-led [package wrapping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-packaging-solution) by offering a much more [sustainable alternative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elopak-paperboard) to commonly used machines. Instead of using gas-powered engines for pressing, gusseting, and cutting, the Delta WW OF-HSX uses electric motors. Because of this, the machine has eliminated the amount of energy needed for air usage by 95%. “From conversations with our customers, it is clear that rising costs are their number one concern. All manufacturing sectors are facing crippling input costs and pressure to reduce their [environmental footprint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sdpack-carbonlite). Our new all-electric flow wrapper responds directly to both of these challenges," said Tony McDonald, sales and marketing director at ILAPAK UK.
