LoeschPack and Hastamat to showcase their packaging solutions at PACK EXPO
With the LTM-DUO combination line, LoeschPack will present its versatile solution for packaging chocolate bars to trade visitors at PACK EXPO. “LoeschPack and Hastamat’s innovative systems take into account all packaging steps for a wide range of food and non-food products, encompassing everything from feeding to final packaging. In addition to individual machines, our portfolio also includes complete packaging lines,” says Olaf Piepenbrock, Managing Partner of LoeschPack, Hastamat, and the parent company Piepenbrock. Combination line integrates both fold wrapping and cartoning LoeschPack’s combination line provides optimal packaging solutions for machines and features a high degree of automation, minimal staffing requirements, and a small footprint. The flexible fold wrapping machine LTM-DUO packs more than 200 bars of chocolate per minute in a tightly sealed primary wrap. The outer wrap can be executed as a paper envelope from the stack or reel and as a cardboard envelope. The machine is joined by the CMW cartoning module, which fills 30 display cartons per minute. An integrated buffer is utilized between primary packaging and cartoning to minimize product waste during periods of downtime. Only one hot glue device and a controller with the new HMI operated by an operator are required for the entire line. Thanks to its compact design, the combination line occupies much less space than similar layouts. It also can serve as a cost-effective alternative to a configuration with two stand-alone machines.

About Us
International confectionery association SWEETS GLOBAL NETWORK e. V. (SG) is an established network of over 300 member companies based in ten countries. SG is the leading communication platform for confectionery professionals in German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and beyond. Meanwhile, most companies involved in manufacturing and retailing confectionery (wholesalers, specialist retailers, importers, brokers, producers) are members. All enjoy huge benefits, such as a range of high quality services and invitations to exclusive, member only events. There are an additional 40 supporting members active in the confectionery industry supply sector.
The International Sweets Business Forum in Berlin has taken SG well beyond the traditional territory of conventional training seminars and workshops. Social events, such as the New Year Reception in Munich or the ISM WARM UP held on the eve of the ISM in Cologne now rank as must-attend fixtures in the confectionery business year.
While acknowledging the growing significance of the global information and knowledge community, SG never loses sight of what’s going on at a local level. Articles in SG-Magazin and sweets processing, the SG-Newsletter (several times a week), annual publication of the SG-Directory and worldwide contacts bear witness to the pronounced internationality of the association.
