Compact packaging: Schubert showcases space-saving technology
The exceptionally agile tog.519 cobot, which will be picking biscuits at remarkable speed at a partner company’s stand, will also be on display at the trade fair.
With its lightline series, Schubert is targeting manufacturers who have standardised packaging tasks and need to be ready for production quickly. The lightline range includes cartoners, case packers, picker lines and flow-wrapping machines – all made from preconfigured modules. They enable quick planning and assembly times at extremely attractive investment costs.
Packing bars in the smallest of spaces The lightline cartoner exhibited at FACHPACK – to be seen as a bar packer at the stand – goes a long way towards achieving the targeted efficiency: thanks to a single-lane A3 erector with a vertical magazine, the machine saves a significant amount of space without ever compromising on performance. Up to 4,000 blanks fit into the cartoner’s recently developed vertical magazine, enabling the system to run continuously for 60 minutes. Schubert will also be presenting the single-lane A3 erector for the first time as a stand-alone machine unit in the form of the tog.101: “The 100% standardised tog.101 box erector guarantees high performance of up to 60 boxes per minute in a wide range of packaging lines,” says Ralf Schubert, explaining the stand-alone approach.
The tog.101 stands out not only due to its compact design and high performance, but also thanks to its ease of operation. Setting up box formats takes just a few minutes and is done simply by entering parameters such as box dimensions and glue points. A glue applicator developed with Robatech also enables glue-saving erection: the tog.101 control system adjusts the erector speed and the amount of glue applied so that just enough glue is applied to securely bond the box. This approach requires less hot melt adhesive than is customary in the industry.

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.
