interpack: Theegarten-Pactec expands its flow-wrapping expertise with the FPC6
With its new FPC6, Theegarten-Pactec is launching an innovative flow-wrapping machine specifically designed to meet the requirements of manufacturers of chocolate, confectionery, cereal and protein bars, functional foods and snacks, as well as co-packers and contract packers. The new development combines outstanding flexibility with advanced user-friendliness, digital networking and maximum process reliability. As a system solution, the FPC6 enables a fully automated packaging process. With the FPC6, Theegarten-Pactec is specifically strengthening its expertise in flow-wrap packaging and presenting this innovative system solution for efficient packaging processes – from unpackaged products to secondary packaging in cartons – at this year’s interpack.
The entirely new generation of machines doesn’t focus on the principle of ‘faster, higher, further’, but rather on stable, reliable and sustainable efficiency throughout the entire life cycle. With the new machine, the company is also implementing an automated system from a single source, which transfers the flow packs directly to the BLM high-performance cartoner developed in-house. The FPC6 reliably packs chocolate, confectionery, cereal and protein bars, functional foods and snacks into flow packs. It processes a wide variety of product formats without major retooling and masters several sealing types – cold sealing, heat sealing and cut-seam welding for water-soluble films. An integrated preheating section also enables the reliable processing of sensitive materials such as paper or recyclable mono films, even in high-performance operation. The FPC6 thereby offers maximum flexibility combined with consistently high packaging quality – a decisive advantage for manufacturers who are increasingly working with changing packaging materials and sustainable material solutions.

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.
