interpack: Hastamat shows innovative systems for various packaging steps
Hastamat will be providing a number of insights into the company's range of packaging solutions. Alongside a joint packaging line with LoeschPack, the specialist from Hesse will be presenting innovative machines and systems for feeding, weighing and packaging high-quality products. "Hastamat stands for individual packaging systems which are continuously growing with the demands of the international customers. With creativity, innovation and decades of experience, the manufacturer not only develops individual systems but also complete lines and customer productions", says Olaf Piepenbrock, Executive Partner of LoeschPack, Hastamat and parent company Piepenbrock.
Versatility meets tubular bag performance
With the RM-270, Hastamat will be introducing a vertical form, fill and seal machine - convincing allrounder - to the specialist audience. At interpack, the machine will be demonstrating the packaging process with a flat bag with integrated zip lock. The RM-270 packages fresh and frozen food and stick-shaped products, snacks and crackers, cookies and sweets. In the high-speed range, it forms, fills and seals up to 250 bags per minute. In the process, the machine processes different bag shapes, including those with recyclable wrapping materials. Combining this machine with different add-on aggregates also makes it a flexible partner in production. The format can be removed and reset easily. "Thanks to its modular stainless steel design, the machine meets the high demands of the food industry. The special hygienic design reduces retooling and cleaning times, and thus increases the availability of the machine", explains Thoman Bornemann, Director of Sales and Marketing at Hastamat.
High-speed technology for sticks and snacks
The RM-120-HS is a space-saving packaging machine for sticks and snacks. With its innovative technology, it is engineered for speed and continuous production. The servomotor-driven transfer system makes sure that a large number of products are packaged with a high overall output. The machine processes up to 170 bags of aligned sticks in an upright position and up to 250 bags of bulk goods per minute. When a film roll has been used up, the integrated auto-splicing system performs an automatic roll change. "We ensure a continuous packaging process with sophisticated technical details", Bornemann underlines. Machine operators can adjust the format flexibly and in a straightforward manner. A self-diagnosis tool with OPC-UA connection provides support for maintenance. At interpack, Hastamat will be showing the benefits of this machine combined with the stick version of the CP-16-S multi-head weigher.

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.
