At the joint stand (image) of the German packaging cluster Packaging Valley, which almost fills the entire Hall 2, twelve member companies will present their highlights. These
include robotic handling, customized feeding machines and complete lines for efficient packaging, together with respective engineering and documentation. One of these companies is R. Weiss. Their modular Unirob toploading system is a popular platform, for example in the packaging of sensitive confectionery and bakery products such as chocolate bars, pralines, cakes, biscuits and cookies, fruit gums and sweets. The intermixing system with integrated Intelligent Shuttle System provides an efficient extension for quick handling of individual parts.

The central topics of this year’s FachPack such as environmentally-friendly packaging and resource conservation in the packaging industry are also a priority for companies in Packaging Valley. The focus is on digitization and sustainability. At Optima, together with presentation of the new platform TCAM that bundles all the company’s Smart Services, daily round-table discussions with experts on the subject of sustainability will be hosted.

Not only the durability of the products has a role to play, but it begins with resource-saving production. For example, Wipotec-OCS sets a focus on responsible handling of energy, and its production plants are designed accordingly. They demonstrate their customary Made-in- Germany quality in the fields of weighing systems and inspection solutions.

Ishida traditionally sets standards in weighing technology and quality control. Amongst other products shown are multi-head weighers that combine high speed with impressive precision, as well as inspection systems for detecting foreign bodies.
