True to this year’s motto “Transition in Packaging”, Syntegon will present process and packaging solutions centered around the future topics of sustainability and automation. An integrated system solution for packaging pistachios will be the highlight at the booth. Torsten Sauer, Project Manager Sustainability at Syntegon, explains: “We want to support food companies in making their production fit for the future. The integration of flexible, automated systems and sustainable technologies contributes significantly to this goal. This allows manufacturers to react even faster to future trends.”

The focus at FachPack will be on the European premiere of the RPP robotic pick-and-place platform: The modular platform complements packaging lines by taking over product handling and/or feeding. The robotic solution will be on display at the booth as part of a turnkey system in combination with the SVE 2520 DZ vertical bagger and the Kliklok ACE carton erector.

On site, the SVE 2520 DZ vertical form, fill and seal machine weighs pistachios before packing them into doy bags. The highly flexible machine also processes all other common bag formats. The RPP pick-and-place platform picks up the doy bags which are transported flat, positions them correctly and places five at a time upright in cardboard trays that have been preformed on the Kliklok ACE. The ACE covers both glue closure and glueless lock-style closures, providing sustainable options for different carton formats. The individual components of the exhibited line can be configured flexibly, giving manufacturers many options to respond to changing market trends with a wide range of packaging styles, formats and materials.
