As a supplier of highly automated, seamlessly integrated packaging systems, Syntegon will be presenting a new handling solution for packaging biscuits. At the centre of the trade fair presentation: The new Syntegon FGCT counting inserter for biscuits celebrates its European premiere.

By Halle 9, Stand A30

The innovative handling solution, which will be presented to the European market for the first time at iba, gently groups sandwich biscuits in the desired quantity and places the products upright in trays or directly into the infeed of a flow-wrapping machine. Gentle handling guarantees an efficient packaging process and ensures that product damage is avoided. Evenly aligned in the tray or tubular bag, the biscuits impress with their quality and optimum presentation when the pack is opened. Daniel Bossel, Product Manager, explains: "The new counter feeder expands our broad portfolio of handling options and complements Syntegon's system solutions. We address key challenges faced by our customers with highly flexible packaging systems that are customised to their products. The bakery industry is facing complex tasks today: A shortage of skilled labour and increasing cost pressure require highly automated solutions that are not only efficient and flexible, but also avoid product waste as far as possible. At the same time, the variety of products is growing from classic baked goods to health conscious variants. These products require particularly gentle processing."

From individual packaging machines to fully integrated, fully automated systems, the portfolio covers all industry requirements.
