Syntegon will present process and packaging solutions centered around the future topics of sustainability and automation at Fachpack from 27 to 29 September. An integrated system solution for packaging pistachios will be the highlight at Stand 1-204. An Elematic 2001 wraparound case packer will be also on display.

“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,” explains Torsten Sauer, project manager, sustainability at Syntegon.

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.

Syntegon also demonstrates its system competence with the Elematic 2001 wraparound case packer on display, that is now also available with a Beckhoff control system in Europe. As the solution can be seamlessly integrated into vertical and horizontal systems, manufacturers can add a Syntegon case packer to their packaging lines, thus increasing the level of automation in their production.

By the end of 2022, all Syntegon machines for food packaging will be able to process sustainable materials. “We’re already thinking about tomorrow: our Kliklok ACE carton erector, for example, creates paper trays for cookies, offering an attractive alternative to conventional plastic trays. And also the exhibited SVE processes not only plastic, but paper-based materials into pillow bags for frozen foods, as well as stand-up bags or doy bags for dry foods,” Sauer explains.
