Syntegon will highlight its latest innovations and comprehensive system solutions at PACK EXPO International, to be held from 3-6 Nov 2024. Visitors to Syntegon’s booth can experience the automated systems for cookies, as well as fresh, chilled, and frozen food, along with the debut of the SVX Compact, part of Syntegon’s VFFS SVX series, for snacks.
“Syntegon is a one-stop supplier for seamless solutions with high levels of automation and efficiency,” said Brad Baker, senior sales director North America at Syntegon. “Whether food manufacturers are looking for stand-alone primary, secondary or case packing equipment — or fully integrated turnkey systems — we provide sustainable and flexible solutions as well as comprehensive support services to future-proof their investment while maintaining impressive levels of operational efficiency.”
System solution for sandwich cookies
Syntegon’s system solution for sandwich cookies offers an automated packaging line that prioritises speed, flexibility, and efficiency. Central to this solution is the new FGCT count feeder, which groups cookies and loads them into trays, minimising damage and waste. This aligns with Syntegon’s commitment to sustainability. Meanwhile, the FIT linear motor infeed and Pack 202 flow wrapper provide a compact solution for overwrapping trays; the Pack 202, likewise, is a versatile flow wrapping machine, handling various formats at different speeds.
Following the primary packaging process, the new MagTRAC collating unit, which uses linear motor technology for quick format changes, is integrated into the compact BEC endload cartoner. This setup enhances flexibility and reduces changeover times. In that vein, the BEC endload cartoner supports high-speed operation and flexible format handling, minimising downtime and resource consumption.
On the other hand, the Elematic 1001 side load case packer optimises floor space with its compact design and user-friendly interface, integrating smoothly into existing lines. This system solution for sandwich cookies addresses industry challenges like labour shortages and cost pressures. Syntegon also offers service agreements, including remote support and Synexio software for data analysis, optimising production efficiency.
System solution for fresh, chilled, and frozen food
Syntegon’s solution for fresh, chilled, and frozen food features new wash-down RPP pick-and-place robots integrated with a Pack 403 HE flow wrapper, designed for harsh environments with cleaning capabilities for food safety. The stainless-steel frames and motors of the RPP meet NEMA4X standards for durability. The RPP robots load products into the flow wrapper infeed chain. In addition to the primary packaging process, the system includes a Kliklok ACE carton erector and a second RPP cell for loading the flow wrapped products into cartons. Kliklok ACE allows quick transitions between carton sizes, reducing downtime and enhancing flexibility. Its ergonomic design further improves operator efficiency and safety.
This solution showcases a seamless packaging process through integrating advanced technologies. Syntegon offers manufacturers a robust system that meets demanding hygiene and efficiency standards while future-proofing operations. The system’s hygienic design, with stainless-steel construction and wash-down capabilities, ensures food safety standards and increased automation.
SVX Compact
The design of the SVX Compact offers a fast cycle times for snack manufacturers, achieving up to 300 cycles per minute. The drive system is positioned on the sealing mechanism, reducing frame size, making the machine highly compact. Modular design and quick format changes accommodate various product types and packaging styles enhancing future-proof flexibility and production output. The SVX Compact features a patent-pending cross-seal drive for seals that enhance product integrity and extend shelf life. It supports the use of sustainable packaging materials. The hygienic design enables easy cleaning and compliance with food safety standards. Digital real-time monitoring boosts efficiency through data analysis. Remote service capabilities enable proactive maintenance, minimising downtime.
