In keeping with the Fachpack trade fair motto ‘Transition in Packaging,” Syntegon will present solutions that allow food manufacturers to seamlessly transition to sustainable packaging processes. From 24 to 26 September, visitors to stand 1-257 in Hall 1 will be able to experience various solutions for future-proof processing of environmentally friendly packaging materials: the VFFS SVX Agile produces pouches made from mono-material, the Kliklok ACE carton erector forms glueless carton trays for cookies, and a horizontal line packs bars in paper.
“With the European Union’s Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) taking effect in 2030, sustainable packaging will no longer be just an image decision, but a legal requirement,” says Torsten Sauer, director of sustainability at Syntegon. “That is why we support manufacturers both in terms of machines and service offerings with our innovative technologies and integrated packaging systems. Our goal is to help them prepare for these new market conditions so that they can make a seamless transition to sustainable, PPWR-compliant packaging.”
Sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand
One of these future-proof solutions is the SVX Agile vertical packaging machine. Its name says it all: thanks to a patent-pending cross-seal drive, it achieves the highest output rates in the industry – even with sustainable packaging materials such as mono-material or paper. Depending on pouch size and film specifications, the SVX Agile produces up to 300 pouches per minute. At the trade fair booth, the SVX Agile creates pouches from 100 percent recyclable mono-material. This allows manufacturers to save resources during production without sacrificing performance.
Primary packaging made of paper and cardboard
Environmentally friendly materials play a key role on the other exhibits at the booth as well. A packaging line for bars, consisting of a Pack 403 horizontal flow-wrapper and an infeed module, is equipped with the innovative paper-ON-form forming shoulder. This forming shoulder is available both for new machines and as a retrofit kit for existing Pack 403 flow-wrappers. Brand owners can switch from plastic film to paper without sacrificing performance. In addition, the paper-ON-form forming shoulder can easily process paper from various manufacturers.
The Kliklok ACE carton erector also supports brand owners in conserving resources: depending on the material and tray design, the compact machine forms up to 100 carton trays for cookies per minute using the lock-style method. This method produces completely glue-free cartons, while allowing manufacturers to minimize energy, maintenance, and material costs and improve the recyclability of their packaging.
Services for a smooth transition
The key to sustainable packaging solutions lies not least in efficient material testing and consulting services. Syntegon specifically addresses the requirements of its customers and supports them during their transition to environmentally friendly and PPWR-compliant packaging. Experts perform comprehensive analyses and material tests in in-house laboratories to define suitable packaging materials, subsequently testing them on the production machine under real-life conditions.
The cloud-based software solution Synexio, which is available with the Service Agreements, supports manufacturers in optimizing their systems’ process parameters. The Uptime package comes with a “sustainability monitoring” feature that provides data on power consumption and waste production – and helps manufacturers to reduce their ecological footprint. “We continuously keep developing our system solutions so that we can help companies to make their packaging processes more environmentally friendly,” explains Sauer. “We are currently working on a new paper-ON-form retrofit kit for paper multipacks and will be presenting samples of this new format to visitors to show where sustainable packaging is heading next.”
If you would like to find out more about how you too can make a seamless transition to sustainable packaging, visit Syntegon from 24 to 26 September at stand 1-257 at Fachpack in Nuremberg.
