In line with the Fachpack trade fair motto “Transition in Packaging”, Syntegon will be presenting solutions that enable food manufacturers to seamlessly transition to sustainable packaging processes. From 24 to 26 September, visitors to stand 1-257 in Hall 1 will have the opportunity to explore 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 biscuits, and a horizontal line packs bars in paper.
“With the European Union’s Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) coming into effect in 2030, sustainable packaging will no longer be merely an image decision, but a legal requirement,” says Torsten Sauer, Director of Sustainability at Syntegon. “That is why we support manufacturers both with machines and service offerings through 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 stand, 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 in the other exhibits at the stand 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. Additionally, 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 biscuits per minute using the lock-style method. This method produces completely glue-free cartons while allowing manufacturers to minimise energy, maintenance, and material costs and improve the recyclability of their packaging.
