Key takeaways
- Flexible systems support flat and on-pile pack styles
- Gentle handling helps minimize breakage of delicate products
- Robotic and linear motor technologies enable high output and flexible handling
- Integrated solutions combine product handling, flow wrapping, cartoning, and case packing
Package round biscuits flat on-pile or on-edge in a flow wrap
Flexibility is enabled by the integration of linear motor technology. Syntegon has extensive experience in applying linear motors to the packaging process. The technology is very robust, allows for a highly compact design. It offers important benefits such as flat and on-edge pack styles on the same machine, including quick format changes as well as advanced gentle handling.
Key information:
- Vibratory channel capacity: Up to 10,000 crackers or biscuits
- Flow wrapper (flat stacked): Up to 270 pile packs per minute in various formats
- Flow wrapper (on-edge slug): Up to 145 slug packs per minute in various formats
- Sideload case packer: Loads up to 160 packs into 20 cases per minute
This solution is ideal for manufacturers who process large quantities of crackers or plain biscuits. The system offers robust technology and great flexibility on a small footprint. To complete the system and to benefit from a fully automated solution, Syntegon offers a range of endload and topload cartoning options as well as RSC and wraparound case packers.
Package biscuits, cookies and crackers flat in flow wraps
Flexibility is enabled by the integration of linear motor technology. Syntegon has extensive experience in applying linear motors to the packaging process. The technology is very robust, allows for a highly compact design and offers important benefits such as flat and on-edge pack styles on the same machine, quick format changes as well as advanced gentle handling.
Key information:
- Product infeed flat on belts: 1,600 products per minute
- Flow wrapper (flat stacked): Up to 320 pile packs per minute in various formats
- Flow wrapper (on-edge slug): Up to 95 slug packs per minute in various formats
This system is ideal for manufacturers who produce very delicate cookies, crackers or biscuits. The products may be very thin or brittle, such as gluten-free biscuits. Advanced gentle handling reduces breakage and product loss. To complete the system and to benefit from a fully automated solution, Syntegon offers a range of endload and topload cartoning options as well as RSC and wraparound case packers.
Robotic system solution, capping and tray loading
Central to the system is a pick-and-place line consisting of several delta robots to first cap the sandwich cookies and then to load them flat into trays. The complete system solution includes all process steps from cookie capping, product distribution, tray loading, flow wrapping, cartoning and case packing – all in one seamless system.
Key information:
- Product infeed: Over 3,000 cookies per minute
- Tray loading: Up to 1,200 cookies loaded into 600 trays per minute
- Delta robots: Max 120 cycles per minute per robot
Efficiency, food safety and high output are key benefits of this integrated system. Fully automated and seamlessly integrated systems from Syntegon are engineered and built for reliable performance. Automated processes eliminate monotonous repetitive tasks and add to the overall quality of the packs.
Innovative and highly compact pick-and-place solution for flat or on-edge packaging
This pick-and-place solution takes proven linear motor technology to the next level. Four pack styles can be produced on one highly compact system: pile configurations in trays or in flow wraps and slug configurations in trays or in flow wraps.
Key information:
- Product infeed: Up to 1,500 products per minute in a random pattern on the infeed belt
- Pick-and-place: Picker bar with up to 35 vacuum grippers in one row, precisely controlled by linear motors, single and double pick possible
- Sealing technology: Tight packs with Amplified Heat Sealing, suitable for mono-material
- Film speed: Up to 60 meters per minute
The system is interesting for manufacturers with limited production space and high requirements in terms of gentle handling. Linear motors ensure smooth movements to minimize product breakage, while the up to 35 vacuum grippers handle sensitive products gently. Manufacturers can adjust the number of pickers to accommodate the width of the conveyor belt or changes in production volume. All machines, including cartoning and case packing, combined to a seamless Syntegon system provide very high levels of efficiency on a small footprint.
