Hugo Beck To Unveil Flexible Machine Technology For
Film And Paper Packaging
H
ugo Beck, the world’s leading
manufacturer of horizontal
flowpack, film packaging and post-
print processing machines, is showcasing
a new series of paper packaging solutions
at this year’s FachPack. Introduced at the
show under the slogan, ‘Film or paper?
Stay flexible’, Hugo Beck is meeting the
growing demand for sustainable primary
and secondary packaging solutions by
enabling customers to choose both the
packaging type and material, all from one
single machine.
Hugo Beck’s flexible machine technology
now allows customers to select whether
a product is packaged in film, paper
or composite material. The packaging
machines can be easily adapted to
new packaging materials with a simple
changeover. It is also possible to convert
existing film packaging machines to use a
new packaging substrate.
Both uncoated and coated paper can
be used for producing bags with two
glued or sewn sides plus a top overlap or,
alternatively, with no overlap and three
sewn sides. Additional options of banding
with overlapping are also available.
Visitors to the stand 307 in hall 4A will
be able to see the flexibility of a modified
Hugo Beck film packaging machine
as it packs and labels products within
uncoated paper. In addition, flowpack
production with a PE-coated paper will
also be demonstrated on the stand.
In addition to the new paper-based
solutions, Hugo Beck’s customer specific
filmic packaging solutions for primary
and secondary packaging that enable
production of flowpacks, poly bags
and shrink packs will remain a primary
focus for the company. Customers
can select from the wide variety of
polyolefin, polypropylene, polyethylene
and composite films available within
the market, and all independent of the
manufacturer. The latest films made
from up to 100% recycled material
and all bioplastics such as PLA films
can also be applied using Hugo Beck
machine technology. With extremely thin
packaging films available from just 7μm,
the packaging volume for manufacturers
and consumers can be significantly
reduced. This, combined with Hugo Beck’s
high cycle rates and significantly reduced
film consumption, mean that a machine
investment can pay for itself in a short
period of time – often through the annual
film savings alone.
