Syntegon Technology presents its latest processing and packaging solutions at Pack Expo in Las Vegas from 27-29 September 2021 . The focus of booth C-2800 is on intelligent robotics and automation technologies . Two automated lines and a series of live presentations offer visitors insights into Syntegon ’ s equipment and service portfolio for the factory of the future .
z Robotic solutions enhance flexibility , efficiency , and quality
The Covid-19 pandemic has further fueled the automation megatrend . While Syntegon has been offering robotic solutions for decades , the newly developed pick-and-place platform , Syntegon RPP , sets new standards in the automation of packaging lines . The modular and highly flexible platform automates process steps such as handling , feeding , and loading for a wide range of products . Together with transport modules , the Delta robots can be flexibly connected and seamlessly integrated into an overall system .
With the Sigpack TTMD topload cartoner with integrated Delta robots , Syntegon showcases another solution for automated secondary packaging . The TTMD is equipped with one or more Delta robot cells . It processes products from multiple infeed sources in random order and orientation . A camera-based vision system detects the individual products on the infeed belt . Robotic arms pick the products and place them flat or on-edge in the cartons .
Additionally , the Kliklok ACE offers food manufacturers full flexibility in carton forming . They can choose between glue , lock-style , or innovative ultrasonic technology . Both the lock-style and ultrasonic versions are glue-free , making them a sustainable option for different carton format sizes . At Pack Expo , visitors can experience the sustainability and efficiency benefits of the Kliklok ACE live – and take a closer look at sample trays made from paper that can replace commonly used plastic trays for cookies .
As of November , all Syntegon machines will be delivered “ IoT ready ” and provide interfaces for numerous digital solutions , enabling customers to enter a new level of digitalization . Photo Syntegon
