be processed on the Elematic ,” explains Bernhard Vaihinger , product manager for case packers at Syntegon . “ We then redesigned the format and shared our proposal , together with explanatory videos on “ How to handle the case ” with the customer .” It was important to keep the blank ’ s dimensions and to ensure that the full wrap-around case with perforation remained feasible and the case easy to open .
“ We were impressed with the fast and efficient solution from Syntegon ,” says Arto Liimatainen . “ In total , we are now able to pack ten case formats with different bag configurations , including 2 times 6 bags , 3 times 6 or even 1 times 8 .” Thanks to its case flexibility , the Elematic 3001 WA Compact can produce full wrap-around , ledge tray and tray cases for various applications .
Building around bags Because the bags do not have a fixed , stable shape , they posed another challenge Syntegon was willing to take on . Case forming , placing the bags inside and closing the bag thus required gentle handling and accurate grouping to literally “ build ” the case around the bags , that beneficial is for the Elematic 3001 WA Compact . The Elematic currently runs every day and is changed to a new format twice a day on average .
