Efficient and innovative secondary packaging from Gampack
Specially designed for the frozen pastry industry , a recently developed packaging line by Gampack guarantees optimal handling of delicate products , even in continuous-cycle production
In the competitive confectionery sector , companies face significant challenges related to secondary packaging . These challenges include the need to maintain food integrity and freshness while ensuring high production speeds to meet market demand without compromising quality .
This year , Gampack Group , a leader in designing , developing , and manufacturing machines for secondary and tertiary packaging , is adding an innovative line dedicated to the secondary packaging of frozen pastries to its portfolio . This 100 percent tailor-made packaging solution was conceived to overcome the complex challenges associated with managing delicate products in continuous-cycle production .
A sophisticated and flexible system
The equipment erects corrugated cardboard boxes from flat blanks , into which a bag is inserted to prevent direct contact between the products and the secondary packaging . All materials in contact with food are strictly food-grade . “ This line , beyond standard packaging operations , performs timely and accurate quality checks on products . It can handle an infeed speed of up to 500 products per minute across various sizes , with an output of up to 50 boxes per minute ,” explains Gaetano Giuri , Gampack ’ s Area Manager for the UK .
This sophisticated , high-tech packaging system ensures a process that preserves product integrity and appearance while optimizing production efficiency . With a strong focus on flexibility and automation , Gampack ’ s solution significantly enhances several crucial aspects of the production process . Thanks to dedicated high-speed pick-and-place robots for frozen foods , Gampack achieves precise , delicate handling that prevents product damage during packaging , ensuring that products reach consumers in perfect condition and enhance brand perception .
Moreover , the line is designed for extreme flexibility , adapting easily to variations in product sizes and packaging types . This versatility allows producers to respond promptly to market trends and consumer demands , enabling the swift launch of new products or variants without additional equipment investment .
Innovation from Italy ’ s Packaging Valley
“ With this new packaging line , Gampack not only strengthens its
presence in the confectionery market but also sets new standards of quality and innovation ,” Giuri says . As a systems provider and manufacturer of packaging machinery , Gampack Group is based in Piacenza , in Italy ’ s renowned Packaging Valley . The company comprises two key divisions : Mechatronics and Robotics . The Mechatronics division specializes in automatic machinery for secondary packaging , primarily for rigid products like beverage cartons , cans , and glass jars . The Robotics division focuses on developing and producing both traditional machines for secondary packaging ( e . g ., forming , closing , and clustering machines ) suitable for both rigid and flexible products , such as doypacks , flow packs , and pouches , as well as palletising lines . Together , these divisions enable Gampack to deliver complete , highly customizable end-of-line systems across various industries , including food , beverages , cosmetics , pharmaceuticals , and more .
