PPMA SHOW PREVIEW
EXPANDING ROBOTICS E
requirements.
The enhanced offering will make its PPMA debut this September (Stand D90) where, for the first time, visitors to the Endoline stand will see a fully integrated production line combining case erecting, case sealing and palletising. The demonstration reflects Endoline’s continued commitment to delivering complete, connected end-of-line solutions that can be engineered around each customer’s exact operational needs. Building on the success of its robotics division, Endoline has
broadened its robotics portfolio through a collaboration with Montech. The partnership complements the company’s existing robotics capability, enabling Endoline to offer both gantry and articulated robotic solutions as part of its end-of-line automation portfolio.
ONE CONDUCTOR, ONE LINE W S
The expanded capability provides manufacturers with greater flexibility when specifying automation projects. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, Endoline can recommend the most appropriate robotic technology based on product type, throughput, factory layout and future production requirements, creating bespoke solutions that evolve alongside each customer’s business. At PPMA, visitors will see an Endoline Case Erector and case sealer integrated with Montech’s palletising system. While operating as a complete production line, each machine can also function independently or be integrated into existing packaging operations, providing customers with a scalable approach to automation. u endoline-

idel will be emphasising the message: ‘when each element of production works together in harmony, high performance follows’ at this year’s PPMA Show.
“Under our strapline of ‘one conductor, one perfectly executed line’, visitors to Stand D14 can discover how Sidel combines precision engineering, advanced packaging technologies and local expertise to orchestrate complete line performance,” said Abhinav Sharma, Account Manager for FHPC (Food, Home, Personal Care) at Sidel (UK). From new greenfield projects to targeted line upgrades, Sidel acts as a strategic partner, bringing every element of production into harmony across multiple primary packaging formats.
Sidel will demonstrate how it supports manufacturers at every stage of the packaging journey, from engineering and line design through to equipment integration, end-of-line solutions and lifecycle services. End-of- line solutions remain a key area of focus, with Sidel’s experts available to discuss technologies including robotic packing and palletising solutions such as RoboAccess_Pal S, alongside wider approaches to improving productivity, optimising floor space and enhancing operational flexibility. Beyond equipment and integration, Sidel also offers a comprehensive range of services designed to maximise performance throughout the equipment lifecycle, helping manufacturers reduce downtime, improve efficiency and support long-term operational success. Backed by a strong local presence, Sidel’s UK team will be on-hand
throughout the show to discuss their tailored solutions and demonstrate how integrated packaging expertise can unlock measurable gains in efficiency, sustainability and production reliability.

ndoline Automation is expanding its robotics capability, enabling manufacturers to access an even broader range of end-of-line automation solutions tailored to their individual production
NEW DIVISION LAUNCHED A
utopack Group brings its largest-ever machinery showcase
to the PPMA Show 2026 – with a new distributorship, new machinery and the launch of a brand-new division, Autoweigh. A total of 25 machines across two stands (A12 and B20) will showcase the full capabilities of the Autopack Group’s flexible and rigid businesses alongside its new weighing and inspection systems.
The range of flexible and rigid packaging machinery solutions across food, beverage, snacks, dairy, pet care, pharmaceutical, personal & home care sectors, nutraceuticals, agriculture and quarrying will be on show. The stands bring together the packaging strengths from Autopack’s acquisitions, partnerships and engineering expertise. For Autopack’s flexible packaging solutions, Technosys’ popular coffee solution the A300 quad seal with degassing valve will be featured alongside an A200 VFFS machine with an Autoweigh linear weigher, supplying sachets into the EX1 compact Xray machine. The EX1 forms part of the German inspection manufacturer Sesotecs portfolio and is the latest brand to sign a distributorship with the Autopack Group.
Stand A12 will focus on the sack filling range with the new AP500 from APM, part of Autopack’s flexible packaging division. The auger-fed gross weigher system, designed for B2B sellers, can fill 10 to 50 kilograms of powder or granular products into open-top sacks and is adaptable for a variety of industries. Alongside the AP500 will be the AP400 valve sack packing machine together with the AP600 which is an automatic open mouth sack placer and the latest bulk bag discharger will also be featured at the show. Visitors can meet the Autopack team on stands A12 and B20. u

FLUID HANDLING SOLUTIONS ON SHOW
atson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) will showcase a range of innovative fluid handling solutions, including the Bredel CIP pump, MasoSine Certa Sine pump and Watson- Marlow peristaltic pumps, during PPMA show. Visitors to Stand G12 can discover more about the Bredel CIP pump, which is designed for sanitary and hygienic processes that require optimal efficiency and regular clean-in-place (CIP). Finalist in the Product of the Year category at the Pump Industry Awards, the Bredel CIP pump features automatic retractable shoes that fully open the hose, allowing CIP fluid to flow at the optimal velocity for effective cleaning. By eliminating hose compression during the CIP process, the design also helps to extend hose life. The pump is particularly suited to breweries and other food and beverage applications where efficient cleaning and reduced maintenance are critical. WMFTS will also highlight its MasoSine Certa Sine pump, which delivers high output and gentle product handling for demanding food and beverage applications. Featuring a one-shaft, one-seal design, Certa offers superior energy efficiency and is certified to EHEDG Type EL Aseptic Class I standards. The aseptic certification confirms the bacteria-tight design when using a double mechanical seal. Its gentle handling capabilities make it particularly effective for transferring shear-sensitive and high-viscosity products while maintaining product quality and yield. Also on display will be the Watson-Marlow peristaltic pump range, engineered for high-precision fluid handling with accuracy of up to ±0.5. The pumps’ closed fluid path design ensures complete product isolation during transfer, filling and filtration; minimising contamination risk and supporting sterile processes across a range of applications. Their scalable design enables manufacturers to move from development to full-scale production while maintaining process consistency and product quality. u
