ENGINEERING EFFICIENCY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF PACKAGING
F
or over 90 years, Theegarten- Pactec have established themselves as pioneers in the confectionery sector and continue to live up to
their innovations for all performance levels today. With the FPC6, Theegarten-Pactec is specifically strengthening its expertise in flow- wrap packaging and presenting this innovative system solution for efficient packaging processes – from unpackaged products to secondary packaging in cartons. The entirely new generation of machines doesn’t focus on the principle of ‘faster, higher, further’, but rather on stable, reliable and sustainable efficiency throughout the entire life cycle. With the new machine, the company is also implementing an automated system from a single source, which transfers the flow packs directly to the BLM high-performance cartoner developed in-house.
Outstanding flexibility for a wide range of products and packaging materials The FPC6 reliably packs chocolate, confectionery, cereal and protein bars, functional foods and snacks into flow packs. It processes a wide variety of product formats without major retooling and masters several sealing types – cold sealing, heat sealing and cut-seam welding for water-soluble films. An integrated preheating section also enables the reliable processing of sensitive materials such as paper or recyclable mono films, even in high-performance operation. The FPC6 thereby offers maximum flexibility combined with
With more than 90 years of confectionery expertise, Theegarten-Pactec is combining flexible flow-wrapping, automation and intelligent machine design to deliver reliable packaging performance with greater efficiency and less operator dependence.
consistently high packaging quality – a decisive advantage for manufacturers who are increasingly working with changing packaging materials and sustainable material solutions. The FPC6 was consistently designed to make machine operation largely independent of the operators’ qualifications and experience level. Theegarten-Pactec’s goal is to enable customers to operate their systems independently, reliably and with a high degree of efficiency in times of skilled labour shortages. A key factor is the improved identification of error causes and their effects. Enhanced visualisations on the touch panel and graphic replacement images provide operators with targeted support in systematic troubleshooting, even if the cause and the fault are physically separated.
Simplified design for reliable processes Theegarten-Pactec reduces additional sources of error with its well-conceived design. Critical components can be removed and cleaned without tools. All replaceable components
are designed in line with the ‘poka-yoke’ principle (a Japanese method for avoiding errors in production and work processes), which prevents incorrect installation. Theegarten-Pactec also focuses on maximum user convenience and reproducibility when changing formats: all relevant settings are recorded electronically and stored in the recipe management system. Electronic counting scales ensure repeat accuracy during format changes; manual adjustments via trial and error are no longer necessary.
THE ENTIRELY NEW GENERATION OF MACHINES DOESN’T FOCUS ON THE PRINCIPLE OF ‘FASTER, HIGHER, FURTHER’, BUT RATHER ON STABLE, RELIABLE AND SUSTAINABLE EFFICIENCY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE
Everything from a single source – automated and networked The FPC6 is designed both as a stand-alone solution and as part of an integrated system solution. The flow packs can be transferred directly to the high-performance BLM cartoner. From the unpackaged product to the carton, everything comes from a single source: including distribution systems, storage and feed components. The entire process is fully automated without the need for manual intervention.
