Packaging Innovation


downstream equipment, the feeding of the biscuits can be buffered for four minutes to ensure that the packaging process runs as smoothly and quickly as possible. Twenty T4 robots guarantee outstanding performance and gentle picking of the products, which are then passed on to the two integrated Flowmoduls. The grippers were specifically developed for the customer’s diverse assortment of baked goods: They gather the biscuits into stacks, which are then placed into the Flowmodul’s feed chains. The system also boasts Schubert’s well-known flexibility when it comes to flowpack sizes, box formats and cartons. Downstream of the Flowpacker, a Cartonpacker takes over


the packaging of the flowpacks into boxes. In six frames for erecting, filling and sealing, the automated process runs in sync with the upstream machines. Five pick & place robots pick up the flowpacks and stack them onto the Transmodul for pre-grouping, after which they are placed into the cartons and sealed. Alternatively, the Multipacker can erect open carton trays, fill them and then pack them directly into multipack flowpacks with the aid of the integrated Flowpacker. In addition to its high performance, the entire system


excels with exceptionally compact design, which enables considerable space savings: The flow-wrapping machine saves up to 70 per cent space compared to conventional machine solutions. With the Multipacker, Balocco can now adapt much more flexibly and sustainably to the needs of consumers and retailers, and thereby benefit from new market opportunities and competitive advantages.
