IPCO is preparing to showcase its steel belts and complementary equipment at iba this October. Marko Leber, General Product Manager, Food, IPCO, shared with us what visitors can look forward to at the stand and the company’s focus for the upcoming years.
Syntegon announced the launch of four machines for common vertical form, fill and seal applications at interpack. Two SVX variants, SVX Agile and SVX Duplex, were presented at the interpack booth, which will be launched this year along with two other SVX models.
Cleaning is an essential aspect of belt maintenance. It is important in terms of complying with food regulations as well as ensuring visually appealing baked goods.
When handling crumbly cookies, biscuits and crackers, manufacturers can opt for one of two technologies or even combine them: pick-and-place technology or conveyor systems.
IPCO highlights chocolate forming systems at interpack, designed for the production of industrial ingredients – chips, chunks, drops and blocks – and decorative products such as shavings, rolls, pencils, blossoms, etc.
Syntegon presents flexible systems for cookies and bars, an Innovative Intelligent Direct Handling system that offers format flexibility for cookies and crackers, a high-speed bar system for maximum efficiency with new wireless HMI, and sustainable packaging for cookies and bars made of paper and mono-material.
IPCO launched a new, self-contained laser cleaning system that can be used on-site. It was developed with the aim of lowering cleaning times, which can be cut by at least half, IPCO says, with minimal disruption to other lines.
Syntegon upgraded its Sigpack TTM cartoner platform with lock-style technology for glue-free carton forming.
Syntegon has developed a new solution for the handling and portioning of cookies and crackers. The compact, smart machine ensures gentle processing as well as flexibility.
Energy efficiency may be just part of the equation when selecting a type of belt, but it is an increasingly important one given the dramatic rise in energy costs that the world is currently experiencing.
In business for 115 years, cookie and bar manufacturer Leclerc Foods has been expanding and modernizing its manufacturing capabilities. The acquisition of two bar systems, each with two packaging legs, was part of this project.
