A warm reception for the new StackPacker at IBA!
Wow! The StackPacker received a lot of positive feedback and happy faces over the past week! The visitors at IBA and our own colleagues, both warmly welcomed the new StackPacker. This new packaging machine packs all kind of bakery products, layer by layer, bag-in-box. We demonstrated it for the first time at IBA.
When developing a new solution, we naturally consider the market and the customer's needs in advance, but it's always exciting to unveil a brand-new machine to a larger audience. Do companies see the added value of the new machine? And is there actual willingness to invest? That remains to be seen in practice.
"If 5% of those interested buy the machine, we'll be very busy in the coming years!" says Evert Slagman, developer of new concepts."
Touch-free layer packaging
The unique packaging concept of the StackPacker
The question
A robot pick-and-place line for stacking loose rolls, donuts, or Berliners bag-in-box is, of course, a fantastic solution, but it's a significant investment both in terms of money and square footage. Can't it be done differently? This question set our Research & Development team in motion.
The solution
By thinking differently and out of the box, the concept for the StackPacker was born. With the ultimate goal in mind - namely, to neatly and gently stack products layer by layer in a box - the packaging needs and requirements were examined. The result is a compact machine, perfect for the job. The products are positioned above the box by a conveyor belt and then gently laid down to ensure optimal condition upon packing. The upstream process is key. The products need to be pre-sorted and reach the packaging station in a fixed formation.
The StackPacker in brief
- A perfect layer placed every 4 seconds
- Approximately 29,000 packaged products per hour
- Touch-free packaging
- Zero falling height for your product
