Quick and easy changeovers of case packing<br />
formats with Bosch technology<br />
Cereals, biscuits, chocolate, cheese, frozen food or coffee can now be case-packed with even more<br />
flexibility. Bosch Packaging Technology, a leading provider of processing and packaging technology,<br />
has developed a modular collation platform for its Elematic case packing series. This platform consists<br />
of standardised assembly groups for the infeed and accelerator belt, collation chain and product<br />
transfer, which can be configured as required. Products can be fed horizontally, vertically, in line<br />
or at a 90-degree angle.<br />
Bernhard Vaihinger, Head of<br />
Product Management, Innovation<br />
and Technology at Bosch<br />
Packaging Technology in<br />
Remshalden, Germany, says: “The<br />
growing product variety on the<br />
manufacturer side requires<br />
increasingly flexible packaging<br />
solutions. With the new modular<br />
collation platform, our case<br />
packers will be able to offer even<br />
more flexibility. In future, the<br />
platform will be available for the<br />
entire Elematic series – from the<br />
wrap-around case packer and side<br />
load case packers for pre-glued<br />
blanks, right through to the top<br />
loaders.” The new grouping<br />
platform on the Elematic 3001<br />
case packer was presented for the<br />
first time at the FachPack 2016<br />
trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany.<br />
Grouping folding boxes or bags<br />
around, into a tray or into two-part<br />
shelf-ready display cases.<br />
Different pack styles can be<br />
grouped, such as folding cartons,<br />
flow wraps, stand-up pouches, doy<br />
packs, cans or tablets.<br />
Standardised assembly groups<br />
enable different infeed scenarios<br />
for various pack styles. Series<br />
technology allows for quick and<br />
easy setup, and replaces the need<br />
for customized developments of<br />
special solutions. Customers<br />
benefit from proven technology<br />
and fast throughput times.<br />
Format changeover in eight<br />
minutes<br />
The ‘Elematic click system’<br />
enables easy, reproducible and<br />
completely tool-less changeovers<br />
on the Elematic 3001. It indicates<br />
acoustically to the operator when<br />
parts successfully lock into place.<br />
This eliminates the need for fine<br />
adjustments and removes the risk<br />
The case packer Elematic 3001<br />
packs products into full wrapof<br />
errors when reading from scales,<br />
while also reducing scheduled<br />
downtimes. Format changeovers<br />
can be performed in just eight<br />
minutes – depending on the<br />
grouping pattern.<br />
Ergonomic design and easy<br />
operation<br />
The Elematic 3001 case packer is<br />
characterized by its ergonomic<br />
design with a low blank magazine.<br />
The granulate for the hot melt<br />
system can be safely refilled from<br />
the outside and the machinery has<br />
an open and easy-access<br />
framework, allowing for good<br />
visibility of packaging processes<br />
and increasing ease of use. ■<br />
