Syntegon, a leading developer of processing and packaging technology in the pharmaceutical and food industry, has announced that it will showcase its line expertise in horizontal packaging solutions for cookies and bars at interpack, one of the world’s largest events for the packaging industry, in Dusseldorf, Germany, this May. 

The new Syntegon IDH is at the heart of a line which flexibly packages cookies and crackers in trays and flow wraps made of mono-material. Thanks to a new pick-and-place technology with integrated linear motors, it handles products particularly gently. Linear motors also feature in various feeding modules in both lines to prevent product damage during handling and boost flexibility. In addition to gentle handling, the high-performance system for bars that will be on show offers high levels of sustainability and digitalization. The line is equipped with a paper-ON-form forming shoulder and wraps bars in paper before placing them in glueless formed cartons in the TTM1 topload cartoner with an integrated lock-style forming station. Moreover, Syntegon will present a new wireless Human Machine Interface (HMI) that allows operators to access all available information and digital services at any time.
