Integrated bar packaging

The Bosch exhibit consisted of a high-performance, indirect distribution station, a paperboard inlay feeding unit, a high- speed Sigpack HRM flow wrapping machine, and a flexible Sigpack TTM1 topload cartoner.

The Sigpack KA forms flat, U-shaped or O-shaped paperboard inlays that are fed into the high- speed flow wrapper. The Sigpack HRM is equipped with an HPS high-performance splicer and is able to wrap up to 1,500 products per minute. One of the highlights of the system is the Sigpack TTM1 topload cartoner. It stands out for its high product and format flexibility. In this configuration, the machine either loads the flow wrapped products into 24-ct display cartons or fills them directly into a WIP (Work In Process) tray. In addition, the integrated bar system is equipped with the mobile device-friendly Operations and Maintenance Assistants that are both part of the Industry 4.0-based Digital Shopfloor Solutions portfolio. These user-friendly, intuitive assistants boost operators’ capabilities and guide them through maintenance and operative tasks in a quick and easy manner.
