System integration

System integration in flow wrappers is backed by our long-standing experience in system integration, supporting the successful implementation of your ideas and visions. Our seamlessly integrated systems, including flow wrappers, benefit from coordinated components, tailored specifically to your requirements. Together, we develop a customized solution for your horizontal packaging processes, including product distribution systems, feeding solutions, horizontal flow wrapping, and secondary packaging. A uniform control platform for the entire system, including flow wrappers, ensures optimal operations and contributes to a high overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). From entering the packaging process until your products are transported to supermarket shelves, we have got you covered with our flow wrappers.

• Product distribution systems
• Feeding systems
• Primary packaging in flow wraps
• Primary packaging in multi packs
• Secondary and final packaging

Sealing competence

Only the right combination of temperature, pressure, sealing time and film type will deliver reliable seals for flow wraps. Additionally, the respective packaging style and product are key factors when deciding for a sealing technology. To master this challenge, we assess your requirements and identify the ideal solution for your product. On request, our test laboratory in Beringen, Switzerland, will carry out extensive tests before you decide on a sealing technology. Our experts are happy to consider the following options with you:

• Rotary, cold
• Rotary, hot
• AHS-Sealing, hot
• Rotary, Ultrasonic
• LongDwell, hot
• LongDwell, Ultrasonic

Sustainable flow wraps

Sensitive food products and film packaging go together like a horse and carriage – or rather they used to. Times are changing, and so does the material that products are wrapped in. Today, even oily and sensitive products like chocolate and baked goods can be wrapped in recyclable mono-materials or paper-based alternatives. Our retrofit kit paper-ON-form processes different types of barrier-paper as well as conventional packaging materials on the same machine, which allows switching materials on the fly. Thanks to our Amplified Heat Sealing (AHS) technology, you can also create tight packs with recyclable, but heat-sensitive mono-material films.

• Paper-based packaging, cold sealing
• Paper-based packaging, hot sealing
• Mono-material, cold sealing
• Mono-material, hot sealing
• Bio-based materials, cold sealing
• Bio-based materials, hot sealing

Matching packaging style

Crackers, cookies, or granola bars require an attractive presentation in supermarket shelves. The flow wrapping materials and packaging design should match the product and brand image. With our horizontal flow wrapping machines, you can customize your design according to your individual product requirements. Whether you want opening aids, hermetically sealed packaging for sensitive products or hot and humid climate zones, or flow wraps with Euro holes that can be hung on racks – our experts will find the right solution for you.

• Packs with opening aids
• Multi packs
• Hermetically sealed packs
• Flow wraps with carton tray
• Trays in flow wraps – on edge or stacked
• Wide range of end fin options

Efficient manufacturing for everyone

Flow wrapping machines for startups and small companies
Automation helps with labor-intensive packaging steps, especially when headcounts are small and product safety is a priority. Flow wrapped packs protect the product from environmental influences at low cost. They offer lots of options in terms of brand recognition: different materials and packaging designs convey brand values and high product quality. With up to 150 products per minute, entry-level machines already deliver a significantly higher output than manual packaging. In addition, it avoids direct contact between operator and product, thus improving product safety.

Automating the future of small and medium-sized manufacturers
Young and innovative, fast-growing companies often need to adjust their production needs to ever-changing markets and be able to scale up their production output quickly. Expanding their production and packaging facilities must be carefully considered though. The packaging system must be flexible to accommodate a variety of products and packaging formats. It is important to invest in reliable, future-proof technologies that are easy to operate and clean and ensure optimal resource efficiency. Our experts support you in adapting your production lines and service contracts to your individual requirements. Together we work on achieving your production targets quickly and efficiently.

System integration for medium-sized and large companies
Established companies looking to increase their market share, need to adjust their processes to changing requirements. With Syntegon, they benefit from fast changeovers for different products and package configurations, and quick and easy cleaning processes to avoid contamination. Our systems can be seamlessly integrated to function as a single unit – which makes your production more efficient and ready for industry 4.0. All interfaces are harmonized and the machines communicate with one another. This allows the system to autonomously regulate itself and ensures continuous product flows. The result: reduced downtimes and higher output.
