At FachPack, 18 members of the South German packaging cluster Packaging Valley will present themselves – twelve of them at the joint stand in Hall 2. Since the inception of Packaging Valley, FachPack has been one of the most important trade fairs for the association as a place to present the latest developments and joint projects. Sustainability, efficiency and comfort are some of the key topics. In particular, new solutions are presented for quickly attainable service concepts, production of small quantities and for the quick processing and evaluation of large data volumes.

The trade fair stand is also new (image). It offers a modern look, giving more intense focus to the association of members. The concept is a unique realm where visitors are invited to enter through open gates to get to know all about Packaging Valley.

Several members of the cluster will present interesting robotic solutions: R. Weiss (hall 2, stand 221), for example, will be showing products for the baking and confectionery sectors. The exhibits include a monoline Unirob picker and a Unirob picker descrambling system. These feed into the Unirob toploading machine with integrated Intelligent Shuttle System, which is also on display.

PCA (hall 3A, stand 341) will be presenting several innovations for the packing and palletising sectors, including a fast, compact tray erector, a packer with a camera system and pre-grouping technology, as well as an automatically adjustable pail gripper.

Transnova Ruf (hall 3A, stand 232) focusses on flexibility and compactness with its Robot Flexline products. They will also be showing an ultra-compact version of the Robot Palletizer, which can be operated without any safety fence and which is therefore very space-saving and economical.
