System manufacturer Loesch Verpackungstechnik is exhibiting together with its sister company Hastamat Verpackungstechnik at ProSweets Cologne. The specialist for confectionery packaging is presenting its RCB-HS wrapping head machine used to produce hermeti-cally sealed chocolate bars. In addition to small chocolate items, the latest version of the LTM-DUO die-fold machine also reflects the growing popularity of tightly sealed chocolate bars.

Hygienic product protection and a premium look for high-quality chocolate are just as important as efficient and flexible production and packaging. These requirements are fulfilled by the latest update of the RCB-HS. “The R series for small chocolate products and bars combines a premium look and ideal product protection in an end-to-end hermetically sealed pack,” says Loesch CEO Dr Thomas Cord. “The compact RCB-HS machine platform has been rigorously designed for top performance and handles the primary packaging in modern chocolate production reliably and flexibly. With its performance of up to 600 packaged products per minute, the RCB-HS is unrivalled in the chocolate sector”.

LoeschPack is also presenting the market leader for packaging bars, the LTM-DUO. The latest generation of the flexible fold wrapping machine packs up to 215 bars of chocolate per minute in a primary wrap and an outer wrap. Alongside conventional packaging materials, the primary wrap can also use bio-degradable packaging film with an output of up to 180 bars per minute. In order to influence a significant boost to product safety and the shelf life of chocolate bars, the upgraded LTM-DUO focuses on the sealing technology making it possible to ensure that the bars are kept safe and secure in airtight packaging.
