On September 18 and 19, Südpack, SN Maschinenbau, and Menshen welcomed customers and media representatives to Südpack’s Erolzheim site for an engaging live event. The spotlight was on a cost-efficient and highly sustainable end-to-end solution for the in-house production of spouted pouches for packaging liquid and pasty food products. The unanimous verdict among those present: The new solution is a strong overall concept with real added value.

At four different themed stations, Südpack’s customers and members of the media had the chance to explore four key focus areas: economic profitability, logistics, quality, and sustainability. Live demonstrations followed, allowing the guests to experience the new concept’s many advantages firsthand. On both days, experts from all three partners were available for exclusive one-on-one discussions.

The innovative new solution enables flexible, highly efficient in-house production of spouted pouches in various sizes and shapes, including the processing of different spout types. At its core is the high-performance SPM 50 packaging machine from SN Maschinenbau, which works seamlessly with mono-materials. The PP-based and therefore recyclable high-performance films for pouch production are provided by Südpack, while the corresponding spouts come from Menshen. The materials and machine settings are perfectly aligned, achieving optimal packaging results with maximum tightness and burst-pressure resistance. “Through our development partnership, we have created a turnkey solution that customers can implement quickly and without complications and it’s a trailblazer in terms of sustainability and economic profitability,” explains Valeska Haux, Vice President Strategic Marketing & Sustainability at Südpack.
