Packaging system innovation to be demonstrated
Demonstrations at the USA' Pack Expo show include an advanced measuring feeder and flow wrapper for biscuits, a toploader and a multi application robot for feed placing or picking and placing.
Applications include pharmaceutical, luxury and consumer goods.
Burgopak packaging design employs a patented operating system that presents the product in a sliding tray.
This innovative packaging is simple to handle, and is particularly functional in terms of added value marketing.
It is especially suitable for pills and capsules in blister packs, but the style has been used to package mobile phones, CDs, DVDs, SIM cards, other electronic articles, and promotional items.
Ergonomics and manageability, as well as customer and product safety are key characteristics of this type of packaging.
Due to high demand - more than 15 million units have already been hand assembled - existing market trends and product requirements in the pharmaceutical industry, Burgopak decided to automate the production.
Burgopak have commissioned Sigpack Systems to design and construct the first machine for high speed production of Burgopak packaging.
Sigpack Systems is a leading manufacturer of packaging machinery, principally for the food and pharmaceutical industry.
The integrated system solution for high speed packaging automation will ensure high production efficiency by using new core technologies in product handling, feeding systems and carton forming.
Patrick Heininger, CEO of Burgopak says: "We welcome an effective co-operation with Sigpack Systems, a renowned and reliable partner.
The automation of our production will enable us to provide our innovative packaging for a much broader range of products at lower cost.
The exemplary standards of Sigpack Systems will ensure the continued high quality, which we have achieved for our hand-made products, with automated production.".
