Joint booth at the trade fair in Chicago
Some 2,600 exhibitors from the packaging and processing industry will present their latest innovations at PACK EXPO in Chicago, which will take place from November 3 to 6. German packaging machine manufacturers LoeschPack and Hastamat will showcase their extensive range of products at their joint booth located at S-2695.
With the LTM-DUO combination line, LoeschPack will present its versatile solution for packaging chocolate bars to trade visitors at PACK EXPO. “LoeschPack and Hastamat’s innovative systems take into account all packaging steps for a wide range of food and non-food products, encompassing everything from feeding to final packaging. In addition to individual machines, our portfolio also includes complete packaging lines,” says Olaf Piepenbrock, Managing Partner of LoeschPack, Hastamat, and the parent company Piepenbrock.
Combination line integrates both fold wrapping and cartoning
LoeschPack’s combination line provides optimal packaging solutions for machines and features a high degree of automation, minimal staffing requirements, and a small footprint. The flexible fold wrapping machine LTM-DUO packs more than 200 bars of chocolate per minute in a tightly sealed primary wrap. The outer wrap can be executed as a paper envelope from the stack or reel and as a cardboard envelope. The machine is joined by the CMW cartoning module, which fills 30 display cartons per minute. An integrated buffer is utilized between primary packaging and cartoning to minimize product waste during periods of downtime. Only one hot glue device and a controller with the new HMI operated by an operator are required for the entire line. Thanks to its compact design, the combination line occupies much less space than similar layouts. It also can serve as a cost-effective alternative to a configuration with two stand-alone machines.
