At this year’s PACK EXPO in Las Vegas, Syntegon is inviting visitors to booth W-900 to discover how the company’s technologies and comprehensive services can help manufacturers improve product quality, boost efficiency, and achieve their sustainability goals.

From September 29 to October 1, Syntegon will present a broad portfolio of scalable solutions—from compact starter machines to fully automated high-speed systems—designed to tackle industry challenges such as labor shortage, rising costs, and the demand for recyclable materials. From bars to waffles, frozen food, and beyond, Syntegon's line-up at PACK EXPO Las Vegas showcases the company's extensive portfolio. 

“With our holistic approach, we don’t just supply machines—we deliver tailored solutions and ongoing support to help customers grow and adapt,” says Brad Baker, senior sales director, North America. 

Heat sealing technology

Visitors can experience live demonstrations of how gentle handling meets high speed automation with Syntegon’s packaging line for bar products. Significantly reducing manual intervention, this system addresses the pressing issues of labor shortage and the need for constant high quality, the company says. At the heart of the system is Syntegon’s HCM high-speed flow wrapping machine, equipped with the new Amplified Heat Sealing (AHS) technology. 

According to Syntegon, compared to conventional rotary heat-sealing, AHS delivers exceptionally tight seals by combining rotational and additional linear sealing movements, and can ensure consistent sealing quality under varying process speeds. AHS technology is also suitable for sustainable mono-materials. Another highlight of this system is the Syntegon TTM integrated topload cartoner, capable of processing both WIP trays and retail cartons on one machine. In addition, new digital features such as Syntegon’s "Guide-by-Light" status lighting system, Logbook, and 3D Error View aim to enhance the user experience for reduced downtime and maximum productivity. 

Flexible automation for fragile goods

Another example of Syntegon’s broad portfolio is the fully automated bakery packaging line for waffles or other baked goods. This line similarly tackles labor shortages with full automation, streamlining packaging from initial handling to cartoning. With Syntegon’s linear-motor based Stacking FIT infeed, waffles are stacked just moments before primary packaging, reportedly preventing product damage and waste. The Pack 202 mid-speed flow wrapping machine securely wraps waffle stacks in perforated two-piece packs. The flexible Kliklok MagTrac collation system subsequently groups the flow packs into layers of two by two for endload cartoning by the Kliklok BEC. In order to complete the line, customers may opt for one of Syntegon’s Elematic case packers.

Aiming to maximize output in vertical packaging with high-speed technology

The SVX Agile is a a high-speed vertical bagger, specifically designed for frozen food, chilled or fresh products. With a maximum speed of up to 300 bags per minute and the patented cross-seal drive, the SVX Agile aims to deliver high output in a compact footprint. Its hygienic stainless-steel design allows easy cleaning, while reduced seal height and bag length help save up to 7% in packaging material per bag, lowering costs and supporting sustainability goals, the company says. The modular design supports various bag styles.

Making automation accessible for growing businesses with cost-efficient equipment

For manufacturers moving from manual to semi-automated operations, Syntegon is introducing a cost-effective entry point with the Pack 103 flow wrapper and the Doboy CBS-D 750 band sealer. Designed for a variety of products, these compact machines combine robust performance and flexibility, the company adds, saying that the Pack 103 flow wrapper features a hygienic design, quick format changes, and seamless integration. The Doboy CBS-D 750 band sealer can deliver high-integrity seals for heat-sealable bag materials. The CBS-D 750 can reportedly offer sealing speeds of up to 25 meters per minute, digital temperature control, and maintenance features like tool-free band changes.
