Complete primary and multipack packaging solution for bars
Efficient packaging of individual bars and their multipacks in industries such as food and confectionery demands automated systems for speed and reliability. Challenges include precise product alignment, seamless wrapping, and efficient secondary packaging into boxes.
Automates primary and multipack bar packaging
The complete packaging solution from ULMA Packaging Spain is designed for the automatic primary and multipack packaging of bars. The system begins with a rows distribution mechanism that aligns the product for high-performance flow wrapping. Individual bars are then wrapped at high speed using a flow pack machine. A robotic cell collects these wrapped bars, groups them, and transfers them onto the multipack chain. The multipacks are further organized and positioned onto an infeed conveyor, moving to the secondary packaging phase. Here, an automatic case erector supplies the formed boxes, and the case packing cell loads the multipacked bars into these boxes. The system allows for automatic format changes, providing flexibility and efficiency. Ideal for the food and biscuit/confectionery industries, this solution supports high throughput and minimal downtime.
