Packaging equipment solutions business Volpak has unveiled plans to appear at the 2022 Pack-Expo trade fair in Chicago, US with its latest range of machinery, reports Neil Barston.
With over 40 years of experience in the business, the manufacturer of flexible systems said it is strengthening its commitment to both North and South America, with its presence at the show a strong marker for its intentions within the region.
It will be showcasing its new SI 280, a Horizontal Form Fill Seal machine designed for the flexible packaging of consumer goods.
Volpak is part of Coesia, a group of innovation-based industrial and packaging solutions companies operating globally and will exhibit its innovations at the Coesia booth S-2501.
At Pack Expo International in Chicago, Coesia will present machines and products designed to increase the reliability and efficiency of production processes in Food & Beverage and Pharma & Personal Care, as well as showcasing cross industry automation solutions.
Thanks to its own pouching solutions, Volpak machines lead the industry in terms of performance and flexibility, catering the diverse needs of both bigger and smaller brands in the consumer goods market. Sustainability in flexible packaging
Volpak’s strong commitment towards environmental sustainability dates back in time. With the creation of the PouchLab in 2018 the Spanish company has sent a strong and tangible signal by creating a place that allows for the testing of the strength and durability of new sustainable packaging materials, like mono-material ones, as well as their machinability and market application.
The company added that it has continued its commitment to sustainability at Pack Expo 2022and exhibits the SI 280 machine, capable of handling 100% recyclable materials – both packaging material and the hinge of zip pouches.
Moreover, SI 280 features the assisted automated format change – a feature now available for the entire SI series via HMI. Format change is an important phase of production, which is why Volpak has automated some steps, especially in the envelope forming area, to optimise and speed up operations, allowing even technicians without specific training to be able to work on the machines. The automation and digitalisation of the entire SI series allow Volpak machines to be increasingly interconnected with production processes
Another key feature of the SI 280 is the presence of OptiMate, the new Coesia smart HMI systems, developed to makes it easier to change the format and maintain the machine, thanks to the intuitive interface and guided procedures.
The version on show in Chicago will be set up in a Premium mode and will be featuring further advanced characteristics compared to the standard version, including the ability to perform a production analysis through detailed reporting and advanced diagnostics for predictive maintenance.
