Making its debut at Interpack 2011 is a new bar packaging line designed specifically for the primary and secondary packaging of bars and bar-shaped products. Developed for speeds of up to 150 cartons/min (enabling an overall output of 1,000-plus bars/min), the new bar packaging system, including station, accumulator, flow wrapper and cartoner as well as all the interfaces are part of a single design.

All speeds of all components in the line are balanced to eliminate bottlenecks and minimize downtime. Standardized parts and components, as well as high visibility and accessibility, simplify cleaning and maintenance. Automated precision splicing at high speeds of up to 150 meters/min enables operators to simply place new reels into the splicer, reducing the risk of human error. Cleaning and format changeover times are reduced to just minutes through optimal accessibility, tool-less changeover and innovative changeover strategies.
