Horizontal, vertical and secondary packaging to services

From 14 to 16 September 2022, Syntegon will display its varied food packaging portfolio at the PackEx India at Bombay Exhibition Center in Mumbai. It will be the first time since the beginning of the global pandemic that the company presents its versatile solutions for food processing and packaging at a trade show in India.

Customers and suppliers can look forward to various vertical, horizontal and secondary packaging systems for candies, snacks and powders, as well as sustainable packaging solutions – in keeping with the company’s mission to deliver processing and packaging for a better life. Finally, after sales services will round out at the Syntegon stand H30 in Hall 1. “In the past few years, we have proven that Syntegon is a strong player with a global presence in the packaging industry. At the PackEx India, we will showcase our broad range of solutions and demonstrate how we enable customers to quickly respond to market and product changes,” says Nilesh Vedak, managing director of Syntegon Technology India.

One of the highlights of the PackEx India stand are the vertical packaging solutions – visitors will have the chance to take a closer look at the SVE 2520 AR vertical form, fill and seal machine, which can package nuts, extruded snacks or Indian namkeen in airtight bags. With an output of up to 200 bags per minute, the machine is designed to process various products at high speeds for maximum efficiency.

The vertical portfolio at the show will also include an SVI 4000 vertical bagger for packaging powdered food and non-food products in combination with an auger for precise dosing and PHS 2.0 sealing technology – achieving higher fill weights of up to ten kilograms. Additionally, both the SVI 4000 and PHS 2.0 sealing system can process recyclable mono-materials without compromising on production speed – a win-win for manufacturers looking to combine highly efficient processes with more sustainable packaging materials.

For visitors interested in horizontal packaging solutions, Syntegon will present the flow wrapper Pack 201 HS for wrapping layer cakes at the booth. The machine will be shown in combination with a Pack Feeder 4 infeed and a Pack Feeder 4 IB3. Moreover, the company will showcase Sigpack ZF vibratory channels that allow for gentle handling and function as a buffering system for the processed products, ensuring safe product transport and avoiding product waste.

In addition, Syntegon will also highlight its proven BVK 2000 A form, fill and seal machine for flow wrapping confectionery products like hard candy at high speeds. Manufacturers benefit from the flow wrapper’s efficiency and reliability, as well as fast changeovers that allow them to process a variety of products and pack styles.

Complementing Syntegon’s versatile portfolio, the company also offers secondary packaging solutions – for example, the Sigpack TTME cartoner is suitable for a variety of carton formats and sizes. At the booth the visitors can take a closer look at different packaging samples for a broad area of applications.

The PackEx stand will also feature Syntegon’s extended Service and Digital Solutions portfolio. The company now offers revised Service Agreements with a range of service levels, including maintenance, spare parts management, remote services, and training. The flexible packages provide customized support at a fixed price over predefined time periods. “With our large portfolio of machines and services, we can provide customers with optimal support throughout the entire lifecycle of their machine and offer solutions tailored to their individual needs,” says Nilesh Vedak.

The Covid-19 pandemic led to the country-wide lockdown on 25 March 2020. It will be two years tomorrow as I write this. What have we learned in this time? Maybe the meaning of resilience since small companies like us have had to rely on our resources and the forbearance of our employees as we have struggled to produce our trade platforms.

The print and packaging industries have been fortunate, although the commercial printing industry is still to recover. We have learned more about the digital transformation that affects commercial printing and packaging. Ultimately digital will help print grow in a country where we are still far behind in our paper and print consumption and where digital is a leapfrog technology that will only increase the demand for print in the foreseeable future.

Web analytics show that we now have readership in North America and Europe amongst the 90 countries where our five platforms reach. Our traffic which more than doubled in 2020, has at times gone up by another 50% in 2021. And advertising which had fallen to pieces in 2020 and 2021, has started its return since January 2022.

As the economy approaches real growth with unevenness and shortages a given, we are looking forward to the PrintPack India exhibition in Greater Noida. We are again appointed to produce the Show Daily on all five days of the show from 26 to 30 May 2022.
