End-of-line secondary and tertiary packaging technologies specialist Cama Group will showcase its multi-industry, multi-format machines at the Anuga FoodTec expo in Cologne, Germany, from 19 to 22 March 2024.
The company’s IF296 monoblock packaging machine will be on display throughout the four-day event. Combining the latest digital, servo, and robotic technologies, the machine can be tailored to the exact needs of Cama Group’s confectionary customers.
Despite its small footprint, the IF296 monoblock can process multiple packaging recipes. It comprises a tray-forming unit and loading unit, and incorporates Cama Group’s Breakthrough Generation (BTG) technology.
Cama Group outlines the machine’s operational process: “The loading unit receives cartons from two independent upstream Cama cartoners. Two robots – designed and developed by Cama to cater for the precise needs of packaging applications – are used to phase and prepare the cartons collations, which are then picked and placed into the trays in a wide variety of pre-determined arrays, depending on batch-based recipes. Machine throughput is 360 cartons/minute.”
The machine’s integrated AR functionality delivers flexibility and agility, which Cama Group says “gives operators more intimate, intuitive, and unrestricted insights into the machine’s internals, which supports efficient training, operation, batch changeover, maintenance, spares identification, and ordering.”
