Bij de blisterverpakkingsmachine van IWK is duurzaamheid niet alleen lippendienst: met recyclebaar verpakkingsmateriaal, laag energieverbruik, hoge snelheid en ergonomie bewijst het CABLIblue 870 kaart-naar-kaart blistersysteem een echte trendsetter te zijn. Het gebruik van elektrische automatiseringstechnologie van Festo verhoogt de duurzaamheid en efficiëntie in deze toepassing enorm.

Ergonomics improves efficiency thanks to a servo-pneumatic balancer that enables employees in assembly and logistics to lift and move loads effortlessly, using just two fingers. At the heart of the balancer is the powerful and reliable drive solution YHBP from Festo with automatic weight detection and safety Performance Level d – perfect for the automotive and packaging industries.

Soaring energy prices and the need to continuously drive down costs are key considerations for manufacturers. So, when packaging machinery specialist Cerulean decided to redesign its highly successful FPS-1 tube packer, high energy efficiency and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) became key design requirements.

Standardisation is a recipe for success for a fruitful collaboration between packaging machine manufacturers and automation specialists. The strategic partnership between Syntegon and Festo is a great example of this. Thanks to this cooperation, Syntegon was able to simplify its processes and manage the challenges posed by the pandemic and the supply chain crisis more effectively.
