Innovative packaging solutions for biscuits, cookies and crackers

Our on-edge handling technology optimizes the packaging process for biscuits, cookies and crackers. The products are placed on their edges and transported upright through the packaging process. The result is that product breakage is low while system efficiency is high. Vibratory channels ensure, even controlled feeding and act as a buffer.

Our technology offers you these benefits:

• Optimized use of space: The number of channels that can run side by side is flexible. This maximizes your production output and storage capacity.
• Fewer rejects: Safe upright transport means that your cookies and crackers remain intact. High quality is guaranteed.
• More efficiency: On-edge handling increases throughput, reduces floor space thanks to the compact layout and opens up many different packaging options.

Delicate treats such as chocolate-coated cookies require special care: They are often transported lying flat through the packaging process. Their structure poses a particular challenge not only during production, but also during packaging. With our flat handling solutions, cookies of all kinds can be packaged safely.

Our technology offers you these benefits:

• Hygiene: The open and accessible design is easy to clean. Our machines always fulfil the highest standards.
• Less broken goods: With our flat handling technologies, we reduce mechanical friction to a minimum so that every cookie packaged is intact.
• High flexibility: Stay flexible. Change formats at the push of a button or even from stacked piles to on-edge slugs in ten minutes. Highest levels of flexibility on one single packaging system.

With our pick & place solutions, we are setting new standards in packaging automation. You can eliminate repetitive manual tasks while increasing quality. We offer the very best technologies for packaging cookies and crackers. Choose from a wide range of gripping tools to find the most gentle solution for your product.

Our technology offers you these benefits:

• Gentle handling: Pick & place lines handle your products carefully and reduce waste to a minimum.
• Greater efficiency: We increase your production capacities thanks to constant speeds at high quality. Robotic or linear motor-based pick-and-place solutions can be scaled flexibly.
• Precision and versatility: Product changeovers can be quickly implemented on the same line and the products are placed precisely into their packaging.

This Syntegon solution is ideal for small cookies, savoury crackers or colourful wafer mixes. The free-flowing products are weighed and filled vertically into block-bottom bags, stand-up pouches, or pillow bags and then sealed airtight. Vertical handling is also ideal for packaging cookies and crackers into small portion packs for on-the-go consumption.

Vertical handling offers you these benefits:

• Optimum protection: Our technology prevents easily breakable products from crumbling and the airtight seal ensures long-lasting freshness.
• Efficiency: The continuous flow increases throughput on your production line, vertical handling reduces material consumption and improves shelf life.
• Flexibility: Different cookie and cracker sizes can be packed on a single line and product mixes are easily carried out as well.
