The gain of linear motors (XTS)

Due to the high degree of flexibility that is becoming increasingly important in the confectionery industry, Syntegon recognized the potential of XTS technology from Beckhoff early on. The Syntegon team in Beringen has been working with the Beckhoff experts since 2011 and was one of the first XTS customers. No other manufacturer in the packaging industry has implemented as many XTS applications as Syntegon.

Integrated systems

The Syntegon bar line enables gentle product handling, smooth transfers, and the easy cleaning of the machine, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency. Our bar packaging line handles all types of products, from cereal to chocolate bars at speeds of 200 to 6,000 products per minute, depending on product size and factory layout.

Distribution & infeed solutions

Advanced distribution technology and product quality go hand in hand. Our solutions include conveyors with smooth interfaces and perfectly matching side guides to place minimal mechanical load on the products. Angled surfaces and crumb trays further improve the cleanliness of your line. As an alternative to traditional infeed chains, we drive the development of innovative technologies, such as linear motors, to offer particularly gentle product handling. Format changeovers at the push of a button, compact design and gentle acceleration are further benefits of our wide portfolio.
