To be able to pack products into flowpacks more efficiently, more gently and more space-savingly, Schubert developed a unique machine concept with its Flowpacker. The TLM system combines the previously separate packaging functions of pick and place and flow-wrapping in a compact overall system without interfaces. This flow-wrapping machine saves up to 70 per cent of floor space compared to conventional bagging machines and is ideal for high packaging output. La Petite Bretonne also uses the lightline Flowpacker variant from Schubert’s lightline machine series. The range consists of three preconfigured, compact and highly efficient packaging systems, which allow for quick planning and installation at attractive acquisition costs.
Gentle packaging of sensitive products
Among other products, the flow-wrapping machine packs filled Danish pastry (Danoise) and chocolate-filled croissants (Chocolatines) in different sizes on one line. Thanks to the T4 robots, which pick up each product individually, the system treats the fragile products extremely gently. Product abrasion and product breakage can therefore be avoided from the outset. Equipped with the patented heat-sealing technology – the flying cross-sealing unit in combination with ultrasonic longitudinal sealing – the flow-wrapping machine from Schubert is also capable of packaging heat-sensitive products into flowpacks. The system with the integrated flow-wrapping unit operates fully automatically and offers a high degree of flexibility – also for future products or other packaging formats. A very significant benefit of the integrated solution lies in its cost-effectiveness: La Petite Bretonne is able to increase output, efficiency and process quality, meet the shortage of skilled personnel while being ideally prepared to meet future requirements.
