After successful industrial testing, the machine was further developed and is now able to processes chocolate products at a speed of 1,800 products per minute. Its maximum flexibility is demonstrated by a quick changeover between nine different folding types.

At interpack 2023, two versions of the CHS will be presented: The first CHS demonstrates the protected twist folding type with a two-lane infeed and a speed of 1,600 products per minute. With the second CHS the packaging specialists will show how a speed of 1,200 products can be achieved with a single-lane infeed with the envelope fold wrapping style and how an effective connection to a secondary packaging machine can be achieved with a two-lane delivery of two times 600 items.

For effective secondary packaging of products, Theegarten-Pactec will be presenting the BLM – our first in-house cartoner. With the BLM perfectly adapted for connecting to all high-performance machines, small products such as bouillon tablets, chewing gums and chocolate bars can now be processed at a high speed. Visitors can witness the cartoner’s performance for themselves at interpack while it packages 40-gram chocolate bars in cartons.

At interpack, we will be presenting the FPC5, a modular high-performance packaging machine that packs chocolate bars and tablets in paper-based flow packs - using the common cold sealing process or the far more complex heat sealing process. The machine has been optimised to deliver the best results even in the high-performance range of 1,500 products respectively 90 metres packaging material speed per minute. At interpack an application with large chocolate bars packed at a speed of 600 products per minute will be demonstrated.

Among the highlights is the new CFW-S high-performance packaging machine for chocolate products in fold wrap. With the CFW-S, Theegarten-Pactec now offers confectionery manufacturers a packaging machine able to process moulded or coated chocolate products with an output of up to 800 products per minute in fold wrap, with or without bandaroles.

The machine is equipped with the innovative suction supported sealing device. This allows recyclable plastic monofoils or paper-based packaging materials to be sealed by heat sealing without damaging the product through the effects of high temperatures.

We demonstrate how sensitive jelly products for the OTC market can be packaged gently and extremely efficiently, therefore conserving energy and resources, using the FPH5. At interpack, 1,200 jelly products per minute are packaged effectively and gently in two-piece packs.

At the top of the range of high-performance machines is the EK4. It packs 2,300 hard sweets per minute using a double twist wrap. Instead of the usual wax paper or films, a paper-based alternative without wax application can also be used and processed stably despite the high speed.

The combination of a tablet press from our partner Kilian with the BCW-eco, via direct connection, demonstrates effective packaging at a speed of 750 soup tablets per minute. The common feature of the two machines, the direct connection option to the press, offers convincing advantages: It effectively prevents products from accumulating after the press. The additional energy-intensive separation of the products before packaging is no longer a necessity.
