Theegarten-Pactec pleased with interpack outcome

Dresden. At interpack, Theegarten-Pactec showed a brand-new innovative wrapping feature for its CWM packaging machine, the diagonal envelope folding station. This technical improvement was completed immediately before the opening of the show thus replacing the originally intended presentation of bunch wrapping of nougat bars. In total, this packaging machine is now capable of processing small chocolate products with six different folding variations. The sales team was pleased with the high percentage of first class visitors, most of them with an international background. Aside from Western Europe, trade visitors from Brazil, Russia, Ukraine India and China as well as from the Americas, Africa and Japan requested specific information. Added to that, several orders were also placed directly at the fair.

Director Markus Rustler is very satisfied and not only because of the contacts made. “The interpack show is very important regarding communication with our customers. Due to the visitors’ profile we were able to show our portfolio with all its facets. We could prove that we are on the right track to offer an entire selection of packaging types and performance variations.”

The MCH wrapping machine, which excited the visitors, will now become the new benchmark for the packaging of jelly products in double-twist wrapping as it can wrap up to 1,000 pieces per minute. This is more than 60 per cent above the average that other machines of this type on the market can reach. Many visitors at the stand were also interested in learning more about the new service: the retrofitting of packaging machines with the goal of improving the performance of older machines. The company showed an EK1 packaging machine used to wrap hard boiled candies in double twist as an example of what can be achieved by way of a general overhaul. “The EK1 launched in 1981was a very successful machine (more than 1.000 machines were build) and is still in operation all over the world. We are expecting some retrofitting requests in the next few months. To us, retrofitting is a long-term service for our customers", explained the company marketing manager Steffen Hamelmann.
