Sustainability, digitalisation, e-commerce: the packaging industry is changing. The main theme of this year's Fachpack is therefore „Transition in packaging“. At the trade fair, Gerhard Schubert GmbH will be demonstrating the solutions it has in store for the current challenges.
Among other things, the Crailsheim-based company will be presenting its new Mission Blue sustainability programme. Visitors will also be able to a flexible tray packer and the Partbox, The new 3D printer developed by Schubert Additive Solutions.
As a family business, Schubert always thinks about the next generations. Sustainability is therefore firmly anchored in the corporate culture. Aware of the challenges for an intact environment, Schubert has With the Mission Blue sustainability programme, we have now defined four areas of action in which specific measures are being implemented or continuedsustainable corporate management, climate-neutral production, environmentally friendly machines and services as well as sustainable packaging.
With the Mission Blue one of the company's goals is to become climate neutral. In addition to our own ambition Schubert is increasingly helping its customers to produce more sustainably, and therefore develops future-proof packaging solutions with and for its customers. One focus, for example, is on innovative packaging development for more environmentally friendly materials or resource-saving cuts. With the flexibility and sophisticated robot technology of its packaging machines, Schubert creates the basis for sustainable packaging.
Flexible customer machine packs hamburgers in cardboard trays
At Fachpack, Schubert will be demonstrating how robotics enables greater flexibility with a tray packer. The customer's machine packs hamburgers that are in a transparent pack into cardboard trays with a separate lid. The machine can pack products in three different packaging variants, from 4-count to 16-count packaging. In future, up to 14 different packaging formats will be available. The flexible combination of single and multiple packaging creates different packing schemes. Single trays can be glued side by side or stacked to form a double tray. In addition, a completeness check ensures that only complete trays filled with flawless products are sealed.
As is now the case in every Schubert machine The two F4 pick-and-place robots of the tray packer are also equipped with format printing parts. The F4 picker tool for translating the products and the cover moulds each contain 3D printed parts that the customer can call up as a print job via the Partbox streaming platform and print with the new Partbox printer from Schubert can produce themselves.
Partbox: the new 3D printer
After a successful premiere at Anuga FoodTec in Cologne, the Schubert Additive Solutions team is now looking forward to presenting the Partbox in Nuremberg. The Partbox is a 3D printer that enables manufacturers to produce components with the fastest possible availability directly on their own premises. This means that defective parts can be replaced quickly and new formats for modified products can be produced in-house.
Schubert delivers with the plastic Partobx Black also the right printing material with. This is food-safe and also has good mechanical properties and high temperature resistance. The high print quality is guaranteed by precise components and accurate dosing of the filament.
