LoeschPack unveils new products at interpack 2017
World premières, system solutions and “ChoConnect”(Altendorf/Düsseldorf, 10/03/2017) Loesch Verpackungstechnik will be attending interpack 2017 in Düsseldorf with a wide range of new machines. On stand A41 in hall 15 at the leading industry fair, the Franconian machinery engineering company will be presenting the world première of its RCB-HS for packaging small chocolate products. LoeschPack will also be showing the new LOOP-GB gondola storage system and the FCB high-performance platform for packaging chocolate, biscuits and chewing gum. Completing this system is the new CMT high-performance cartoning machine. The system supplier is also presenting new developments relating to Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things.
At interpack 2017 LoeschPack is presenting the world
debut of its RCB-HS. This innovative development is
ideal for small chocolate products, combining a
hermetically sealed pack style with a traditional fold wrap
look. “Unique in this segment,” says Olaf Piepenbrock of
the latest product developed by LoeschPack. The
managing partner of parent company Piepenbrock adds:
“The RCB-HS offers a new and innovative way to pack
chocolate bars, tablets and neapolitans in a premium
look, at the same time ensuring excellent product
protection from environmental influences.” Consumers
can enjoy products with longer shelf lives and improved
taste and texture. The chocolate products are presented
in a superior fold wrap look. “With excellent performance
of up to 600 products a minute, the RCB-HS in this
combination is unique in the chocolate sector,” says
Piepenbrock. The machine produces the fold wrap in one
wrapping head and hot-seals the pack circumferentially.

The heat bars always seal film against film, ensuring
extremely tight packaging and preventing any damage to
the products. Folding elements then produce the
traditional fold wrap. “The conscious decision to dispense
with any use of glue to seal the pack reduces soiling of
the machine, minimises running costs and simplifies
machine operation,” explains Piepenbrock.
Full expertise in one system: LOOP-GB, FCB and CMTLoeschPack is presenting its new LOOP-GB gondola
storage system, the high-performance FCB platform and
the new top loading cartoning machine in a complex
system. The LOOP-GB (gondola buffer) storage system
is suitable for a huge range of pre-packed or unpacked
products and features a large and variable size range. It
guarantees gentle product handling by reducing gondola
vibration and consistently helping to prevent mechanical
forces act on the product. “Our new gondola storage
system harmonises incoming product flows depending on
positioning in the feed and distribution system, and
adjusts them as required,” says Olaf Piepenbrock. This
counterbalances output fluctuations in the downstream
packaging area, enables brief temporary holding of
products and prevents the packaging machines from
overflowing. “The LOOP-GB can also be used to feed
packaging machines directly or interlink various levels
within a production facility,” says Piepenbrock, naming
some further possible uses. By uncoupling the dosing
unit and the packaging machine, the overall line
performance and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
are considerably increased compared to a coupled
process. “The LOOP-GB’s feed and discharge rate of up
to 160 rows a minute represents world-class performance
in the industry. Our buffer is also extremely flexible –
depending on the task, one, two or three outputs are
possible,” says Piepenbrock.

The “F-Series” for ultimate flow wrapping performanceThe high-performance F-Series platform for packaging
chocolate, biscuits and chewing gum in flow wrap is
another of LoeschPack’s exhibits at interpack 2017. “Our
F-Series flow wrapping system solutions are a byword for
top performance, outstanding, overall equipment
effectiveness and excellent size flexibility combined with
low packaging costs,” says Piepenbrock. Short size
changeover times make the F-Series a compelling
proposition for customers. Every setting can be precisely
reproduced, guaranteeing stable machine operation and
optimum performance after only a very short time.
Piepenbrock points to another benefit: “Intelligent process
engineering for the seal modules means fewer rejects
when stopping and starting the packaging machine.” This
makes the F-Series more resistant to varying ambient
conditions. In addition, the new product line features ideal
hygiene characteristics, meaning fewer interruptions for
cleaning. Simple and time-saving cleaning, together with
outstanding maintenance accessibility, further increase
the efficiency of the flow wrapping machines. “Alongside
traditional fold wrapping machinery, the F-Series is easy
to integrate in a system with storage, feeder, secondary
and end-of-line packaging from LoeschPack,” says
Piepenbrock. A newly developed transformation wheel for
transferring pre-packed items to LoeschPack secondary
packaging equipment serves as an additional system
component in the field of high-performance feeding. Up to
1,500 items a minute can be picked, adjusted in their
horizontal alignment for discharge and set down again.
That facilitates faster and more efficient feeding of the
downstream machinery.
CMT: a byword for top performance when packing in cartonsThe new CMT (Cartoner for Multipacks Toploading) high-
performance cartoning machine from LoeschPack
3/8
combines excellent flexibility with maximised
performance in a highly compact design. The completely
new, modular top loading cartoning system offers
customers ideal layout freedom during integration in their
peripheral plant equipment. With suitable products, the
new platform can handle up to 1,500 products a minute
during infeed. The CMT then generates a range of pack
formations with an output of up to 150 cartons a minute.
“In this high-end segment, the system ideally
complements the high-performance primary fold and flow
wrapping packaging machines in the LoeschPack
portfolio, as our new product reliably handles both
accumulable and non-accumulable products,” says Olaf
Piepenbrock. In the platform layout, modules decoupled
via an electromagnetic shuttle system enable a huge
range of machine versions. The main segments of
“erecting carton”, “filling”, “sealing lid” and “carton
discharge” apply a modular concept and are supported
by a flexible base frame. Each shuttle can be separately
controlled and – depending on the behaviour of the other
shuttles – precisely positioned. The CMT can easily
handle traditional layouts such as “in-line”, “90°” or
“counterflow”. “Considerable freedom is enabled in terms
of the operating side, the position of the carton magazine
and the feed layout. This layout flexibility is the platform’s
outstanding strength in this market segment,” says
Piepenbrock. The new cartoning machine can thus be
ideally integrated within customers’ packaging and
logistics process as well as existing systems.
“ChoConnect” contributing to Industry 4.0
When it comes to Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things
(IoT), LoeschPack offers its customers a wide range of
options. As a member of the “ChoConnect” cooperation
network, the company also helps to point the way ahead.
Numerous equipment options for machinery made at the
innovative Franconian company have already been
reflecting aspects subsumed under the term Industry 4.0
4/8
for many years. One example is a remote maintenance
module that allows LoeschPack to analyse machine
states directly in the customer’s production facilities and
use the information gained to make recommendations for
action. The application makes it possible to install new
firmware in the machinery without a programmer needing
to be present. At interpack 2017 in Düsseldorf, the
special-purpose machinery engineer will for the first time
be presenting a method of interlinking several machines
made by different manufacturers within a single
production line. To this end, LoeschPack, Rexroth,
Winkler und Dünnebier, Theegarten-Pactec and Sollich
have come together to form a strategic partnership called
“ChoConnect” and define a common standard. “This
process is not only about sharing ready signals and
coordinating interfaces in the machines, but represents
the wide-ranging and intelligent networking of individual
production stages,” says Piepenbrock. Starting with
automatic recipe transfer and the transmission of
machine states or performance variables, a form of
“virtual production” will be shown at interpack 2017 and
can be viewed at the stands of all the participating
companies. “We are jointly working on a ‘responsive
production line’ that, as required and depending on the
machine states in the overall line combination,
automatically adjusts its output at the separate production
stages,” adds Piepenbrock. “On this scale, the alliance’s
approach is unique within the industry and will set a clear
benchmark.”
Frequent batch changes are a further aspect of modern
confectionery production, requiring fast, reliable and
reproducible format changeovers. Based on RFID
technology, LoeschPack is presenting a solution for
reliable detection and control of its size components. With
this application, the operator is assisted when changing
sizes, as the machine automatically checks whether all
size components are fitted and correct. Only once all
steps have been correctly completed and match the
5/8
intended size does the machine commence operation.
This produces a noticeable reduction in production time
losses and further increases the efficiency of the
machinery and systems. The beneficiary of these
innovative technologies is the market leader for bar
packaging, the LTM-DUO. The latest generation of the
flexible fold wrapping machine packs up to 215 bars of
chocolate a minute in a primary wrap, with a carton label
outer wrap.
Gum Information Center (GIC)LoeschPack is rounding off its showing at interpack 2017
with an extensive presentation on all aspects of chewing
gum. Technical animations, videos and a multitude of
fascinating product samples exemplifying many different
packaging solutions will be shown. Visitors will be able to
find out about the automation solutions for feeding
chewing gum slabs into high-performance packaging
machines. The LoeschPack stand team will provide
information on the new LOGAMAT-S wrapping head
machine for traditional chewing gum sticks as an
economical variant in the high-performance range of up
to 1,500 sticks a minute. The machine first packs the
sticks individually in paper-backed aluminium film. Five
pre-packed sticks are held together with band wrap and
then packed in the sales packaging. The company will
also be telling visitors about its innovative chewing gum
packaging and systems solutions for wrapping, boxing
and sealing multipacks in cellophane.
