In food processing, greater adaptability in packaging is required as the market continues to shift from share-size bags to single-portion packages. This change requires advanced packaging machines that provide flexible packaging materials, sizes, high speeds and lower reject rates.
However, packaging size reduction requires additional adjustment of other parts of processing technology to ensure that the packaging line can cope with the produced amounts efficiently. For this reason, food processors – particularly of snacks and other high-value products – need to invest in adaptable transfer systems that can ensure the gentle and sanitary movement of specific amounts through different production stages.
