How do you make packaging processes more efficient, precise and future-ready?

In a recent interview with Piepenbrock Packaging, our Hastamat experts Thomas Bornemann, Director Sales & Marketing, and Dennis Feldbusch, Area Sales Manager, share their insights into modern weighing and packaging automation.

Here are four key questions and answers from the conversation:

1. What should manufacturers consider when planning a new packaging line?

Every successful solution starts with understanding the product and its packaging requirements. Product shape, orientation, filling weight and packaging format all play a crucial role. A fully integrated line ensures that feeding, weighing, transfer and packaging processes work together seamlessly.

2. How can manufacturers reduce product giveaway while maintaining high weighing accuracy?

Precision is key. Hastamat multihead weighers combine individual product portions to achieve the required target weight with minimal overfilling. Depending on the application, the average giveaway can be reduced significantly – helping manufacturers save valuable product and costs.

3. How flexible are Hastamat weighing and packaging solutions when handling different products?

Flexibility is essential in modern production. Our systems can handle a wide range of products, including challenging and sticky applications. With quick, tool-less changeovers and versatile weighing and transfer solutions, manufacturers can adapt efficiently to changing production requirements.

4. What role do sustainable packaging materials play in the future of packaging?

The industry is moving towards more recyclable packaging materials. Hastamat works closely with film manufacturers and has extensive experience with solutions such as PE mono-materials and paper-based materials with sealing layers. The challenge is to combine sustainability with reliable packaging performance.
