- New high-speed count feeder celebrates European premiere at iba
- Syntegon's innovation addresses the challenges in cookie packaging
- Gentle handling minimizes waste and ensures high efficiency
Beringen (Switzerland), March 26, 2025. The iba, a leading trade fair for bakery, confectionery, and snacks, opens its doors in Düsseldorf from May 18 to 22, 2025. As a leading provider of highly automated, seamlessly integrated packaging systems, Syntegon will present a new handling solution for packaging cookies. The all-new Syntegon FGCT count feeder for cookies will celebrate its European premiere.
Minimized product losses – increased efficiency
The innovative handling solution, being presented to the European market for the first time at iba, gently groups sandwich cookies in the desired quantity and places the products on-edge in trays or directly into the infeed of a flow wrapping machine. Gentle handling, carefully balanced at high speed, guarantees an efficient packaging process and avoids product damage. Evenly aligned in the tray or flow wrap, the cookies impress with their quality and with optimal presentation when the package is opened. Visitors can experience the advantages of the count feeder for themselves during live demonstrations at the Syntegon booth in Hall 9, Stand A30.
Syntegon's all-new count feeder groups cookies particularly gently and places them in trays made of plastic or cardboard or into flow wrapper infeeds.

These products require particularly gentle processing.”
