Exciting insights into cookie, biscuit, and cracker packaging

Our white paper will guide you through the current trends in cookie packaging machines and cracker packaging and help you understand how manufactures respond to different production challenges. Varying levels of automation and customized handling and infeed solutions are only some of the strategies we focus on.

The gain of linear motors (XTS)

Due to the high degree of flexibility that is becoming increasingly important in the confectionery industry, Syntegon recognized the potential of XTS technology from Beckhoff early on. The Syntegon team in Beringen has been working with the Beckhoff experts since 2011 and was one of the first XTS customers. No other manufacturer in the packaging industry has implemented as many XTS applications as Syntegon. 

Cookies and crackers packaging machine portfolio

Crackers and plain cookies are mainly transported through the respective packaging lines in an upright position, each product standing up on its edge. On-edge solutions are generally more compact since multiple columns run alongside each other during the feeding process, offering maximum storage capacities. A key element of efficient cookie and cracker packaging operations are vibratory channels, which ensure a safe product transport for on-edge products, while ensuring a hassle-free production environment. Syntegon relies on a flexible buffering system for different biscuit shapes.
