    Flat-on-pile cookie and cracker packaging machines

    Special care is required in the packaging process for example for cookies with a shiny chocolate coating, a brittle consistency or irregular, home-made style shapes. Syntegon offers different technology options to stack cookies, biscuits or crackers: Pick-and-Place solutions or flat handling with linear motor technology. This calls for maximum precision and efficiency. Syntegon's packaging solutions ensure careful handling of the fragile cookies, and stack them quickly and precisely in exact piles in the desired number or height.

    This prevents scratched surfaces and broken corners. Only good products will be packaged. The cookies also benefit from a uniquely attractive presentation when the packaging is opened. The ability to switch between different packaging formats – in just a few minutes – makes Syntegon solutions particularly efficient for production.

    In the following section we list a few system examples to inspire you. Of course, there are many more possibilities within the Syntegon portfolio. Get in touch with us and let’s talk about your packaging requirements.
