Constantia Flexibles, a prominent player in the flexible packaging sector, is demonstrating the machine runability of its EcoLamHighPlus mono-material on Syntegon’s state-of-the-art PMX packaging platform, specifically designed for coffee packaging. Syntegon, a leader in processing and packaging technology based in Germany, showcases the capabilities of EcoLamHighPlus, which is engineered for recycling within the PE stream. This compatibility with the PMX system presents an efficient, future-ready solution for brand owners without incurring additional costs. This collaboration underscores both companies’ dedication to advancing sustainable, high-performance food and drink packaging solutions.

EcoLamHighPlus: A Sustainable Mono-Material Solution

EcoLamHighPlus is created to address the increasing demand for sustainable packaging materials while ensuring that packaging processes remain efficient and flexible for future needs. As a mono-material based on polyethylene (PE), EcoLamHighPlus boasts excellent recyclability and has received full approval from RecyClass.

In addition to its environmental benefits, EcoLamHighPlus excels in performance: it provides outstanding protection for sensitive products like coffee, preserving flavor and aroma while minimizing environmental impact.

Seamless Integration with Syntegon’s PMX Platform

Syntegon’s PMX platform is at the forefront of packaging innovation, emphasizing flexibility, sustainability, and digital transformation. This modular packaging solution effectively handles both conventional and recyclable materials, including mono-materials such as Constantia Flexibles’ EcoLamHighPlus, without the need for extra modifications or investments. The PMX machine efficiently processes up to 65 packages per minute for whole coffee beans, with a double tube option capable of reaching up to 100 packages per minute.

“Currently, many manufacturers are actively seeking sustainable packaging solutions to comply with upcoming regulations like the PPWR while maintaining high-quality standards. The PMX platform, combined with materials like EcoLamHighPlus, offers an ideal solution,” says Christina Holm, Strategic Product Manager at Syntegon.

This versatile PMX machine can package both ground coffee and whole beans. Thanks to quick format changeovers and various bag styles, it accommodates an extensive range of packaging formats. Its modular design enables manufacturers to meet specific customer requirements while achieving efficient output and responding swiftly to changing market demands. “Coffee is a popular product whose quality must be protected. Our goal was to develop an efficient packaging machine that offers manufacturers enough flexibility for future changes and meets sustainability requirements,” added Christina Holm.

Innovative Digital Solutions for Enhanced Efficiency

Beyond sustainability features, the PMX platform integrates Syntegon’s Synexio Empower, an Industry 4.0 (I4.0) solution that enables real-time monitoring of energy and resource consumption. Through condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, manufacturers can enhance their overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), minimize downtime, and boost plant efficiency, thus driving cost savings and reinforcing sustainability efforts.

“Our partnership with Syntegon reinforces our commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Tobias Acker, Market Product Manager Beverages DACH & Benelux – Film & Paper Category at Constantia Flexibles. “With our EcoLam product family, customers have access to a flexible, designed-for-recycling, high-performance packaging solution that seamlessly integrates with state-of-the-art technologies like the PMX platform.”
