Confectionery manufacturers are increasingly seeking sustainable food and drink packaging solutions. At ProSweets 2024, Gerhard Schubert GmbH will showcase their robot technology and consulting services that support confectionery manufacturers in achieving efficient and sustainable packaging processes.
The issue of sustainability is a critical consideration for confectionery manufacturers, and Gerhard Schubert GmbH is addressing this challenge by providing environmentally conscious packaging solutions. With the Mission Blue Sustainability Initiative, the company has set clear goals and developed measures to promote sustainability. Their Packaging Perspectives services offer comprehensive advice on material selection and packaging design that is machine-compatible and eco-friendly.
Schubert’s packaging machines are designed to process both conventional and fully recyclable packaging, showcasing their commitment to sustainable packaging. The company’s innovative packaging machines, such as the Flowpacker with Box Motion sealing technology, prioritize sustainability by enabling cross-sealing using ultrasound, ideal for recyclable flowpacks made from monofilms or paper-based films.”Martin Sauter, Head of Sales at Schubert, states, “We continuously improve our innovative packaging machines, especially in terms of sustainability.”
Optimizing packaging sizes is another key focus for reducing material usage. Schubert’s pick & place robots play a crucial role in achieving smaller packaging sizes without compromising on quality. These robots ensure precise placement of confectionery into trays, cartons, or thermoformed packaging while also serving as a quality control for the products before packaging.
Gerhard Schubert GmbH also innovates environmentally friendly packaging processes, like the glue-free Dotlock technology and a cardboard-monofilm hybrid solution that minimizes plastic usage. These solutions offer sustainable alternatives for food and drink packaging, reflecting the company’s commitment to eco-friendly practices.
