Packaging procedures with a high degree of complexity are often used to produce combi packs for pharmaceutical products. Infeed systems, which have to be tailored precisely to the particular components, and also integrated into the packaging line, are required for the automated infeed and loading of the various product components. This means the top priority is the precise and secure positioning of the product components, which are usually very small.

There are different packaging concepts depending on the particular product and the processing stage within the added value chain. This means that different technology and packaging materials are required, when transport or maturation packs for example are being produced, from those required for retail packs for the end consumer. In addition to the high demands placed on hygiene and functionality, one of the most important objectives of a pack is to provide extended shelf life for the product.

The new Packaging Legislation has been in force in Germany since the start of 2019. Among other things, it lays down challenging quotas for the recycling of materials and the reusability of packs. The introduction of a functioning closed-loop system for the packaging industry, as well as establishing that plastics are a reusable and therefore valuable resource, are important steps in the right direction. In parallel with this, the packaging industry is also driving forward the development of packs made from alternative materials. In addition to the introduction of a closed-loop system for plastics, the reduction in the consumption of plastics in the production of packs also represents another sensible approach to the sustainable development of the packaging industry.

The different sorts, such as Appenzeller, Edam, Gouda, Leerdammer, or Tilsiter are either packed as shingled or wafer-thin slices, which are folded and presented attractively in the pack. While also maintaining the highest hygienic standards, producers today must operate with the maximum efficiency, flexibility, weight accuracy, and yield, if they are to remain competitive in the market. But how can these requirements be met? And what in particular must be taken into account when slicing cheese?

Carrier concepts as an important building block for automation in the packaging process
Today, packaging machines in the medical and pharmaceutical industries are generally a central component of an increasingly complex system solution, which is invariably complemented by customised conveyor and infeed systems, handling modules, labellers, printing solutions and inspection systems. Automation makes it possible to have more stable, transparent, efficient and above all reliable processes throughout the line, particularly if at the same time there is an integrated transfer of all the process data. This article will shed light on the benefits that automation solutions offer, as well as the opportunities that are currently available in the area of product infeed and generally throughout the packaging process.

Digitalisation in the food industry
In many business sectors, digitalisation is already well advanced. However, the food processing industry is still in the early stages, although it is clear that digitalisation can make a major contribution to greater efficiency, process reliability, and transparency, as well as higher pack and product quality. The current situation is illustrated for us by Dr Marius Grathwohl, Vice President of Digital Products and Transformation at MULTIVAC.

Sustainable packaging concept for fish specialities
For around 280 years Bond Seafood B.V, which is based in the Dutch city of Breda, has been inspiring the domestic and European market with its traditional fish specialities. The wide range of classic products is constantly being expanded with the addition of innovative specialities such as "Holland Sushi" and "Bruschetta" smoked mackerel fillets. However it is not only in its product range but also in terms of sustainability, that the family company shows itself as an innovator with a vision. It is for this reason that, in conjunction with MULTIVAC, the company developed a sustainable packaging concept. As one of the first fish processors in the country, Bond Seafood now uses recyclable mono materials for its packs.
