(Commonwealth) _ At LogiMAT, Hugo Beck is asserting its dominance as a leading innovator in horizontal film and paper packaging solutions through the unveiling of three groundbreaking machines at Booth 4F66 in Hall 4. This strategic move reinforces the company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of packaging technology. LogiMAT, recognized as Europe’s largest intralogistics exhibition, serves as the ideal stage for Hugo Beck to demonstrate its expertise in addressing industry-specific requirements with state-of-the-art, fully automatic film and paper packaging machinery .The three showcased machines have been meticulously designed to accommodate various business scales and product types, collectively underlining Hugo Beck’s exceptional capabilities in delivering packaging solutions that are not only fast and efficient but also sustainable. This emphasis on sustainability aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly practices within the packaging industry.
The choice of LogiMAT as the exhibition venue reflects the strategic importance of this event, allowing Hugo Beck to engage with a diverse audience of industry professionals, stakeholders, and potential clients. The Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre in Germany provides an optimal setting for the unveiling of these groundbreaking machines, signaling Hugo Beck’s commitment to remaining at the forefront of technological advancements in packaging. Hugo Beck’s participation in LogiMAT 2024 signifies more than a product showcase; it symbolizes the company’s dedication to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in the dynamic field of horizontal film and paper packaging solutions. As the industry evolves, Hugo Beck continues to position itself as a reliable and forward-thinking partner for businesses seeking cutting-edge packaging technologies.
One of the highlights on display is the flexo 700 e-com, Hugo Beck’s entry-level model designed for e-commerce, mail order, and logistics. This machine excels in automatically adjusting film bags to match the product’s length and width, producing precisely fitted shipping bags with minimal material usage. The flexo 700 e-com is versatile, handling the direct dispatch of individual goods, packing groups of products, and addressing the intricate requirements of returned goods packaging. It accommodates various film types with different thicknesses, including recycled content films and recyclable mono-material films. Noteworthy features include the ability to add easy-opening perforations to the bags and insert double-sided adhesive tape for resealing—a valuable asset for handling returns seamlessly. In addition to the flexo 700 e-com, Hugo Beck introduces the paper packaging machine paper X e-com to LogiMAT audiences. This machine is recognized for its continuous packaging process, maximizing efficiency by eliminating downtime during sealing or gluing. The paper X e-com handles both uncoated and coated paper for e-commerce packaging applications, allowing for the use of sustainable packaging materials while customizing shipping bags to varying product lengths.
Another exciting debut on the Hugo Beck booth is the servo X 800, a form fill and seal machine that sets new standards in the horizontal large-format sector. Boasting maximum modularity and flexibility, the servo X 800 ensures the efficient packaging of large items such as trays, multipack items, boxes, or even car tires for quick, secure transportation. Its capabilities extend to handling thick film types down to ultra-thin films, providing extremely tight-fitting and precise packaging that can save up to 15% in film usage. Timo Kollmann, Managing Director at Hugo Beck, expressed his enthusiasm about the LogiMAT 2024 debut, stating, “The introduction of three previously unseen machines underscores Hugo Beck’s commitment to more automation and solutions addressing the diverse needs of businesses in the e-commerce, mail order, and logistics sectors. Each machine empowers our customers with a competitive edge in their packaging processes, delivering efficiency, sustainability, and flexibility.” Hugo Beck extends a warm invitation to LogiMAT attendees to visit Booth 4F66 in Hall 4, where live demonstrations of these innovative packaging solutions will showcase the company’s dedication to advancing automation and meeting the evolving demands of the industry.
