Packaging

Sustainability is also the main challenge of the day in the packaging industry. Plastic packaging makes up a large part of our waste. That is why there is growing interest in classic packaging that is easy to recycle, such as cans, glass and cardboard.
Smart magnetic solutions automate your production line with sustainable packaging methods.

Challenges in the packaging industry

The use of recyclable packaging requires efficient processes. You want flexible, automated packaging lines that can be easily converted to other product variants.

And the rising costs of transport and logistics require a reduction of packaging volumes.

Less manpower due to automation

On a global scale, the packaging industry can only be successful with efficient packaging methods, with minimal labour costs. This can be done by automating repetitive work. Magnetic force is ideal for packaging cans, jars with steel lids and fasteners.

Reduce packaging volume through magnetic alignment

Transporting empty space is a waste. This often happens when depositing long steel products in boxes, such as nails and fasteners.

A magnetic field allows you to orient and align these products neatly. This reduces the packaging volume by at least a factor of 3.
