Schubert, advanced solutions for food packaging

Between 19 and 22 March 2024, Gerhard Schubert GmbH will have its own stand at Anuga FoodTec. This year’s theme is a perfect match for the packaging specialist’s philosophy and Schubert is looking forward to showcasing its innovative, sustainable food packaging solutions.

A main highlight at the stand is the TLM Comfort Feeder – a new, efficient, resource-saving solution for feeding carton blanks directly from the pallet. Schubert experts from Packaging Perspectives will also be introducing two ingenious, fully recyclable packaging concepts: Dotlock, a carton packaging without glue, and a cartonmonofilm hybrid solution, also without glue.

The TLM Comfort Feeder will be showcased live and in action at the Schubert stand. The background to the development of the highly innovative packaging solution was the observation that delays can occur in the process if the blanks magazine on the packaging system runs empty – which result in machine operators having to react quickly to prevent unnecessary stops.

With Schubert’s new TLM Comfort Feeder, this roadblock has been eliminated, as can be experienced live at the fair. All that is needed is to place the entire pallet with the blanks still in the cutting sheet into the machine. An F4 robot then pulls the blanks directly from the sheet one by one and feeds them to the erecting process in the A6 erector – at an impressive speed of 60 cycles per minute. This groundbreaking approach also offers another key advantage: The cut sheet can be optimised to ensure the greatest possible utilisation of the packaging material. This saves on material and has a positive impact on the ecological footprint. The combination of innovative sheet feeding, outstanding erecting performance along with loading and sealing offers Schubert customers an exceptionally advantageous machine concept.

Also on the topic of sustainability, Schubert has two further highlights in store for visitors to the fair: Dotlock, a technology that makes cardboard packaging entirely glue-free, and its cardboard-monofilm hybrid solution – also without glue – that significantly minimises the use of plastic.

Dotlock is based on so-called “clinching” technology used to join metals. The cardboard layers are pierced from one side with a needle, forming a collar on the other side. This is then pressed onto the cardboard, creating a very stable force & form fit. As a 100 per cent glue-free packaging solution, Dotlock is fully recyclable via the paper cycle. The new hybrid packaging consists only of cardboard and very thin monofilm, both of which are very easy to separate and therefore fully recyclable.
