Bosch Launches Online Platform to Optimize
Package Choice Digital Expertise
To address the growing market need for complete system solutions,
Bosch Packaging Technology has launched an online information
platform featuring its value- enhancing complete system solutions
for the confectionery, bakery, nuts, snacks and powder industries.
The new microsite, www.solutions4value.com, allows food and
non-food producers to find an optimal system solution for their
specific application. In addition, the 'Insights' section provides
expert opinions on the common challenges faced by producers when
selecting and running packaging equipment.
"Our goal is to help customers navigate the complex world of
packaging solutions," says Leon van de Wiel, general manager at
Bosch Packaging Technology in Weert (Netherlands). "To achieve
this, we built upon our decades of experience and developed
standardized system solutions to add value to confectionery, bakery,
snacks and powder operations. The new microsite allows producers
to easily review their options and identify an ideal solution, while
also benefiting from a single point of contact during the quotation,
planning and installation phases."
To address customer demands for enhanced shelf appeal, system
versatility or high speed, Bosch now offers three standardized system
solutions for nuts and confectionery manufacturers:
*	 For producers looking for shelf differentiation, the system
solution with Doy Zip and corner seal bag styles in shelf-ready
and wrap-around cases offers a unique billboard-like effect,
attracting consumers at point-of-sale.
*	 For those producers that require maximum flexibility with
their bag and case styles, the flexible system solution offers nine
bag styles - from pillow to Doy Zip - on a single solution with
various case styles to choose from in both lay-flat and stand-up
orientation - all of this at speeds of up to 30 cases per minute.
*	 If boosting your production speeds is your primary objective,
then the efficient system solution is also able to pack up to 500
pillow bags per minute, which are accurately positioned in up to
25 cases by the system's vision-guided robot.

Not all powders have the same requirements. While baking powder
requires efficient and reliable handling, infant nutrition demands
the highest hygiene level available in the packaging world. It's this
knowledge and experience that has led Bosch to create two system
solutions to meet different demands within the industry:
*	 Bosch's entry-level system solution allows producers starting
out in automation, or those increasing automation, to test new
markets quickly and efficiently. Featuring the same technology
used on high-end solutions, it offers a high level of efficiency
and reliability with production speeds of up to 150 cartons per
minute.
*	 For producers looking for the optimum hygienic system to meet
increasing food safety standards, the hygienic packaging solution
features stainless-steel surfaces, no hollow bodies, an open-frame
and an easy-to-clean design for powders, such as infant nutrition
products among others. The system is capable of packing up to
160 hermetically sealed bags, in up to 160 cartons per minute, in
up to 18 cases per minute. Choose between shipping cases with,
or without, perforation and a wrap-around case with, or without
a hood.
Kliklok-Woodman, acquired by Bosch in 2015, expands the company's
offerings for snack producers with its cost-effective system solutions.
*	 For potato chip producers, Bosch is offering Woodman's
legendary reliability system solution, which is specifically
configured for the efficient packing of salted snacks, such as
potato chips and tortillas. With integrated product stripping,
settling and poking, seal integrity of the pack is guaranteed -
even at high speeds of up to 240 bags per minute.
*	 For producers of more vulnerable snacks, such as cookies and
crackers, Bosch has created its system solution, designed for
gentle handling of products - even at high speeds. The system is
capable of packing up to 200 bags per minute and 150 cartons.
