At Interpack, Syntegon is showcasing its new Intelligent Direct Handling system available in Australia from Nupac.
from the process belt and placed into trays or the infeed of the downstream flow wrapping machine either on-edge or flat. This allowed us to omit long belts with chicanes and make the sys- tem design even more flexible,” explains Daniel Bossel, product manager at Syntegon.
The space-saving design not only minimises conveying distances, but also allows for new system layouts traditionally used in bar production. Despite its compact dimensions, the IDH achieves a maximum output rate of
up to 800 products per minute – combined with its low reject rate and short downtimes, this ensures high overall equipment effectiveness. To see the IDH system demonstrating the future of pick-and-place technology at Interpack, visit Syntegon and local partner Nupac in

NUPAC, SYNTEGON’S LOCAL agent, will join the company at the event with managing director Peter Pontikis
encouraging local Australian companies to “reach out for a tour of the stand, with introductions to the experts and an over- view of the exciting new IDH system”.
Syntegon says its IDH (Intelligent Direct Handling) system is set to be one of the highlights of its stand, featuring pick-and-place technology designed to handle and portion cookies and crack- ers with maximum efficiency and minimal footprint.

the products. Syntegon says this pro- vides gentle product handling and high output, allowing for loading of different products in both flat and on-edge posi- tions. The number of vacuum pickers can also be adjusted, depending on the respective product and production vol- ume, providing product and pack style flexibility.
“With the IDH, we are launching a compact and flexible solution that offers manufacturers a variety
of options for packag- ing different product shapes and sizes. Cookies and crack- ers are picked directly
