Snack Connection enhances efficiency with the case packer from Syntegon

Snack Connection, a leading Netherlands-based manufacturer of nuts, kernels, and seeds, has partnered with Syntegon to significantly boost its production efficiency. As global demand for snacks, particularly nuts, continues to rise, Snack Connection faced the challenge of meeting diverse regional packaging preferences while maintaining cost-effective production. To address this, they have combined the Elematic 2001 wrap-around (WA) case packer with their existing SVE 2520 DZ vertical bagger. The collaboration has allowed Snack Connection to streamline its operations and handle various packaging formats with ease, ensuring flexibility while improving overall production speed.




Increased speed and efficiency with automation
The Elematic 2001 WA has delivered impressive results, increasing packaging speeds up to 40 cases per minute, a significant increase compared to Snack Connection’s previous solution. This automation has not only sped up the case-packing process but also optimized warehouse management by reducing the required case formats, leading to lower storage costs. Additionally, the machine’s design helps minimize material usage, contributing to more sustainable production practices.




Easy and fast plug-and-play changeover
A standout feature of the Elematic 2001 WA is its plug-and-play changeover concept, which allows operators to switch between packaging formats without the need for tools. This feature significantly enhances operational flexibility, as it makes the process of changing between different packaging styles faster and easier.

Step-by-step instructions displayed on the HMI guide through each process step, and integrated sensors ensure that adjustments are made accurately. The ease of changeovers has also helped Snack Connection reduce the need for skilled labor.
