Packaging group Cama has confirmed its American business will be unveiling a range of new equipment at the Pack Expo International trade show in Chicago, Illinois.

Among machinery being showcased at the event between 14-17 October will be its IF316, a compact forming, loading and closing system recently engineered for a prominent multi-national customer for the confectionery sector.

According to the company, its latest release operates through integrating a robotic twin-axis former, a loading system with a four-axis delta robot, and a closing system with a two-interpolated axis robot with a customised lidding tool.

On the company’s booth, visitors can also view the new BTG IG270 multi-delta robot loading unit. In addition, the business has also developed a robotic system solution within one monoblock loading unit integrating three Delta “Triaflex” robots.

As the business explained, its Triaflex robots are guided by an artificial vision system, which guarantees automatic recognition of the various products, according to their type.

The products are conveyed to the different robots to be loaded into either in their final package or cross-fed onto the infeed of another packaging machine.

“All Cama machines can be adapted to pack many kinds of products and can be easily integrated in a packaging line just before the palletising station, providing customers with turnkey solutions,” explained Annalisa Bellante, marketing manager at Cama.

As the company added, its BTG (Break-Through Generation) machines, mark a milestone in its research and development, aiming to raise standards in packaging automation.

The new BTG systems have been developed to help define a new standard for delivering secondary packaging into paperboard or corrugated carton or case. This includes focusing on enhanced hygienic design, cabinet free technology, flexible modules configuration, ergonomic features, user-friendly controls, easy size changing and improved safety levels.

The company’s North American division, Cama NA, was founded in 2010, as a stand-alone company in its own right, serving the region. Visitors to Pack Expo can experience its latest equipment at Booth 2894 in the south building hall.
