Modern Packaging Concept for Chocolate Bars

Format change detection with RFID The quality requirements of globally leading manufacturers of premium chocolate include not only raw materials and manufacturing processes, but also product packaging. Perfectly packaged chocolate bars without a single defect are a must. Frequent format changeovers are a particular challenge. LoeschPack has met this challenge elegantly with their newest version of the two-stage version of the LTM-DUO fold wrapping machine. This relies on format changeover parts with a fixed stop and proven Balluff RFID for automatic interchangeable part detection. The benefits are passed to the user, who profits from extremely short setup times and significantly improved machine flexibility in format changeover. Christoph Krombholz, Marketing Manager at LoeschPack, says: „The packaging machine doesn‘t start until all the components are in their correct location. This makes misplacements virtually impossible.“ Dr. Detlef Zienert, Press Relations Manager, Balluff

Automation specialist Balluff presents the plans for its new extended company headquarters in Neuhausen. Construction start is planned for 2019. The new campus will provide jobs for 1250 employees. Since its foundation almost a century ago, the automation specialist, Balluff has been based in Neuhausen. Due to company growth it was already clear in 2013 that the headquarters would soon be stretched to the limits. The initial idea was to extend the premises on Schurwaldstraße with a focus on logistics and office space. However, since 2015 the emphasis has shifted to the long-term development of the Balluff headquarters. The company decided on an architecture competition to acquire a diverse selection of sustainable and viable solution proposals. From the call issue in August 2017 it took just four months to reach a decision.
