MBM innovations will be turning vacuum packaging into a real experience at the FachPack trade fair in Nuremberg this year with the innovative and newly launched VSM® BULKY taking centre stage. The smart all-rounder can be seen live in action vacuuming and vertically packaging various products in bags. The third-generation family-run company from Augsburg will also be providing detailed information about its outstanding portfolio of fully and semi-automatic VSM packaging machines and customised solutions for a wide range of industries.
Whether food, cannabis, pet food, electrical products or pharmaceutical items – the vertical packaging machine in hygienic design is a resilient component in the production process. It packs a wide variety of products efficiently, safely and sustainably in a vacuum or modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) directly into transport boxes, E2 crates, drums or cartons. Typical areas of application include transport and maturing packaging for meat and sausage products, ham, fish & seafood and cheese for bulk consumers and the catering trade, pouch packaging for natural casings in brine or loose packs such as soya granules, animal feed, nuts or dried fruit. However, the compact BULKY is also a first-class choice for tamper-proof transport packaging of highly sensitive products such as medical marijuana and other pharmaceutical products, as well as for secure packaging of large containers such as bulk goods, electrical components, transformers or batteries.
And thanks to its space-saving, slim design, this versatile model can be used in almost any working environment and, thanks to its castors, can be easily moved to wherever it is needed.
For trade visitors, the standard version of the newly launched BULKY will be available so they can familiarise themselves with the special VSM® vacuum system and for demonstrations. In addition to its high degree of flexibility in terms of usability, the machine is particularly impressive due to its high hygiene and safety standards as well as its simple, uncomplicated operation and maintenance.
Said Sabrina Mayer-Mai, Strategic Marketing, MBM: “Thanks to our more than 50 years of expertise in mechanical engineering and our high level of vertical integration, we at MBM can of course also realise individual special solutions as well as conveyor and transport technology – and adapt all the machines we offer to customer requirements,” who, together with her sister, represents the third generation of the family business and is responsible for Strategic Marketing.
Accordingly, the BULKY can also be configured for smaller units and up to the XL variant (bags on pallets), for example.
MBM is now represented in 17 countries. The fully and semi-automatic packaging solutions are widely used, particularly in the core food market and especially in the cheese ripening segment. However, demand in the medical goods and pharmaceutical industries is also steadily increasing:
Added Mayer-Mai: “Our high-performance models for industrial applications are coming to the fore. I’m thinking in particular of cleanroom packaging for the transport of pharmaceutical containers and primary packaging, as well as bulk and maturing packaging for tobacco or medical marijuana.”
MBM systems offer impressive energy-saving potential: for example, with the fully automatic systems for mature cheese packaging, between 36 and 50% energy can be saved in the vacuum system alone compared to various alternative packaging systems with the same output. All models can also easily process recyclable mono-materials that are suitable for the circular economy. They are also characterised by low compressed air consumption and intelligent standby times.
