Unique configurable suction cup concept
The piGRIP is a unique configurable suction cup concept with
individually optimized parts for gripping, lifting and height
compensation. Packaging small bags in cartons is the specialty
of Piab’s piGRIP suction cups that have specifically soft lips to
hold on to the changing surface of a bag. They allow secure
and quick moves to enable fast automated processes.
Piab’s vacuum generation technology COAX minimizes energy
consumption, while offering a secure and fast grip due to
its high initial vacuum flow. COAX ejectors are up to twice as
fast as other ejectors and deliver three times more flow than
a conventional vacuum ejector with identical air consumption.
The pump unit can deliver high performance even with low
or fluctuating supply pressure. This was proven in independent
comparison tests at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine
Tools and Forming Technology IWU in Dresden. These tests
have shown that the Piab ejectors require significantly lower
compressed air to achieve the same output compared to ejectors
from other manufacturers. Accordingly, their use reduces
the cost of providing compressed air and thus the total cost of
production.
Founded in 1981, CAMA’s core business is the engineering
and the production of complete high technology secondary
packaging systems for major multinational groups both
in the food and non-food markets. Digitization is part of the
company's DNA. CAMA Group produces smart and responsive
systems, ready for data analysis, which allow the realisation of
virtual Factory Acceptance Tests through video conference call
(Live FAT).

Krones
Krones, as a high-tech company, has signed up to the European
Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform. The supplier
promises a substantial contribution towards turning the
vision of a closed-loop recycling economy into hands-on
reality. Krones entered into a self-imposed commitment to
the following eight targets:
rPET compatibility, plastic-free secondary packaging,
support for recyclable packaging design, changing over
from linear production to circular economy, permanently
attached closures,
sustainable labelling,
investing in recycling,
beyond PET packaging
(packaging-free solutions,
paper bottle).
