Controlpack at the Biennial Exhibition of Tools and Machines

The SMART bagging machine and VCI2000 plastics, star products

Controlpack remains committed to being at the forefront of the packaging industry and did not want to miss one of the major international events in the sector: the Biennial Exhibition of Tools and Machinery in Bilbao. In the 6 pavilions set up at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, the main manufacturers and distributors of machinery and materials that form part of the logistics chain came together, making this meeting a showcase of high industrial and technological level where the latest developments, technologies and services of the leading companies in their specialty could be shown. In this sense, the Biennial has consolidated its position as an excellent platform for external projection and consolidation of technological advances and developments.

The company based in La Sénia (Tarragona) attended the event with a wide range of packaging, filling, bagging and corrosion protection systems, reaffirming its commitment to remain at the forefront of research and innovation in technological processes in the sector, both in materials and machinery.

The Smart bagging machine was one of the most popular innovations among visitors to the stand. Smart intelligently bags the products, keeping them positioned with the opening, so as to facilitate the filling operation, which can be automatic, semi-automatic or manual. The Smart packaging bag is very versatile, reliable and easy to use and can pack products of different weights and sizes: machining of spare parts, plumbing fittings, metal fittings for furniture, pharmaceuticals, dry food and much more. This is a technology that undoubtedly means greater savings in production and distribution costs, and allows high levels of reliability and safety in the packaging process in general and in bagging in particular.

On the other hand, Controlpack, which is the official distributor of VCI2000 in Spain, attended the event with a wide range of anticorrosive plastics. VCI plastics protect metal surfaces by forming a protective molecular layer, preventing moisture, salt, dirt, oxygen and other corrosive materials from damaging the material. Once removed from the container, the part does not require treatment to remove this layer as it evaporates and disperses into the air without presenting any danger to people or living beings. VCI technology is environmentally friendly, eliminates the need to use oils and greases to prevent corrosion and consequently avoids the toxic residues they cause.

In terms of filling systems, the two machines that are currently achieving the best acceptance in the market were presented. On the one hand, the Padpak filling system, which offers effective protection for relatively light products with a high production speed. This system, based on a single sheet of paper, offers a multitude of ways of handling thanks to its innovative design, which includes an integrated microprocessor and the possibility of working with one or two pedals. Moreover, FillPak offers unlimited possibilities as part of the packaging process, in fully automatic or manual mode, resulting in cost reductions. This innovative system optimizes the amount of material used for packaging filler without burdening your customers with difficult to dispose of and environmentally harmful quantities of material. Equipped with an ingenious paper feeding system and a sophisticated design, the required operating space is minimal and can be integrated into the packaging line in any way the customer wishes.

In addition to this wide range of packaging and protection solutions, a new pallet banding system was on display, which attracted the attention of many visitors. The Compacta 620 orbital stretch wrapper with spiral stretch film allows banding systems to work with a wide variety of products of different sizes and shapes (wood, metal profiles, plastics, textiles). It has a simple handling system with different wrapping cycles adjustable to each product. In this way, the operator only has to position the product and press the foot pedal to start the cycle. Banding, film hooking and cutting are fully automatic operations.

Thus, Controlpack confirmed once again its presence in this reference event with a wide range of machinery for all types of packaging applications, always seeking to be at the forefront of intelligent packaging: 100% innovative, sustainable and environmentally friendly.
