Flexible and compact: KHS presents new InnoDry Block at interpack 2017
At interpack in Düsseldorf, Germany, the KHS Group will have compact and flexible systems on display. With its integrated buffer system the newly developed KHS InnoDry Block permits accumulation-free, gentle pack conveying without the side guides otherwise required. This does away with the need for adjustment during format changeovers. The systems supplier from Dortmund will also be highlighting its new features in secondary packaging. To this end, at the trade show KHS Service will be presenting special conversions and its new service concept for packaging machines. Visitors can study KHS plant engineering close up on Booth A31 in Hall 13 at interpack.
Innovative packaging and palletizing systems
“Where two or more single machines can be compiled to form a compact block system, this gives operators numerous advantages”, says Karl-Heinz Klumpe, packaging product manager for KHS in Kleve. The experts at KHS have done just that for the secondary and tertiary packaging production stages. The KHS InnoDry Block combines a packaging machine with a palletizer and has a handle dispenser integrated into the packer. This setup is made possible by especially flexible buffer areas and the use of a highly dynamic handling system for layer formation which is being used in the blocked machine concept for the first time. Shorter conveying segments and, as a result, a considerable reduction in maintenance effort speak for the compact block. Format changeover times are also shorter as side guides are no longer needed on the conveying segment.
