Retrofit package for Ek1 packaging system
In industries where legacy packaging equipment is still in operation, challenges such as outmoded technology and increased downtime frequently arise. Modernization can help extend the lifecycle of these systems, improve efficiency, and ensure compatibility with current packaging materials.
Enhance performance and efficiency
The EK1 packaging system retrofit package from Theegarten-Pactec offers mechanical, electrical, and optical updates to older EK1 units, originally built in the 1980s and 90s. This upgrade package allows these systems to keep working reliably by increasing output and ensuring compatibility with contemporary materials such as modern films and paper-based packaging. The package focuses on enhancing the system’s throughput to 1,400 wrapped products per minute and supports double twist wrapping for products like deposited chocolate, hard candies with or without center-filling, éclairs, and toffees. By breathing new life into existing equipment, this retrofit minimizes investment costs while boosting operational efficiency.
