01 Sep 2022 --- Syntegon is gearing up to present a new solution for handling and portioning cookies and crackers at this year’s Pack Expo in Chicago, US. The company’s Intelligent Direct Handling (IDH) is based on a newly developed picker technology using linear motors. The flexible pick-and-place machine is designed to ensure gentle product handling and offer a compact design along with high output and the option of different loading products, both flat and on-edge. The linear motor bar forms the heart of the new machine, says Philipp Kathan, lead engineer IDH at Syntegon.
