Barry-Wehmiller packaging arm, BW Packaging Systems, will showcase multiple innovations at Pack Expo in Las Vegas from 27-29 September.

Themed ‘innovation never stops’, the company’s booth (C-1800) will feature packaging solutions from Barry-Wehmiller packaging companies Accraply, BW Flexible Systems, BW Integrated Systems, Pneumatic Scale Angelus and Synerlink.

Some innovations on display include BW Flexible Systems’ Hayssen ISB vertical form-fill-seal bagge, Pneumatic Scale Angelus’ CB50C counter-pressure integrated canning line; and Accraply’s modular upgrade for Trine roll-fed labellers.

Representatives from Synerlink and BW Integrated Systems will be on hand to discuss Snapcut, the cutting tool qualification process, and the Maximus case palletiser, respectively. In addition, BW Packaging Systems will present information on proven sustainable packaging strategies.

The booth will include a wall display on the top CPG strategies to address the global sustainability imperative, provide recommendations for manufacturers to apply these strategies; and offer directions to machines running sustainable materials on the booth.

“Despite the challenges of Covid, we have not missed a beat on our innovation journey," said Carol O-Neill, Barry-Wehmiller group president of packaging, conveying her pride at the team's perseverance.

"We’re very excited to showcase these innovations in person at Pack Expo Las Vegas," she added.
