Cermex (Stand 643), the packing business unit of Gebo Cermex, will unveil a new incarnation of its classic WB45 wrap-around case packer. The new machine offers an even better fit with the key market demands of flexibility, hygiene and ergonomics: new automation platform, belt drives for blank magazine and case transfer modules, servodrives and quick-release systems for faster, simpler format changeovers.

This new version adds a raft of innovative technical features, while retaining the functionality and robustness which have made the WB45 an essential feature of packing systems the world over. The company’s classic WB45 packer is an all-purpose wrap-around unit used in a broad range of industries, from food and beverages to pharmaceuticals via home and personal care.

In designing the latest evolution of this versatile packer, Cermex’s engineers retained the key features which have made the WB45 such a success – sequential technology, the capacity to handle a vast range of secondary packaging items (complete wrap-around blanks, trays, shelf-ready packaging) – and concentrated on making the system more flexible, more ergonomic and more hygienic, while also increasing capacity and ensuring full conformity with OMAC and Pack ML standards.
