GERMAN CHOCOLATE FACTORY GETS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN

摘要

Colorful variety is what the most famous chocolate bar in the 100g format from Ritter Sport stands for. Its dimensions are just as varied as the many different types of chocolate offered. Even a difference of three millimetres in thickness between products represents a challenge when it comes to shelf-ready packaging, a process that has so far only been solved by hand in a time-consuming and costly manner. Ritter Sport was therefore looking for a system that would pack the 100g bars in the correct formation and reliably recognize how many bars had to be sorted into the carton, depending on the thickness of the variety. The new compact TLM case packer now handles this process fully automatically and directly on-site within the production chain. Thanks to a specially developed single-piece carton, Ritter is able to save an additional 30% of storage space.
