BW Packaging to showcase next-generation packaging solutions at PACK EXPO International
Booth S-2100 to exhibit Thiele UltraStar G2 Bagger, Hayssen R300 Flow Wrapper and OpView™ HMI
ST. LOUIS — Oct. 1, 2024 — BW Packaging, Barry-Wehmiller's packaging machinery group, will showcase its latest solutions in food and beverage packaging machinery in booth S-2100 at PACK EXPO International, held November 3 to 6 in Chicago.
"We value partnering with our customers to help them overcome their unique challenges and achieve success," said Rachana Creeth, Group President of BW Packaging. "At PACK EXPO, we're excited to connect with customers, understand their needs and demonstrate how our latest solutions can solve their problems and drive real results."
The new Thiele UltraStar G2 Bag Filler, which will make its debut at PACK EXPO International, is a second-generation version of BW Flexible Systems' renowned UltraStar bagger. This solution is known throughout the packaging industry for its reliability in packaging pet food, rice, grains and agricultural products. The updated G2 design offers brand owners and co-packers enhanced accessibility for maintenance, increased uptime for smoother operations and seamless integration with existing production lines.
BW Flexible Systems' new Hayssen R300 Flow Wrapper will also make its debut at PACK EXPO International. This hand-fed flow wrapper provides a simple and user-friendly experience for operators, with innovative features that allow for easy changeovers and automated adjustments to maximize uptime. The Hayssen R300 is ideal for flow wrapping baked goods like single cookies, brownies, Danishes, croissants, small pies, whoopie pies, crispy rice treats and more.
Both new machines, and all other machines exhibited at booth S-2100, will feature BW Packaging's new award-winning OpView™ HMI. This user-friendly HMI empowers consumer packaged goods companies to overcome operational challenges related to the scarcity of skilled labor. Regardless of their experience level, operators can use the OpView HMI's smartphone-like interface to easily set up, operate and troubleshoot a variety of packaging solutions, including fillers, closing equipment, labelers, and end-of-line and fully integrated systems. The OpView HMI's familiar, intuitive interface simplifies operator training, resulting in greater productivity for all BW Packaging customers.
"The OpView HMI is intuitive, adaptable and designed to solve a growing customer challenge: operator turnover," said Joe Ambrose, Director of Digital Innovation at BW Packaging. "We're excited to demonstrate at PACK EXPO how this new HMI enhances the operator experience and supports future growth for our customers."
Demos will be held at booth S-2100 daily for visitors who are interested in seeing how the new OpView HMI complements the many advantages of BW Packaging's Sleevit labelers, Angelus seamers, Hayssen vertical form-fill-seal baggers and flow wrappers, Pneumatic Scale fillers and cappers, and Thiele bag filler machines.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
