As the summer comes to an end, ProMach and its family of best in class product brands have been busy exhibiting at tradeshows taking place all over the globe. Tradeshow highlights include Achema in Frankfurt, Drinktec in Munich, Labelexpo Americas in Chicago, and others. Upcoming tradeshows include IBIE Bakery and Snack show September 17-22 in Las Vegas and Pack Expo in Chicago Oct 23-26.
ProMach Pharma Solutions exhibited at Achema in Frankfurt, where product brands WLS, NJM, Pharmaworks, and Zalkin exhibited their packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical industry. Machinery highlights included the Pharmaworks TF1 Blister Packaging, the NJM Beltorque BT-1C Inline Capper, WLS VR-72 Vertical Roller Inline Labeler and Autonomy Digital Printer, and Zalkin Cappers. See the recap of the show on the Pharma Packaging News site: https://www.pharmapackagingnews.com/achema-22-video/
ProMach product brands Fogg, Zalkin, Modern, and P.E. Labellers exhibited at Drinktec for the first time in over 5 years. Fogg showcased their F4.1 filler with 24 filling valves and a Zalkin 8 head capper, which runs 50 ml spirits bottles, fitted with Class 1 Div 1 explosion proof electrics, meeting or exceeding national requirements depending on the country. ProMach product brand Zalkin provides capping solutions and addresses the needs to ensure precise and gentle handling of closures for distilled spirits to prevent even minor visual damage and provides technical solutions to reduce or even remove contact between caps. P.E. Labellers showcased the Simpl-Cut labeler which applies wrap-around labels from a roll, either with hot melt or pre-glued technology. This innovative technology has advantages: blade change in 10 seconds without the use of tools and without adjustments, greater flexibility in the management of formats, and an always clean drum because the glue is applied before cutting the label.

At LabelExpo Americas in Chicago, ProMach product brand WLS exhibited the Autonomy Digital Printer, their roll-to-roll digital label printer that prints from blank die-cut labels into fully printed or variable data printed labels allowing customers to order labels in bulk instead of small expensive rush orders and improving label supply lead times.

Bottled water and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages like soda and flavored coffee are some of the most in-demand consumer product goods. ProMach and its product brands work with customers in the water and RTD beverage industry around the globe providing packaging solutions such as filling, capping, labeling, and much more. But not until we start adding the numbers up do we really see the magnitude of how ProMach provides the means for consumers to receive everyday necessities like water. Adding the numbers up on an annual and even daily basis can reveal some staggering statistics! So to show ProMach’s breadth of influence, we created this infographic to show how ProMach has a hand in packaging everyday consumer product goods.
A few ProMach solutions are shown here. ProMach product brands Stock and Allpax are leaders in retort and sterilizing equipment for products like coffee with dairy and together their machinery retorts 3.6 million Frappuccino bottles per day. Additionally, ProMach product brand Axon, a leader in shrink sleeve and tamper evident band labeling, has sleevers in the field that sleeve 1.8 million coffee bottles per day. That’s a lot of coffee bottles!
ProMach product brand P.E. Labellers touts machinery worldwide labeling a whopping 5.4 million soda bottles labeled per day. And Code Tech equipment codes 850,000 soda bottles per day at customer sites.
Popular sports drinks are favorites at games and outdoor activities and 4 million of those bottles are filled per day from Fogg fillers, a ProMach product brand and leader in rinsing, filling, and capping equipment.
And of course, the ProMach influence extends to the bottled water industry, where one million cases of water are packaged per day by product brand Bartelt‘s machinery, a leader in cartoning, shrink wrapping, case packing, and tray packing systems. Additionally, a staggering 383 million water bottles are capped per day by customers using Zalkin cappers, and 1.1 million single bottle handles are applied per day by Roberts PolyPro handle applications.
When you look at the statistics, it’s remarkable the volume our customers are operating at each day to provide consumers with the essentials. And it doesn’t stop at just bottled water and beverages. Down every aisle and across every shelf, ProMach is proud to be a part of the critical industries of consumer packaged goods.
