Our innovations that match the 2023 interpack topics

Circular economy and resource conservation

Conscious use of resources has become probably the most topical, urgent production issue. How can I reduce material consumption and ensure that material is reused when the product reaches the end of its service life? Thanks to tribo-polymers, our bearing products require no external lubrication, so lubricating oils and greases can be avoided. And new projects such as the "Chainge" recycling project for energy chains ensure that products are reprocessed at the end of their life cycle.

Digital technologies

Digital technology is coming to the packaging industry as well. How can maintenance cases on the packaging line be recognised at an early stage? How can I predict core rupture in my machine's cables before it occurs? Who will show me the wear at the bearing points in my conveyor belts? And what maintenance recommendations are there now? Our smart plastics sensor technology provides answers to these questions and many others.

Product safety

Product safety means consumer safety. Recognised standards such as those of the FDA or EU10/2011 prescribe the features that products in direct contact with food must have. We are also developing more and more products with a hygienic design and the important approvals. In addition to plain bearings, these products include linear technology, spherical balls, energy chains, spherical bearings, filaments, and much more. Here we have put together an selection from our hygienic design product range.
