StanTech and SMC Open Day: Innovations in Automation and Energy Efficiency

Stantech Packaging Machine,, in collaboration with its long-term partner SMC, successfully hosted an Open Day event on April 23rd at its facilities in Simanovci. The event brought together numerous partners and clients from the packaging and automation industry, with the goal of presenting the latest technological solutions and enabling expert knowledge exchange.

VIPER Wrap-Around Systems in Focus

A key highlight of the event was the VIPER wrap-around case packing machines, high-performance systems designed for packaging products in thermoformed plastic trays. With a capacity of up to 20 cases per minute, these systems are engineered for demanding food industry environments, where reliability, speed, and product protection are critical.

VIPER systems use flat corrugated blanks that are formed directly around the product, ensuring:

• complete protection during transport
• an attractive retail-ready appearance
• optimized space utilization and logistics

Integrated labeling and palletizing solutions further enhance the efficiency of the entire packaging and logistics process.

Key Features of VIPER Systems

• Wrap-around technology – forming the case directly around the product
• Hot melt sealing – secure and durable case closure
• Servo-driven control – precise and stable operation without product damage
• Quick changeover – flexibility for different product formats
• Shelf-ready packaging – ready for direct retail display
• Automatic palletizing – safe transport and storage

Benefits for the Food Industry

VIPER wrap-around systems offer several key advantages:

• high level of product protection from contamination and damage
• increased productivity and operational efficiency
• hygienic design compliant with industry standards
• use of recyclable materials supporting sustainability initiatives

SMC Solutions: Energy Efficiency as a Priority

In addition to Stantech innovations, partner SMC presented advanced solutions in pneumatic automation, with a strong focus on energy efficiency.

Attention was given to the “4-bar Factory” initiative, which enables significant energy savings by optimizing system operating pressure—without compromising performance. This approach directly contributes to reduced operating costs and more sustainable production.

Technology in Real Conditions

The event featured a dynamic atmosphere with live machine demonstrations in real production conditions and direct interaction with engineering teams. Visitors gained practical insights into the application of these technologies and opportunities to improve their own production processes.

A Partnership Driving Innovation

The Open Day once again confirmed the strength of the partnership between Stantech No SMC, as well as their shared commitment to developing innovative, efficient, and sustainable industrial solutions.
