Theegarten-Pactec will be exhibiting at interpack 2026 (7 to 13 May 2026), where solutions will be showcased along the entire value chain that make processes more efficient, while saving resources and ensuring long-term competitiveness. For the first time at a joint stand with its partner MAKREV (Hall 1, Stand B51), the company will be presenting its customised packaging machines for every type of product and requirement.
While Theegarten-Pactec is known for high-speed solutions for packaging small confectionery items in combination with a multitude of folding types, the company will be placing a particular focus on effective packaging in flow packs at interpack 2026. Both new as well as evolved, proven systems will be on display. Manufacturers of chocolate, bars, snacks and functional foods will experience how they can benefit from maximum flexibility, automated lines and digitally networked machines from this innovation driver – customised, smart solutions for a wide variety of products, packaging materials and performance ranges.
FPC6: from the flow pack directly into the carton
With the FPC6, a new generation of machines which will be presented at interpack for the first time, Theegarten-Pactec is deliberately focusing not on ‘faster, higher, further’, but on stable efficiency. The high-performance machine reliably packs chocolate bars, tablets and pralines into flow packs and is specifically aimed at manufacturers of chocolate, confectionery, muesli and protein bars, functional foods and snacks, as well as co-packers and contract packers. With the new machine, Theegarten-Pactec is also providing a single-source system that feeds flow-wrapped bars directly into the BLM cartoner.
The FPC6 has been engineered for maximum user-friendliness: mechanical enhancements reduce complexity and, given the ongoing shortage of skilled workers, also support less experienced personnel in safe and reliable operation. An improved display also simplifies troubleshooting: the machine alerts the operator to the location of the possible problem area. This allows the machine to be operated independently with high efficiency. The tool-free removal of machine parts also contributes to this: critical parts that are prone to contamination can be replaced without tools.
Flexibility in sealing – whether longitudinal or transverse
The FPC6’s sealing device has also been designed to reduce complexity. It is exceptionally user-friendly and enables fast, reliable and error-free format changes. Furthermore, the machine not only processes a wide variety of product formats without major changeover effort, but can also master several types of sealing – cold sealing, heat sealing and separation seam welding for water-soluble films – thereby offering maximum flexibility in terms of packaging materials. An integrated preheating section ensures that even sensitive materials such as paper or recyclable mono films can be processed reliably and with the highest possible efficiency and consistent quality.
‘Flying Splice’ high-efficiency changes, reliable processes with web edge control
On average, the packaging material needs to be changed every 20 to 30 minutes during the packaging process, which is why the FPC6’s packaging material unwinding system has also been optimised. In conjunction with the sealing device, the ‘Flying Splice’ takes over critical steps that previously required precise threading and gluing of the double-sided adhesive strip. Furthermore, roll changes can be carried out without reducing speed, even at packaging speeds of 150 m/min. The ‘Flying Splice’ feature increases both process reliability and system availability with minimal training requirements.
FPH5: Flow-wrapped pouches for entry-level applications
Theegarten-Pactec is presenting the modular FPH5 for the reliable packaging of preformed products in flow-wrapped pouches. The first machine manufactured in collaboration with partner MAKREV in Turkey is designed for simple applications and achieves an output of 2,000 packaged products per minute. With this machine, Theegarten-Pactec is strengthening its competitiveness in the entry-level segment.
Partnering for greater efficiency in the medium output range
At interpack 2026, Theegarten-Pactec will be exhibiting for the first time with its partner MAKREV at a joint stand. The acquisition of a stake in the Turkish machine manufacturer in 2022 has strategically expanded the portfolio to include solutions for the medium output range – ideal for manufacturers of chocolate, hard sugar and jelly products who need flexible, cost-effective machines below the high-speed class.
At the trade fair, MAKREV will be showcasing its MR7800 and MRCW packaging machines. These machines can pack a wide range of products, from chocolate, jelly sweets and toffees to hard caramels, chocolate balls and eggs, at a rate of 600 to 900 pieces per minute.
