Valmet has launched the Casmatic B23, an innovative secondary packaging machine for toilet paper and paper towels, marking a significant leap in performance, sustainability, and modularity. The machine reduces energy consumption by 20% and pneumatic air usage by 50%, thanks to its advanced TOSS sealing system.
Cristiano Casale, Valmet's Global Packaging Technical Director, explains: "Casmatic B23 has been designed with a strong focus on sustainability, even though polyethylene is still the most widely used material in secondary packaging today," and concludes, "This approach ensures that the machine is ready to meet the growing demand for more environmentally friendly and future-oriented solutions."
The Casmatic B23 revolutionises the design of packaging machines by introducing modularity for the first time. This approach reduces installation time at the customer's site by 45%, marking a true paradigm shift in the industry and enabling production to start within four days. It delivers 23 polyethylene bags per minute, with a quick 25-minute format changeover.
Enhanced by Siemens' latest PLC system and IoT integration, it supports predictive maintenance and real-time performance monitoring.
Additionally, the machine, thanks to the proprietary IoT system TDS, is designed to share PLC data through the most widely used protocols available on the market, for integration with a wide range of tools, including third-party ones. This allows for data collection and processing, offering the customer the ability to monitor and optimize machine performance, even in real-time.
