Innovative strides in the pet food packaging industry are setting new benchmarks for automation, as leading companies bring forward cutting-edge solutions. At the upcoming Interpack 2026, a collaboration between CLEVERTECH SPA and KUKA will showcase a revolutionary robotic system designed to enhance the efficiency of pouch handling, crucial for the rapidly evolving industry.
The demands on pouch handling have intensified due to the need for flexible formats, residual moisture after sterilisation, challenging wet environments, and stringent hygiene requirements. These challenges are compounded by the movement towards monomaterial pouches and environmentally-friendly design changes.
CLEVERTECH SPA, renowned for its innovative automation in packaging, is set to present a state-of-the-art solution. Their advanced gripping and Drying 2.0 Piab system, part of the Piab Group, promises stable handling, uniform drying, and maximum reliability. These features are designed to maintain performance at high speeds and across multiple formats, a significant requirement for fast-moving consumer goods production.
Attendees of Interpack 2026 will have the opportunity to witness these developments firsthand at Clevertech’s booth in Hall 14 / D39. As the industry continues to evolve, this new technology represents a significant step forward in meeting the stringent demands of modern pet food packaging.
Both CLEVERTECH SPA and KUKA are pivotal players in the manufacturing and automation sectors, continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible in industrial applications. Their continued innovation underpins the transformation of the packaging industry, paving the way for more sustainable and efficient production processes.
