Just as products come in packaging of all shapes and sizes,
so do today's demands on packaging machines such as a drag conveyor. Although packaging is primarily
there to protect the content, product presentation frequently boosts the incentive
to buy and is constantly adjusted to meet point-of-sale requirements. Even when
the packaging tasks are changed frequently, operators expect reliability, high
cycle speeds and, in particular, flexibility from their packaging machines.
Today's machines have a high degree of automation, which creates a need for
intelligent, modular safety concepts that seek to maintain economic viability
and deliver a competitive edge. In time, we will only see these levels of automation increase and the quality of these machines elevate.
