Signode, a leading global manufacturer of a broad range of transit packaging equipment, tools, consumables, automation and support solutions, is highlighting new equipment and industry-leading technologies at PACK EXPO International 2024. Held at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois from November 3-6, visitors to booth S-3100 will have the opportunity to see live equipment demonstrations and explore the latest additions to the expansive Signode portfolio of end-of-line transit packaging solutions.
“At PACK EXPO 2024, we are excited to demonstrate how innovation drives every aspect of our end-of-line packaging solutions, from automated equipment to packaging consumables,” said Mike Wolf, Senior Director of Signode Technologies. “The new solutions we’re introducing at the show highlight our commitment to creating easy-to-use, adaptable systems that align with the evolving challenges facing today’s manufacturers.”
New Innovative Products Highlights at PACK EXPOFor the first time at PACK EXPO, Signode will debut several new innovations in its portfolio of plastic strapping solutions including equipment, tools and consumables. Representatives will be on site to demonstrate how these advancements can add efficiency and improved productivity to your unique operation.
Among these innovations is the fully automated SGP-5330 strapping bundler. The latest addition to the SGP series, it expands on the capabilities of its predecessor, now offering a smart touchscreen HMI and advanced IoT integration for real-time equipment monitoring and proactive maintenance.
Live Integrated Solution DemonstrationsSignode will also host live demonstrations of an integrated packaging system featuring the new GCU-3 strapping unitizer and the fully automatic Octopus® S Series stretch wrapping machine - a combination that streamlines end-of-line operations while improving load integrity throughout the distribution cycle. Equipped with up to six modular heads for enhanced flexibility and maximum throughput, the GCU-3 uses sensitive compression and variable head tension to enable the strapping of highly delicate loads. The Octopus S Series uses an “S” wrap pattern to optimize load containment and minimize film usage, enabling it to wrap up over 100 loads per hour.
The integrated demo will also incorporate custom protective packaging through Signode Engineered Solutions, such as leading Multi-WallTM, PDMTM and Reddi-PacTM brands. Lightweight, durable, and fully customizable, Signode’s turn-key packaging solutions aim to improve output, minimize waste, and maximize efficiency for the most demanding jobs.
Signode will also be running live demos of its fully customizable Simplimatic® Robotic Palletizing Systems and Simpli-flex® Conveying Systems. Engineered for ultimate versatility, these systems provide flexible options for loading single or multiple pallets, with both multi-axis and collaborative configurations that adapt to a variety of product lines. Integrating a Simpli-flex conveyor system upstream in your operation helps set the stage for a continuous flow of materials throughout each phase of the distribution cycle, enhancing overall throughput and operational efficiency.
Signode’s comprehensive approach is further strengthened by a diverse portfolio of protective packaging, dunnage, and transit packaging solutions, all designed to elevate our customers' operations and reinforce our commitment to their ongoing success. These and all Signode offerings are backed by industry-leading service and support. Customizing solutions to meet transit packaging needs, Signode has expanded its offering to include total support through its Packaging Plus Reliability Services programs, leveraging IoT capabilities for remote monitoring and service, alongside on-site support from the Customer Experience Center in Roselle, IL.
