The inaugural APPEX 2024 exhibition runs from 12-15 March, 2024 at the Exhibition and Convention Centre in Melbourne.

Everything we do at Foodmach aims to help production managers meet their challenges.

Customers are demanding a wider range of packaging styles, shapes and sizes. A single FMCG packaging line is expected to accommodate more SKUs than ever before, at faster speeds with less waste.

The theme of our stand at APPEX is about giving you the control you need to achieve high speeds, regardless of product complexity.

What we've got in store for you

Foodmach's extra-large APPEX stand features 75 square metres of new MULTI SKU Robomatrix® High-Speed Palletising.

Capable of palletising multiple products to multiple locations simultaneously, when installed at our customer Nuttelex's site, this model will handle two lines simultaneously with 15 SKUs between them. The system is designed to be modular and, due to our pattern programming software Robowizard®, completely flexible.

On-stand demonstrations at APPEX will include:

• our line control software suite for Industry 4.0-enabled, sustainable manufacturing (Line MES);
• integrated coding and labelling with Markem-Imaje;
• and pallet stretch wrapping with Robopac.

Our team represents all our agency lines and will be on hand to answer questions about integration at your facility.

Best-of-breed brands represented include:

• Robopac for pallet wrapping;
• Markem-Imaje for Coding and Labelling;
• P.E. Labellers for container labelling;
• GEA Vipoll,
• Mengibar and INDEX 6 fillers;

• SOMIC, OCME, Dimac and Prasmatic case packers;
• and cobot palletising from Roblox;
