Bag filler at Pack Expo from BW Flexible Systems

BW Flexible Systems, a manufacturer of flexible packaging machinery, will launch its reengineered Thiele UltraStar G2 Bag Filler at Pack Expo International at Stand S-2100, held November 3-6 in Chicago. This second-generation machine is the latest addition to the Thiele Star series, a series of bag filling solutions. It builds on the original UltraStar by enhancing reliability, streamlining maintenance and improving durability.

After gathering customer feedback and analysis, BW Flexible Systems made several key upgrades to the UltraStar G2. The re-engineered design minimises unplanned production stops, reducing downtime and increasing reliability.

Braden Beam, global product line leader for bag filling at BW Flexible Systems, notes, “With the UltraStar G2, we provide a solution that meets challenges by offering easier maintenance and long-term durability to evolve with shifting market needs.”

Additionally, BW Flexible Systems simplified the design of the UltraStar G2 to lower overall maintenance costs. The machine now requires fewer spare parts and increases maintenance accessibility, simplifying repairs. This streamlined design enables quicker parts replacement and a smaller inventory of spare parts on hand.

The UltraStar G2 Bag Filler also integrates with Symach palletising solutions to optimise entire packaging lines.
