Sustainable and efficient packaging Electric Automation Real-life application Perfectly shaped packaging: Stepper motor EMMS-ST on the hood forming module. “The stepper motors reduce the energy consumption of the entire machine.” Wolfgang Konrad, Vice President Marketing & Communication, IWK With the new blister packaging machine from IWK, sustainability is not just lip service. Thanks to the use of recyclable packaging material, its low energy consumption, high speed and ergonomic design, the CABLIblue 870 proves to be a real trendsetter. And with electric automation technology from Festo sustainability and efficiency are significantly increased in this application.

It is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of packaging machines, focusing on tube fillers and cartoning systems. With the CABLIblue 870 card-to-card blister system, the company supports its customers on their journey towards a circular economy.
