Operation of the Intelligent Splicing System now functional with PPWR integration
The packaging industry is experiencing a significant transformation, with the new EU packaging regulation, adopted in mid-February 2025, being a key driver. This regulation emphasizes the need for companies to adapt their design and material usage to increase recycling and reuse rates. In response, b+b Automation and Control Technology, a packaging machine specialist from southern Hesse, has developed and manufactured the splicing head for the innovative JetConnect process according to Jetter GmbH's constructive specifications.
The JetConnect process could potentially provide a solution for packaging lines that require cost-effective, automated, and space-efficient web splicing. This process, an intelligent splicing system for packaging technology, is developed by Jetter GmbH and features a flexible and robust splitting head manufactured by Eisele Pneumatics.
The splicing process in the JetConnect process uses exclusively monomaterials, aligning with the EU packaging regulation's emphasis on reducing packaging weight, using monomaterials, and maintaining material purity. This ensures that non-separable or difficult-to-separate material mixtures, which are no longer allowed under the new regulation, are avoided.
The interaction of the splicing band and the flexible, robust splicing head guarantees the use of monomaterials in the splicing process. This results in the elimination of costly downtime, material waste, and material mixing when connecting material webs, contributing to the ecological and legal compliance of packaging lines under the EU packaging regulation.
Packaging lines in high-volume, price-sensitive applications are crucial for overall business balance. Manual intervention during material roll changes can be costly and time-consuming in these processes. The JetConnect process addresses this issue by providing an automated, reliable, and efficient solution, helping users meet the strict requirements of the new EU packaging regulation and ensuring optimal compliance.
Non-compliance with these requirements could result in fines or plant closures. The JetConnect process, therefore, not only offers a practical solution for packaging lines but also helps companies avoid potential penalties and maintain their operations.
In conclusion, the JetConnect process is a significant step forward in the packaging industry, providing a cost-effective, automated, and space-efficient solution that aligns with the EU packaging regulation's objectives. By using monomaterials and ensuring efficient, reliable splicing, it contributes to the ecological and legal compliance of packaging lines, making it an essential tool for businesses seeking to adapt to the changing regulatory landscape.
