Innovative thermoform packaging technology for sliced meats, cheeses, and other fresh products

From now on, many clever technical details of the wePACK will make the production of food processing companies even more economical. Film and product losses are avoided thanks to camera assisted inspection of the top film, inspecting, and comparing against the stored recipe data. Moreover, the camera inspection contributes to a significant increase of production reliability. Further, the new web edge control system for the bottom film unwind not only reduces the complexity thanks to a simple mechanical design, but corrects web unwind deviations smoothly and precisely with the help of tendency detection. Space-saving, cost-effective, and application-safe: the upper tool of the Weber thermoforming packaging machine is now equipped with an integrated cut for peel corners – with a quick-change insert to reduce downtime when changing formats.

Regardless of customers film preference, with the Weber wePACK, all thermoformable and heat-sealable packaging materials that are common in the market today, as well as those that may be required in the future, can be processed.

Blade expertise from the market leader for slicers.

The slicer blade, as the heart of every slicer, is the component that comes into contact with every slice and determines the quality of the sliced product. It influences the maximum cutting performance with which the product can be sliced, ensures a frictionless slicing operation, has a decisive influence on the placement of the portion and, last but not least, determines give-away and yield.

Weber Durablade blades stand for hygiene, precision, slicing quality, durability and longevity and implement impressive results even in demanding applications. The portfolio comprises a total of approx. 400 involute blades and 100 circular blades - with toothed or smooth blade edges, without or with different coatings as well as in numerous sizes and radii. They are made of stainless steel and convince not only by their high quality, but also by their 30% longer service life than blades from other manufacturers. For simple operation and to ensure correct sharpening, an RFID chip is installed into all Durablade involute blades. All relevant sharpening parameters are already stored for you here.

Highly efficient cross-web labeler

With their first own cross-web labeler weLABEL, Weber has enhanced their portfolio to integrate the labeling process even better and more seamlessly into Weber solutions. Customers can choose between the weLABEL 5000 as a top web labeler and the weLABEL 5500 as a bottom web labeler. Unlike any other labeler on the market, both labelers are fully integrated in the packaging machine.

The transfer unit of the weLABEL can be so seamlessly integrated into the frame of the Weber wePACK that the components virtually merge into a single unit. The movements of the weLABEL are synchronous with the movements of the wePACK and run completely harmoniously, thanks to fewer moving masses.

The label reel dispenser can be flipped down for easy and ergonomic reloading of label reels. Moreover, the weLABEL is fully integrated into the control system of the Weber packaging lines.

Weber Video Assist
Increasing equipment availability through quick error analysis: Several cameras are permanently and securely installed on the machines throughout the entire production line. The cameras continuously record the production process and make it available as a video stream. If a problem occurs, a video sequence is saved for a set time frame of one minute prior to thirty seconds after the event occurred. This video sequence is transferred, auto-logged with the documented error in the FactoryCockpit timeline, and displayed as a video marker. This enables customers to view the respective video sequence and to better analyze scope and root cause of the incident.

Weber has optimally supplemented their own portfolio by now offering a solution for medium performance classes

The wePACK 4000 is the ideal choice especially for full-range product suppliers and food producers who tend to produce smaller batches. During the Anuga FoodTec, Weber presented the compact thermoformer in a configuration for packaging piece goods like meat balls, sausage rings, nuggets or fresh meat and poultry products. As usual in Weber packaging technology, servo technology is also used for the chain drive of the wePACK 4000. Moreover, the new Weber thermoformer is easily accessible increasing ease of service and maintenance work. A highlight in this regard is the quick change system for forming and sealing tools. The upper tool of the wePACK 4000 flips down in one easy motion, making accessing the lower tools is fast and simple.

The thermoformer is particularly suitable for MAP, vacuum, and standard skin applications. It can be used with all types of both rigid and flexible film, which makes the wePACK 4000 an investment that makes sense.

The wePACK 4000 can be fully integrated into Weber line solutions by using the control and operating technology common for all Weber machines.

The new performance slicer offers an unmatched variety of cutting, infeeding and portioning systems with a high performance of up to 1,850 cuts per minute. Top Highlight: Daily several live demonstrations on the booth!

This fact and a slicing shaft measuring 500 mm in width and 220 mm in height make the slicer perfect for a wide range of applications for caliber-consistent products, but even cheese, ham, bacon or special applications like whole muscle and quartering are precisely and efficiently sliced with the weSLICE 7500. Thanks to a new guide system in the infeed area and product guidance, tool changes when switching products are especially simple, safe, and quick. The large variety of product infeed systems is the only one of its kind in the market: Customers can choose between GripnGo, a lane-independent vario product infeed, or ContiFlow infeeding without reloading break, which was developed specifically for use with Flowpack packaging machines.

All systems guarantee that the product is treated extremely gently during the infeeding process while reloading times are very short. In combination with the available performance slicing systems, this guarantees maximum performance and lets operators perfectly configure the slicer for a wide variety of applications. Moreover, the vario technology of the weSLICE 7500, which enables lane-independent product infeeding, contributes to excellent yield with natural products like bacon. Optionally, the infeed module of the slicer can be equipped with a scale function. This lets operators capture the exact weight of all products fed into the line and even determine the line performance with regard to yield.

Intelligent complete line solutions from a single source.

From product preparation to tested primary packaging, Weber Food Technology offers a wide portfolio with complete solutions for the production and packaging of cold cut, snack & convenience and alternative meat products. Everything from one source, seamlessly integrated and intelligently networked. Through this unique initial situation, we are able to take the integration of slicers, automation, packaging and end-of-line equipment to a new level and avoid interfaces at the same time. We combine powerful line components into even more powerful complete line solutions. Boundaries between individual components disappear so that the complete slicing line merges into one unit. These system solutions always have a holistic approach and are adapted to your individual requirements.

Perfectly sliced, attractively packed

Whether you want to process meat, sausage, cheese or products made from alternative proteins: the Weber Slicer weSLICE 9500 is the perfect choice if you expect nothing less than ultimate slicing quality and slicing performance in the highest performance ranges.

The in-depth process and product know-how of our developers and application engineers has been included in every slicer component and every detail, from the infeed belt to the portioning unit. Thanks to the outstanding slicing technology and sophisticated product handling, even products with challenging properties and special textures (e.g. plant-based products) can be sliced precisely and presented attractively.
