Dating back to 1984, the company that is now known as SYMACH Palletizing, a division of BW Packaging, began building high-level palletizers for the bulk agricultural produce industry.
Early SYMACH Palletizing innovations include the push plate with a squeeze collar, and the stacking cage. The company was reorganized and rebranded as SYMACH (“system” and “machinery”) in the 1990s.
BW Packaging (the Barry-Wehmiller’s packaging machinery group) creates flexible packaging solutions for food and non-food products, offering innovative brands such as Hayssen vertical form-fill seal and horizontal flow-wrap machines, SYMACH palletizers and Thiele bag-filling and sealing machines.
With eight locations throughout the United States, United Kingdom, Italy and the Netherlands, BW Packaging’s flexible packaging machinery group offers lifetime support to its customers globally.
SYMACH’s automatic palletizing equipment is designed to achieve high-speed production rates and high-quality, perfectly stacked pallet loads.
The machines can palletize a wide range of bags in a variety of sizes, and shapes, or materials in stable, square pallet loads. SYMACH bag palletizers feature a patented layer-squaring and compression system to maximize full pallet-load stability and appearance.
Bag palletizing equipment automates the pallet building process, but not all product lines are built the same. Many different palletizing accessories and technologies can be employed by SYMACH to help producers and packers/shippers make the perfect pallet customized to their production needs.
