Superior ergonomics and optimal use of space

Machine-high safety doors with a 180° opening allow full use of the aisle space around the machine. In addition, the new frame design ensures ideal ergonomic conditions for format adjustment, cleaning and maintenance.

Highly efficient format changeovers

A maximum degree of automation and improved accessibility in all areas of the machine enable up to 70% faster format changeovers.

Improved working conditions

A new feature is a combination of control and supply cabinet. By relocating noisy components to a separate, insulated supply cabinet, the machine is even quieter in operation. In addition, necessary maintenance work is significantly simplified.

In addition to these groundbreaking innovations, the SOMIC 434 is already distinguished by other outstanding equipment and performance features in the standard version:

Improved accessibility and optimal ergonomic operation and maintenance
Automatic format adjustment with time savings of up to 70 percent
Smallest possible, space-saving footprint
Stainless steel frame with integrated electrical installation
Operating status visible from all sides thanks to LED corner lighting

Sustainability at SOMIC

The new 434 packaging machine generation from SOMIC also represents our commitment to sustainable packaging solutions. With a clear focus on multi-format flexibility, low wear and high energy efficiency, we demonstrate that top performance and sustainability can go hand in hand. This makes our machines particularly durable and protects the environment and important resources. By using innovative technologies, it is possible to minimize the energy consumption of the packaging machine without sacrificing performance.

Another important component of our sustainability strategy is respectful interaction between companies, employees, customers and suppliers. For example, we source many of our assemblies and components from close to our company site in Amerang in the Bavarian Chiemgau region. This ensures a fast and reliable supply of the necessary parts and guarantees consistently high quality. Short transport routes and the use of sustainable transport solutions minimize our own ecological footprint. A binding code of suppliers and values also forms the basis for all our supplier relationships.

SOMIC machines stand for future-oriented technology that protects the environment while meeting our customers' requirements for efficiency and versatility.

Stainless steel frame with integrated electrical installation

The SOMIC 434 machine generation is based on a robust stainless steel frame, which not only provides a solid structure, but also houses the entire electrical installation. This makes optimum use of the available space in the machine.

Stainless steel is both durable and hygienic. Its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning make it the ideal choice for use in demanding environments. The nature of the material also ensures a long service life for the machine.

The stability of the material makes it possible to provide barrier-free access to the machine. This means that our latest generation of packaging machines not only work particularly efficiently, but are also easy to access and maintain.

Combination of control and supply cabinet

One objective of the SOMIC 434 was to make the machine's noise environment even quieter. Noise-intensive components were relocated to a separate, insulated supply cabinet thanks to a combination of control and supply cabinet. This makes the machine even quieter during operation and also facilitates necessary maintenance work. The supply cabinet also houses the filling station for the gluing units.

Operating status visible from all sides thanks to LED corner lighting

The LED corner lighting shows the operating status of the machine at all times and from a distance. Whether in normal operation, during a test run or in packaging mode, it is possible to see from a distance which operating mode the machine is currently in - an additional contribution to safety in the work process.

Simple operation due to intelligent features

To ensure that the machine runs as smoothly as possible, we have integrated a number of features into the SOMIC 434 that make the packaging machine easier to use. A key feature is the intuitive control of all machine settings via touchscreen.

Furthermore, considerably faster format changeovers have been achieved through maximum automation in conjunction with SOMIC Quick Change technology. This improvement minimizes downtime and maximizes performance by enabling adaptation to different packaging formats in the shortest possible time.

Good accessibility and high ergonomics are also key benefits of the SOMIC 434. Our design allows easy access to all relevant areas of the machine, facilitates maintenance and cleaning and increases safety and efficiency in the workplace.

Highly efficient format changeovers for short downtimes

Format changeovers are easier and more efficient than ever with the SOMIC 434. Thanks to the maximum degree of automation when changing formats and the universal quick-change technology, all format parts can be easily and safely changed automatically or without tools. This can achieve time savings of up to 70 percent. Downtimes are minimized and the efficiency of the packaging process is increased.

SOMIC Transporttechnologie - Förderband zum Produkttransport im Verpackungsprozess

Compatible transport technology from SOMIC

SOMIC offers the right conveyor and handling system for every type of packaging. Our range of services extends from the supply of individual conveyor belts to complete, turnkey conveying and handling systems.

Ergonomic working conditions

The SOMIC 434 has been equipped with a new door concept to create optimum ergonomic working conditions and facilitate format changes. These doors extend over the entire height of the machine and can be opened 180°. This not only facilitates access, but also makes the best possible use of the entire aisle area around the machine. This creates additional safety while still allowing the doors to open fully.

The new frame design provides unobstructed access to the functional units and therefore ensures ideal ergonomic conditions for format changeovers, cleaning and maintenance. In addition, the new control and supply cabinet ensures even quieter working conditions.
