Sustainable packaging solutions from a single source
Visit Kiefel - Hall 3, Stand E 90
In addition to classic, bio-based and recycled plastics, paper can also be processed on Kiefel steel rule cutting and tilting machines. Live demonstrations on the KMD 78.2 Speed steel rule machine will be used to produce high-quality, sustainable packaging products from recycled films - thus contributing to tray-to-tray recycling, for example. This is made possible by in-house, unique tool technology and smart automation concepts. Kiefel is unveiling the new Kiefel Speed Automation (KSA) at the K. Beside customer-specific automation solutions, the company thereby offers completely modular standard automations based on a building block principle for the most common applications.
Visitors can look forward to exclusive insights into the Fiber Thermoforming of natural fibers - the associated NATUREFORMER KFT 90 machine is already in operation worldwide in large numbers.
Kiefel is committed to increased sustainability in many ways, and has anchored this in its corporate strategy, is EcoVadis-certified and is involved in various research initiatives for a better circular economy. At the booth, visitors will gain an insight into new research activities and results from initiatives such as HolyGrail 2.0, PrintCYC and NextLoop.

Service: Machine status and maintenance at a glance - 24/7 with the Kiefel Portal
In Kiefel's After Sales division, the range of digital services has been expanded. The Kiefel Portal is the central online platform that allows customers to keep an eye on their machine status around the clock using the "Maintenance Dashboard" and plan upcoming maintenance. Furthermore, users are also informed about suitable machine upgrades. The Kiefel portal can also be used to identify and request machine spare parts, 3D machine documentation and new interactive online training courses on all aspects of machine operation.
Simultaneously, Kiefel is presenting innovations for the medical and pharmaceutical industry. At the K trade fair, the company is exhibiting its expanded portfolio of bioprocess bags with the requisite machine technology.
The 3D and 2D bags can be made from PVC-free materials such as PE or PP, or from PVC or EVA, depending on the customer's requirements.
Depending on the customer's requirements, a wide range of options can be implemented, e.g. semi-automatic or fully automatic machines, disposable bags for the storage of stem cells, cell cultures, mixing or separation, in 2D or 3D designs or hose/port connection components.
