Innovation, performance, and sustainability: Valmet raises the bar in secondary packaging with Casmatic B23

Casmatic B23, an evolution of the best-selling CMB 202, is designed for secondary packaging of roll products such as toilet paper and paper towels. Although it does not replace the primary packaging, the solution creates an outer bag that isolates and preserves the packages, ensuring superior safety during transport and storage. The new model features high performance, a modular design that allows customers to significantly reduce installation time, and sustainability. In this regard, thanks to the TOSS longitudinal sealing system, the Casmatic B23 reduces energy consumption by approximately 20% and pneumatic air consumption by 50%.
