Innovation in motion: SIPA showcases leading-edge packaging solutions at INTERPACK 2026

Our exhibit this year focuses on the perfect synergy between robust heavy-duty handling and high-precision finishing, featuring live demonstrations of the renowned Robby Rack palletizer and the versatile Xlabl labeller.

THE ROBBY RACK: 25 years of heavy-duty mastery

At the center of our booth is the Robby Rack, a system that represents more than just a machine; it represents a quarter-century of SIPA’s leadership in large-size container handling.

When SIPA first introduced this configuration in 2000, we were on the front line of a shifting market. Today, with over 25 years of seniority in this specialized field, the Robby Rack has evolved into the most sophisticated 6-axis robotic solution for 3- and 5-gallon bottles.

Why the Robby Rack stands at the high end of the market:

• Versatile Geometry: While standard systems struggle with non-traditional shapes, our experience spans round, triangular, and rectangular 5-gallon containers.
• Intelligent Software: Our latest software automatically adapts to the specific rack type in use.
• Operating Precision & Safety: The heart of the Robby Rack is its proprietary gripping head, designed to handle up to 10 full 5-gallon bottles simultaneously without causing a single scratch. Furthermore, internal safety protocols are designed to detect damaged or defective racks, halting the cycle instantly to prevent installation damage.
• Modular Evolution: As your production needs change, our modular gripping system allows for easy interchangeability, ensuring your investment remains relevant for decades.

Whether you are looking for palletizing, depalletizing, or combined cycles to simultaneously empty and fill racks, the Robby Rack remains the industry benchmark for reliability.

Precision labelling with XLABL

Complementing our heavy-duty handling solutions is the Xlabl, SIPA's answer to the market's demand for flexibility and aesthetic perfection. In an era where "shelf appeal" is paramount, the Xlabl provides the accuracy required for high-speed lines without sacrificing ease of changeover.

The XLABL_RF is a rotary roll-fed labeller, designed to apply plastic wrap-around labels with hot-melt glue to cylindrical and shaped PET bottles, whether full or empty.

Visitors to Stand B 64 will be able to see firsthand how this system integrates seamlessly into existing lines, providing consistent label application even on challenging container geometries.

Key figures

A glimpse into the future: GENIUS PTF PRO

While the Robby Rack and Xlabl take center stage at the booth, our experts are also on hand to discuss the newest addition to the SIPA palletizing family: the Genius PTF PRO.

This high-tech, in-line Steady Pallet palletizer is designed for producers who refuse to compromise between speed and floor space. In the evolving landscape of PET bottling, true excellence is found in perfect balance. With the SIPA Sincro Tribloc setting a new gold standard by integrating blowing, labeling, and filling at 90,000 bottles per hour (bph), the stage is set for a revolution in end-of-line performance.

To meet these demands, the Genius PTF PRO is specifically engineered for high-speed applications, utilizing cutting-edge technology and premium components to guarantee world-class performance. Key features our team will be highlighting include:

• Compact Ergonomics: A low-level product infeed design that offers one of the smallest footprints on the market.

• Double Moving Platform: Utilizing full brushless technology and integrated layer accumulation, the system prepares new layers while simultaneously placing others, maximizing every second of the production cycle.
• Fast Layer 2.2R: Dual suspended robots equipped with patented double grippers ensure rapid, surgical precision during the layer preparation with active pack orientation and arrangement.
• Stability for Lightweighting: A specialized patented platform ensures that even the most ultra-lightweight bottles remain perfectly stable during the final transfer. 

SIPA has spent decades refining the art of the "perfect move"—whether that is a delicate label application or the high-speed racking of 20kg water containers. We invite you to join us in Hall 13 / B 64 to discuss how our seniority in the industry can help future-proof your production lines.
