How the Bartelt MAG Series Simplifies Changeovers and Boosts Uptime

Why Changeover Time Is Now a KPI

With shorter product life cycles, demand for personalization, and retailer-driven packaging variety, frequent changeovers have become a production bottleneck. Each minute lost adds up to missed output and increased labor costs.

The MAG Series was engineered to solve this exact problem—delivering ultra-fast, tool-less changeovers that boost uptime and slash setup time.

Key Features That Streamline Changeovers

• User-Friendly Interface
An intuitive touchscreen with step-by-step guidance helps operators perform changeovers efficiently—with fewer errors and less training required.

• Memory Recall for Rapid Setup
Recipe-driven programming allows teams to store and recall exact settings for each SKU. Whether switching from single-serve pouches to club packs or standard to eco films, it’s all handled with the touch of a button.

• Tool-Less Adjustments
Most mechanical adjustments can be made without tools, significantly reducing the time (and frustration) associated with reconfiguring equipment.

• Material Waste Reduction
Precise control ensures fewer start-up rejects and less wasted film when transitioning between runs.

Proven Results on the Plant Floor

One personal care brand using the MAG Series cut average changeover times from 45 minutes to under 15. The result? An additional 3 hours of daily production capacity—without adding labor or equipment.

The Bottom Line

Whether you’re running a multi-SKU snack line or responding to seasonal packaging promotions, the MAG Series ensures that changeovers are no longer a pain point—they’re a competitive advantage.
