Highdream Returns to PPMA Total Show 2026
Highdream returned to PPMA Total Show 2026 in Birmingham, presenting our 5th Generation Multihead Weigher and meeting customers and industry partners across the UK processing and packaging sector.
Event: PPMA Total Show 2026
Date: September 22–24, 2026
Location: NEC Birmingham, Birmingham, UK
Booth: B64
From 22–24 September 2026, Highdream returned to the PPMA Total Show at NEC Birmingham, continuing our long-standing participation in one of the UK’s key events for processing and packaging machinery.
PPMA brings together machinery and technology across the complete production line, covering processing, packaging, automation, robotics and industrial vision. For Highdream, the show has become an important platform for staying close to the UK market, meeting existing customers and partners, and discussing current production requirements with local manufacturers.
What We Noticed at PPMA: Key Trends in Packaging Machinery
- Smart Weighing & Inspection: Industry leaders showcased high-precision multihead weighers, checkweighers, and metal detectors. Highly integrated with IoT, these systems provide real-time line data to minimize waste.
- Turnkey & End-of-Line Automation: To counter labor shortages, exhibitors emphasized comprehensive solutions—from weighing and forming to automated boxing and palletising—maximizing efficiency in compact spaces.
- Eco-Packaging Adaptability: Machinery manufacturers upgraded sealing and vacuum technologies to handle sensitive eco-friendly materials (like paper and mono-materials) smoothly at high speeds without compromising seal quality.
Presenting Our 5th Generation Multihead Weigher
At Highdream Booth, visitors can see our 5th Generation Multihead Weigher in live operation, featuring its distinctive hex-dimpled contact surfaces.
The latest generation builds on Highdream’s multihead weighing platform with further developments in machine stability, operational visibility, and hygienic design, supporting the requirements of modern food production and packaging environments.
For returning PPMA visitors familiar with Highdream equipment, the live demonstration provides a closer look at how our multihead weighing technology continues to develop from one generation to the next.
