The system can also combine mechanical and vacuum grippers to handle a wide variety of product types, ensuring maximum flexibility and reliability.
This system is optimized for high-throughput food production lines, offering seamless automation for even the most challenging products. It’s particularly well-suited for environments with space constraints and where maintaining hygiene standards is critical. Whether handling delicate bakery items, flexible pouches, or heavier containers, the Side Load Case Packer ensures efficient and precise product handling, making it the perfect solution for automated food industry operations requiring speed, precision, and flexibility.
The Wrap Around Case Packer is engineered to handle a broad range of pharmaceutical products for secondary packaging in trays, two-piece trays with lids, or wrap-around shelf-ready cases. This system is designed to maximize space while enhancing the efficiency of the packaging line and increasing throughput, making it ideal for high-volume pharmaceutical production environments.
The Wrap Around Case Packer combines case erecting, loading, and closing into one compact machine footprint, optimizing floor space in cleanroom environments. Its design significantly reduces packaging line costs by minimizing both floor space and packaging material usage. Built for GMP-compliant pharmaceutical operations, the system supports continuous high-speed operation while maintaining 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, ensuring secure, efficient, and traceable packaging processes essential for pharmaceutical production.
The Top Load Case Packer is specifically designed for handling flexible or difficult-to-handle pharmaceutical products in groups, loading them into trays or cases with precision. The system features customised multi-pick grippers, including a mechanical gripper for picking bags, pouches, or containers, and a vacuum gripper for handling sealed trays, flow packs, bottles, or diagnostic kits. A combination of mechanical and vacuum grippers can also be used, ensuring optimal flexibility in handling various product types.
Ideal for automated pharmaceutical production lines, this system excels in environments with high throughputs, handling challenging products while meeting cleanroom requirements and operating efficiently in space-constrained areas. Built to meet GMP standards and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, the Top Load Case Packer provides reliable, secure, and traceable performance for demanding pharmaceutical operations, ensuring product integrity and safety.
The Horizontal Cartoner is a highly flexible system designed for loading pharmaceutical products, such as flow-wrapped items, into cartons with high throughput or in multiple formats. This versatile machine handles the entire packaging process within a single compact footprint, making it ideal for efficient pharma production lines.
The system performs key functions including carton erecting, product collation, product loading, leaflet insertion, and carton closing using either tuck closure or hot melt glue. With built-in flexibility to manage various formats, the Horizontal Cartoner ensures smooth, continuous operation while minimizing operator intervention.
Designed for facilities with GMP compliance and requiring 21 CFR Part 11 standards, the system is perfect for pharmaceutical environments demanding high-speed packaging, product safety, and traceability, all within a robust, automated solution.
The Top Load Cartoner is designed to efficiently receive and collate a wide variety of food products, including flow packs, bottles, sachets, carton-board sleeves, and other difficult-to-handle items, before loading them into automatically erected cartons. This system offers flexibility by integrating stations for leaflet or insert placement, allowing for seamless insertion of IFUs or promotional material before the carton is securely closed using either fold & tuck or hot melt glue.
Once the cartons are closed, they are automatically directed to an outfeed conveyor for downstream case packing and palletising, ensuring a smooth and continuous flow through the packaging process. Built to support multiple flat blank carton formats, the machine offers exceptional versatility for various packaging needs, whether handling large or small products.
