Vitaco approached RML back in 2013 as they sought an automated process to package 2 completely different product formats using one machine. Almost 10 years later, and following careful servicing, we are once again upgrading with yet another newer packaging format.
Our ability to devise machines that can be continuously improved and upgraded means we often win projects from customers who are looking to futureproof their operations.
Vitaco needed a cartoner for both a 12-pack shelf-ready format and a 4-bar Pantry Pack and with the flexibility to manage bars ranging from 30 to 100 grams. They had installed a new line just 12 months before they approached us, and hand packing was proving unsustainable. Maximising factory floor space was a crucial factor in the design phase.
First, we designed an in-feed system that checked the pitching of the various bars to ensure none were touching on the flighted belt. Our robot then picked and loaded into pre-formed boxes which flowed into 2 separate closing modules: a tuck and close and a fully glued option.
This resulted in huge labour savings with just one operator able to monitor the HMI (Human Machine Interface) and load cardboard blanks into the machine.
2013 was the start of a long, business-critical, working relationship and we are delighted this is continuing today.
RML have an amazing team of people. They were easy to work with and were happy to assist with any problems we encountered during the design and commissioning process.
We’ve been so impressed by the level of service and quality of machinery that RML have built for us. With such an efficient machine, we’ve had no problem keeping up with production times and demands.
Working with RML on an innovative solution was straightforward. Their in-house expertise in all aspects of the design and build added value to the project delivery process and made some tough challenges easier to overcome.
Our experience working with RML has been positive. We feel we received value for our investment.
The machine provided by RML has to date, resulted in consistent high-quality product for SNPshot Technologies and guaranteed production costs.
We saw a 30% increase in line speed and output as a result of the RML equipment
The trust and reliance that has grown from this project has us achieving numnbers we previously did not think would be possible. We will be searching for opportunities to collaborate with RML in future.
Our integrated, advanced operation ensures the best quality cream cheese is produced consistently.
It was an opportunity to increase the packing line automation, with labour savings offsetting the capital costs.
RML worked with us to understand our requirements and designed a solution to suit our needs. RML delivered an automated system to service two moulding machines producing the Gallagher Ring Top Posts.
We set RML a challenge, design and build a new butter packing machine for a challenging application. RML produced a smart and effective solution that exceeded our expectations.
Ongoing service and support is important to us. RML knew this and I am pleased to say we are not disappointed. I have and will continue to recommend RML to others in our industry based on our experience
IF YOU HAVE A PRODUCTION CHALLENGE,
WE’D LOVE TO SOLVE IT.
