Approximately 10 years ago this customer came looking for speed, efficiency, and a quick return on their automated packaging investment. Since then, we have built, installed, and maintained a steady stream of solutions across their huge range of products on both sides of the Tasman Sea.
The brief here was to pack 2 sizes of Spice Jars (shrink wrapped in 6’s for the smaller jars and in 3 for the larger SKUs).
One key challenge to overcome was the in-feed system which we had to shorten to fit into a tight factory footprint. In this case we needed to incorporate a side sweep.
We specified our hugely reliable 2-axis Hawk robot to provide fast, precise, and smooth movement of product into the cardboard blank. Shrink wrapped packs of jars are conveyed, collated, side shifted and swept into the awaiting Wrap Around Case.
As a value-add, we recommended that this customer took our low-touch Glue solution which allows glue beads to flow into the Melter via a vacuum transfer system. This removes the need for an operator to get close to the potentially hazardous hot glue.
RML has adapted to working internationally over the last 10-15 years as technology advancements have removed borders. We now build-in camera and HMI (Human Machine Interface) systems with VPN connections to troubleshoot issues before they impact on production schedules. For many international customers we use a blend of experienced RML technicians and locally based contractors to ensure that our machines are up and running faultlessly from the get-go.
Our practical ‘get it done’ approach has brought us a huge amount of repeat business over the years and in this case, MARS added a Palletiser system to complete their line.
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.
