Dairy Goat faced the significant challenge of transitioning their sachet packing process from an external co-packer to an in-house operation. This move aimed to increase their control over production and boost output volumes. Specifically, Dairy Goat needed to pack two different-sized sachets, which varied slightly in weight, into three distinct box formats, a four-pack and six-pack configurations for each size. Consistently stacking these sachets posed a particular challenge, exacerbated by the absence of production sachets, as the sachet filler was still en route from Europe. This required an extensive engineering phase, of prototyping and trialling to establish an effective collation method before the project could advance.
RML provided a comprehensive solution, which involved integrating a standard cartoner equipped with a specialised collator. The solution worked by conveying single-file sachets to the cartoner, where they were stacked into either four-pack or six-pack formations, then pushed into cartons and glue closed for shipping. Key components of the equipment included a bag equaliser to flatten and even the powder within each sachet for optimal stacking, and a sequencer to count and stack the sachets accurately. The equipment was engineered as part of a new production line for Dairy Goat, ensuring seamless integration with upstream and downstream machinery. As a result, Dairy Goat gained full control over their production line, enabling them to manage volumes and sizes efficiently and reduce costs previously incurred by outsourcing packing to a co-packer.
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.
