MARS Petcare had been hand-packing cartons into shipping cases at their Wanganui, NZ operation. They came to us with 2 main objectives – cost savings and the need for speed and efficiency in their packaging automation.
As they automated the line, they took the opportunity to upgrade from RSC’s (Regular Slotted Cartons) to the cheaper, more effective and easier to ship option of wrap-around casing.
The product was to be shipped globally in a variety of carton quantities (a 4, 6 or 12 pack), and we were careful to design a machine that could be easily set up from format to format.
As we had been working with MARS in both Australia and New Zealand for over a decade, there was an inherent trusted working relationship. The process flowed smoothly through our 5 stage process: Solution Design > Build > Install > Support and Maintenance.
We specified a high-speed infeed system, as you can see in the video, plus servo-controlled pushers, a case indexing drive and a 2-axis pick and place robot, plus a side-shift module.
Once we have had an initial discussion with you and understand the quantity of shifts, numbers of operators, and your specific packaging requirements, we can quickly create a business case covering the return on your capital investment.
We have found RML to be a professional automation solutions provider dedicated to developing, building and maintaining our sophisticated equipment. Their open and honest approach has resulted in very positive outcomes for us.
From the first day we sat down with the RML team, through to today, we’ve been so impressed by the level of service and quality of machinery that they have built for us.
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.
The design process went very smoothly, start up and commissioning went better than we anticipated. We have found the RML team to be professional, proactive and very responsive to questions and quick to resolve any problems for us.
Of all of the types of packers that we have on site (past and present) the RML packers have proven to be the most reliable, and easiest to maintain.
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
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.
Our integrated, advanced operation ensures the best quality cream cheese is produced consistently.
The background of RML and their ability to automate our process ticked all the boxes
IF YOU HAVE A PRODUCTION CHALLENGE,
WE’D LOVE TO SOLVE IT.
