Moondarra approached us in 2016 with 3 crucial goals: to create a better looking, shelf-ready product, to reduce processing cost, and to reduce reliance on human labour in the factory. The owner needed automated technology which could handle 1kg packs of soft cream cheese pouches in a high-hygiene and temperature-controlled environment.
We needed to ensure that the finished perforated boxes would look amazing on the shelf and that each one had ‘best before’ and batch coding information all integrated.
The solution drew on methods proven over 40 years in the business for RML and an in-depth understanding of the plant parameters, units per day and consumables.
The infeed involves a flighted conveyor that works off two different servo motors and a 2 Axis Delta robot. This allows a continuous flow of infeed product with manageable intermittent handling to allow time to package the product. We had used the foundation machinery and automation technology before, and we customised it to meet the specific requirements of cream cheese packaging. Our engineers even helped to redesign the perforation lines and artwork.
The solution has proven so successful that the Moondarra owners have come back to RML for a second machine to handle 5 different products. We also supply this customer with long-term service and parts service.
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.
