Saputo is one of Australia’s largest dairy processors and with this project they previously had operators hand packing in 70/80-degree heat at their Kiewa plant in northeast Victoria. Our brief was to automate the cartoning of 2kg bags of hot cream cheese into a skillet carton, to eliminate downtime and repetitive strain on staff.
Saputo had heard about RML expertise with such a tricky product from a similar installation we had carried out for Fonterra in New Zealand.
Our solution used a combination of delicate pushers and a vacuum system to pull the bags through the automation.
Our in-feed system had to carefully hold the sides of the bags in place throughout the operation including through an elevation. Check out our video below. If we can manage liquids and sugar as we have done for decades, it’s very likely we can rise to your own specific challenge. We would love to hear about your specific needs, and we always work through return on Capex investment as a matter of course.
This cartoner provided a starting point for a larger turn-key solution which could do 6 cartons in one shipper. This one included a spiral elevator to allow for even better operator access.
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.
