As is often the case, this project arose as Real Pet was struggling with two old machines which were at the end of their lifespan. These older ones were unable to deliver the vital ‘shelf-ready’ cartons which were being demanded by the Australian supermarkets.
Real Pet had been growing throughout the 2010’s with their well-loved brands of wet and dry dog and cat foods and it was business critical that their production kept up with demand growth.
The planning stages of this project required lots of collaboration with the Real Pet Marketing and NPD (New Product Development) teams to ensure it was future-proofed and capable of handling whatever new formulations, sizes and configurations would be thrown at it!
It all had to be managed within a tight factory footprint
All pet food tray formats were to be placed in shelf-ready cartons and the cartons placed into cases before being palletised.
RML utilised robotic and product transfer technology modules to produce a machine to create both top load cartons and RSC (Regular Slotted Container) case packed product in a very small footprint. See the video below.
This was a complex beast, but it proved so successful that Real Pet went on to order another machine specifically for the Aldi Supermarket chain with a cardboard lid which could be easily lifted off.
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.
