Challenge

Parmalat Foods had a few challenges with this project which were all around space.

We were tasked with replacing 2x existing hand-pack lines with 2x Wraparound Case Packer machines. Access into and out of the area was very tight and standard wraparound machines were simply too long for the area available to us.

Solution

We worked with the Parmalat engineering and production teams on a few layout scenarios and came up a solution that was both operable and functional.

We took our standard Wraparound Case Packing machine and reoriented the magazine and plucking mechanisms to operate at 90 degrees to the machine. This shortened the machines by a significant amount and gave the operators space to store and load cardboard blanks into the magazine.

To create walk-around space at the end of the machines we incorporated case elevators and overhead conveying to transition the boxes to the existing palletiser.
