Like most companies, Primo was looking for an automation solution to improve efficiency on the production line. To do this, they required a solution that could release the human potential that was hand-packing on this line and put it to better use in other areas of their business.
To assist Primo in achieving this objective, we customised a solution based on our standard Wraparound case packing machine, which provided them with a cheaper and more effective option in their packaging automation.
The solution drew on methods proven over our 40 years in the business of providing automation solutions, and an in-depth understanding of the plant parameters, units per day and consumables.
As seen in the video, the infeed involves a flighted conveyor that works off two servo motors and a 2-Axis Delta robot. This allows a continuous flow of infeed products with manageable intermittent handling to allow time to package the product. We had used the foundation machinery and automation technology before, which allowed us to easily tailor it to meet the specific requirements of the various thermo formed packs. Our engineers also helped to redesign the perforation lines and artwork on the cases to further assist Primo in improving their production efficiency.
RML have an amazing team of people. They were easy to work with and were happy to assist with any problems we encountered during the design and commissioning process.
We’ve been so impressed by the level of service and quality of machinery that RML have built for us. With such an efficient machine, we’ve had no problem keeping up with production times and demands.
Working with RML on an innovative solution was straightforward. Their in-house expertise in all aspects of the design and build added value to the project delivery process and made some tough challenges easier to overcome.
Our experience working with RML has been positive. We feel we received value for our investment.
The machine provided by RML has to date, resulted in consistent high-quality product for SNPshot Technologies and guaranteed production costs.
We saw a 30% increase in line speed and output as a result of the RML equipment
The trust and reliance that has grown from this project has us achieving numnbers we previously did not think would be possible. We will be searching for opportunities to collaborate with RML in future.
Our integrated, advanced operation ensures the best quality cream cheese is produced consistently.
It was an opportunity to increase the packing line automation, with labour savings offsetting the capital costs.
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.
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.
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
IF YOU HAVE A PRODUCTION CHALLENGE,
WE’D LOVE TO SOLVE IT.
