Before engaging with RML, Dairy Goat had been packing goat milk infant formula powder in Hamilton NZ and shipping the cans with a standard snap cap to Korea where a deeper lid with a built-in scoop was being applied. This posed challenges around maintaining sterility and was resulting in having an unnecessary second scoop present within the powder.
The customer wanted to take back control of the process, reduce cost and remove the second cap which was causing some customer confusion.
The solution was based on a previous design but refined in collaboration with Dairy Goat to meet their requirements. The machine could be removed and re-installed into the production line when Dairy Goat was producing this specific infant formula. It was lowered to improve ergonomics, a QA station was added to check the cap had been applied correctly and we introduced a rejector to remove any bad cans so they could be reworked. During the design phase RML added checks to ensure each cap contained a scoop as an extra QA feature prior to the cap application.
In this instance, RML have a reputation for providing unique/custom type of automations and our credentials with food safety standards came to the fore.
Our lidding solution included an infeed and outfeed which could communicate upstream and downstream and, as is often the case with our more modern machines we can ‘remote-in’ and have our automation engineers diagnose and troubleshoot issues before they impact production schedules.
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.
