In 2018, Synlait found themselves let down by a supplier and asked RML to create a semi-automatic capper for them with an 18-week lead time. The brief was to deliver a machine capable of orientating infant formula cans and caps so that the cap was always applied in a specific orientation to the can artwork. This semi-automatic solution ran reliably for three years at which time Synlait engaged RML again to deliver a fully automated solution to descramble caps and apply them to the cans in a specific orientation at a rate of 130 cans per minute.
The RML solution for this application was to separate the system into two different machines connected by line conveying that also delivered uncapped cans and transported away the completed product. One of the key machines in this line was the G104 Cap Sorter.
The G104 Cap Sorter has a hygienically designed Hopper and Conveyor feed system capable of holding approximately 2000 caps that are slowly presented to a flighted elevator conveyor. Caps are then singulated and presented label-side up through the elevator before exiting the machine in a single file at a rate of approximately 160 caps per minute.
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
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.
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.
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.
IF YOU HAVE A PRODUCTION CHALLENGE,
WE’D LOVE TO SOLVE IT.
