Packaging

Integrated packaging solutions that fill, seal, label, and case products with speed, accuracy, and minimal waste.

Product Overview

Our packaging systems provide end-of-line solutions that prepare products for distribution and sale. These systems include fillers for bottles, cans, kegs, and containers; capping and sealing equipment; labeling systems; and case packing automation. Designed for flexibility and quick changeovers, our packaging solutions handle diverse container types while maintaining high speeds and accuracy. Integration with upstream processing and downstream palletizing creates seamless production flow.

Key Benefits

Product Breakdown

  • Bottle and Can Fillers: Rotary fillers (6-120 heads) handling 50-800 containers per minute with volumetric, gravity, or counter-pressure filling for beer, wine, spirits, and beverages achieving ±0.5-2% fill accuracy
  • Keg Filling Systems: Multi-head keg washers, fillers, and cappers processing 10-60 kegs/hour with automated tracking, CIP cleaning, and CO2 purging for craft breweries and beverage producers
  • Capping and Sealing Equipment: Chuck, spindle, or snap-cap machines (100-600 caps/min) with torque monitoring (±10% accuracy), induction sealers, and cork finishing for bottles, jars, and flexible packaging
  • Labeling Systems: Pressure-sensitive, glue, or sleeve labelers applying front, back, and neck labels at speeds of 50-500 containers/minute with registration sensors ensuring ±1mm placement accuracy
  • Case Packing and Palletizing: Robotic or conventional case packers (5-40 cases/min) with automated case erectors, product collating, and palletizers (up to 150 cases/hour) creating stable pallet patterns
  • Inspection and Quality Systems: Vision systems checking fill level (±2mm), cap presence, label position, and code verification with automated rejection (air blast or pusher) removing non-conforming products at line speed

Technical Details

  • Filling Valves: Pneumatic or servo-driven valves with 316L stainless steel construction, EPDM or silicone seals, and CIP-compatible design featuring anti-drip systems and product recovery for minimal waste
  • Container Handling: Stainless steel or UHMW plastic star wheels, timing screws, and conveyor systems with adjustable guides accommodating container diameters from 40-150mm and heights from 80-400mm with tool-free changeover
  • Capping Systems: Magnetic or friction clutch torque heads applying 5-50 in-lbs with ±5% repeatability, featuring cap elevator bowls (100-500 caps/min feed rate) and cap presence verification sensors
  • Label Application: Servo-driven label dispensers with dancer arm or vacuum drum systems providing precise label placement at speeds up to 500 labels/minute with hot melt or cold glue application options
  • Vision Inspection: High-resolution cameras (2-12 megapixels) with LED or laser illumination checking 100% of production at line speeds, interfacing with reject systems responding within 50-200 milliseconds
  • Line Control: Integrated PLC systems managing line accumulation, product tracking, OEE monitoring, and recipe changeovers with Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or Rockwell platforms providing SCADA integration and remote diagnostics
