Our solutions for machines

A high level of flexibility for new product formats

When it comes to products in the beverage industry, consumers' wishes and requirements are constantly changing. The industry is known for its rapidly switching trends. This means great demands are placed on food producers and, therefore, on manufacturers of filling systems and packaging machines. To respond quickly to individual customer requirements, they need to be sure they can implement and deliver new machinery fast. Flexible machine modules make this possible.

Key goals

Flexible product formats

Fast response to new requirements and innovations, combined with the ability to handle a variety of product formats thanks to flexible machine modules.

Energy savings

Reducing energy requirements thanks to energy-efficient drive solutions and optimized planning and design.

Connectivity

Seamless networking of machinery by using future-proof Industry 4.0 solutions (IIoT solutions), standardized interfaces to MES and ERP systems via OMAC PackML, access to data using OPC-UA, and web-based visualization.

Filling machine

When it comes to filling machines, there are two key designs – rotary and linear. The principal task involves filling receptacles with a precise volume of liquids, which are of different viscosities and include both still and carbonated beverages. Simple dispensing systems are just as possible as the optimization of position, pressure and speed, all the way through to synchronized and interpolated movements.


Your requirement

  • Exact positioning for precise dispensing
  • Optimization of motion profiles
  • Fast, easy product switchover
  • Excellent hygiene and cleanability

Grouping station

The grouping station is where containers are positioned, rotated, moved and pre-grouped to form multipacks or layers for palletizing. Layers of varying distribution help stabilize the pallets. Both shifters and robotics solutions are used here.


Your requirements

  • A high level of precision and dynamics
  • Flexible, versatile grouping
  • Precise, positive palletizing

Palletizers

Palletizers and palletizing robots are process automation systems for automatically combining packs on load carriers. Essentially, there are four different designs – the articulated arm robot, the layer palletizer, the linear robot and the gantry palletizer. Pack size, pack weight and, in particular, the work envelope are key factors when it comes to machine functions and movements.


Your requirements

  • Handling heavy loads and different layers combined with container and layer detection
  • Precise control for the gentle transportation of containers
  • Lower energy requirements
