From full automation to modular packing lines, Autopack’ s expertise can make the difference
Autopack, the leading independent integrator of automated packaging lines, has a strong track record in providing tailored solutions to meet key customer challenges with equipment at every stage.
Boosting efficiency sustainably
Part of its success story is the ability to collaborate world-class manufacturing partners, providing customers in the food and beverage sector with solutions that enhance their operation, bolstering efficiency. One example is through Autopack’ s partnership with Barcelonabased SIDE, the leading manufacturer of PET blow moulding machinery. As SIDE’ s UK and Ireland distribution partner Autopack is seeing increased demand for blow moulding lines to produce PET bottles and containers in-situ. As an integral part of the production line, blow moulders offer significant cost and sustainability benefits to manufacturers. Pre-formed empty bottles no longer need shipping or storing avoiding the complex and costly logistical challenges for packing a wide range of goods.
Precision and performance
Precision and performance are also evident through Autopack’ s partnership with Italian equipment manufacturer Weightpack and its expertise in netweight filling for liquids. For example, in the ever-demanding dairy market Weightpack’ s systems are being used for extended shelf life / aseptic( UHT) fillers and cappers. Every solution is engineered with an eye on hygiene, precision, and performance, utilising Autopack’ s knowledge of UK manufacturing environments.
Weightpack’ s systems operate inside compact sterile chambers, fully isolated from non-sterile areas. Every internal component is designed to be washed and sanitised, maintaining a consistently secure and contaminantfree environment. The result is a robust decontamination process that eliminates potential contaminants and safeguards product integrity.
Modular approach
Not all packing line solutions need to be fully automatic. For example, products that require packing into buckets such as sauces, dry goods, snacks and confectionery are using Autopack’ s semi-automated bucket line. This is helping customers eliminate the manual effort of separating and orientating empty buckets from a stack, at a lower initial cost compared to a fully automatic system.
Working with Autopack users can design a bucket line suited to their specific needs. From bucket de-nesters, bucket sealers, filling systems, lid de-nesters and lid pressing rollers, each system can be specified to today’ s needs and added to later if required.
Trusted partner
Autopack’ s reputation rests on the proven automated benefits its turnkey lines deliver for customers time and again. From improved speed and efficiency in PET bottles to reduced costs and wastage in liquid filling or semi-automation in packing buckets, Autopack can meet the packaging automation challenges across the food sector and beyond.
