END OF PACKAGING LINE DRY PART

FMCG producers must be always aligned to market trends in primary, secondary and tertiary packaging. There is a revolution going on in packaging demand as e-commerce and environmentally friendly solutions are being increasingly demanded by consumers.

This means that the end of the packaging line must consider market requirement regarding the handling of smaller sized packages – as ecommerce is demanding - or plastic free secondary packages in line with sustainability mandates.

Clevertech is capable of designing and supplying innovative end-of-line solutions that can meet both present and future requirements.

LAYERS PER MINUTE

At the end of the packaging line, the criteria used to measure system performances usually refers to the capability of palettization in layer per minute.

The logic behind this is simply due to the fact that secondary-packaged products are often of different dimensions and are delivered at different line speeds; both of which can affect the pallet layers and loading patterns.
Starting from low level, entry-point palettization, with robotic arms equipped with fork-type head, Clevertech can supply complete end-of-line solutions that can package up to 11 layers per minute.

PALLETIZING & STRETCHWRAPPING SOLUTIONS

FMCG producers need their end-of-line packaging system to be directly connected to warehouse management systems, which is supported by the use of advanced automation and tight integration with ERP systems too.

Clevertech can supply secondary and tertiary packaging machinery, which is designed and assembled using the same mechanical and electrical guidelines, with identical HMI interfaces, giving end users the ability to easily operate multiple machines and equipment.

For secondary packaging operations, Clevertech offers such as:

Bottles into cartons
Cans into cartons
Cases into cartons
Carton Erectors
Carton Sealers

Product handling and layer pattern formation can be achieved using:

Rollers with case stopper
Servo driven conveyors modules
Cartesian manipulators
Robotic

Pallet stretch wrapping can be:

Robotic platform
Robotic arm
Rotating ring

Products that Clevertech machine can handle include:

Cardboard of varying size
Bags
Trays
Bundles

The flexibility to handle both small and big products and the capability to palletize secondary packages with thin product dimensions, are a couple of typical requirements in palletization.

E-commerce supply chains are also changing product palletization requirements, as single serve packages are in high demand, coupled to a reduction of packaging materials.

At Clevertech these trends have already been addressed, thanks to close liaison and delivery of equipment to key multinationals in the FMCG and E-commerce sectors.

Line-flex or robot-flex configurations give end users complete flexibility for both small- and large-product handling.

The endless possibilities for layering and product picking guarantees suitable palletization of innovative packages, such as single serve portions and unwrapped product with minimal packaging material.
