With the latest advancements in Industry 4.0, there is an increasing number of developments coming to the market that address the need of automation particularly in the packaging industry. Nasik-based Technoshell Automation is a leading manufacturer and supplier of hot foil embossing, plastic tube capping and label applicator systems. With the increasing use of robotics that are integrated into packaging machinery and systems, the company has extended the capacities of its tube packer to operate robotically along with other machines that will be exhibited at Hall 4 Stand B14 in the upcoming K 2016 to be held from 19 to 26 October in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Speaking to Packaging South Asia, Tanmay Bhaste, marketing executive at Technoshell, says, “At K 2013, Technoshell displayed a high-speed tube packing machine integrated with closure systems. We will emphasize the ‘Make in India’ initiative with our state-of-the-art foil stamping and packaging machines at K 2016. We will be launching Robotic Tube Packer, RTP-150, which meets the growing need for automation in end-of-line operations.”
The RTP-150 is a high-speed, automatic machine which transfers tubes from the out-feed conveyor of a capping machine and places it into boxes. By using 6-axis robotic arms, the machine can easily move back and forth and in vertical directions to locate the tubes at a speed of up to 150 tubes a minute. The machine has been designed to hygienically pack a wide variety of extruded and laminate tubes into boxes. For different tube diameters, the tooling required for the machine is less and changeover is possible at a faster rate.
Equipped with box loading and unloading conveyors, RTP-150 uses the latest PLCs and servo drive systems to ensure a tightly integrated series of robotic systems that require less manual intervention. Technoshell will also present the latest integrated machine for hot foil stamping of jar caps and similar cosmetic packaging items at the exhibition.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
