EndFlexannounced the completion of a highly customized end-of-line system in an astonishing 20 weeks. Engineered for its client in the personal hygiene market, this fully automated system conveys bottled product into the Traypacker modular pick and place cell, where it is packed into a tray that is fully formed and sealed by dual Poplok tray formers. In the final stages, the boxxer all-in-one system forms, packs, and seals the loaded trays into cases before conveying them to the Z.Zag robotic palletizer, where the cases are precisely stacked for shipping.
This complex, integrated system was engineered to accommodate the client’s unique bottle shape, existing tray and case dimensions, and strict daily production goals. These factors necessitated using features such as simultaneous tray forming, a custom bottle infeed and tipping process with redesigned pick and place functionality, and specialized programming that allows the robotic palletizer to stack outgoing cases onto pallets and remove incoming cases from pallets when needed.
EndFlex packaging line to decrease labor costs of companies
“The combination of so many unique features in this packaging line presented a complex challenge, but we are used to completing custom projects after other vendors told the client that it couldn’t be done. Not only did our design and fabrication teams complete this project flawlessly, but the client was absolutely blown away by turnaround time and the precise functionality, said Jorge Perez, vice president of Operations at EndFlex. “The client is now able to increase production and delivery capacity dramatically. We anticipate this system design will be popular this year as companies look to decrease labor costs.”
EndFlexcan customize end-of-line solutions to meet almost any production need. Their case erecting, tray forming, case packing, and palletizing solutions can seamlessly integrate with other machines in the EndFlex family, including horizontal and vertical cartoning machines, case sealing machines, and various carton and case labelers.
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.
