Solutions in action

Langen Group* chooses the automation of Rockwell Automation, in virtue of the reliability of their control systems, recognized at world level.

The Langen Group’s new C-1000™ H is robust cartoning machine built to the latest key standards for hygienic secondary packaging. At 7.5 m long and 2 m wide, it is capable of packaging over 250 cartons a minute.
It includes features for hygienic machine design and construction and minimal horizontal surfaces to reduce debris accumulation, while reduced components, surface areas and cabinet penetrations all decrease particle harbourage and its cleanable coatings facilitate sanitation. In addition to the hygienic design, standard functional components include an ergonomic, extended carton magazine and quick change features.
The machine offers very efficient cartoning coupled with extraordinary end product quality resulting in better shelf appearance.

Langen Group extensively uses Allen-Bradley® programmable automation controllers (PAC), Allen-Bradley Kinetix® servo drives, Allen-Bradley PanelView™ HMIs, motor controllers, I/O devices, signalling devices, safety-related products and sensors. Jos de Boer, Director Global Marketing, explains the reasoning behind the deployment of products from Rockwell Automation: «There is a global acceptance of Rockwell Automation products and this has enabled Langen to provided Allen-Bradley products to a wide variety of customers, who can also benefit from eased maintenance and troubleshooting, including remote maintenance, reduced training time, reduced changeover time, improved personnel/ machine safety and minimized installation and start-up times. As a result, by using Langen equipment with Rockwell Automation controls, customers are able to lower their manufacturing costs and improve production efficiencies».
