End-of-line packaging by Robopac and OCME on stage in Paris

At ALL4PACK Robopac and OCME showcased their innovations among the main players at the event. The Aetna Group’ main brands presented some of the latest and most significant solutions for end-of-line packaging, offering a direct demonstration of their functioning.

Among the recent successes, the Robot S7: a self-propelled stretch wrapper with R-Connect technology, high packaging autonomy and Stop&Go function for immediate stop at obstacles and automatic restart. The version presented in Paris, is a PVS pre-stretch carriage with dual independent motors, with pre-stretch ratio adjustment from 0% to 500%, and integrates perfectly with the automation and digitalisation standards required by Industry 4.0, proving to be the ideal choice for handling products of any size, shape and weight.

Another flagship machine exhibited in Paris is Orbit R, a horizontal stretch wrapping machine with rotating ring that can be combined with integrated work cells or lines, offering the possibility of combining high speed with high performance.

The demonstration of a compact and automated end-of-line is entrusted to Prasmatic TC300 Combi, the combined shrink-wrapper and case packer here proposed in the version suitable for medium-speed productions, and to the WA 20-Wrap Around 20 compact stand-alone case packer by Sotemapack, with compact dimensions for speeds of up to 20 strokes/minute and alternating operation, available in various configurations including the combined version (tray and film or tray and lid).

Completing the end of the line is Integra, the automatic laser-guided vehicle with Natural Navigation system from the BU Robopac Machinery: small in size but capable of handling products for loads of up to 1500 kg. Moreover the system interacted with the automatic wrapping machine Technoplat TP, equipped with R-Connect technology and a gripper and film cutting unit with spreader that ensure the hooking, cutting and spreading of the film tail.
