AUTOPACK has reported a ‘keen interest’ in its automated solutions at the recent Packaging Innovations & Empack exhibition.
The firm revealed that liquid filling and coffee pack solutions generated the most enquiries.
Autopack used the event to launch its new video documenting a ‘nose to tail’ packaging automation project with edible oils specialist KTC. The video, also available online and YouTube, detailed the firm’s approach to challenging packaging applications and the results this delivers for clients.
On the stand was one of Autopack’s recent big sellers: a semi-automatic bucket machine, alongside a SV30-USD sealer, an A100 with a four-head mini weigher, a DV1100 depositor operating with a gated conveyor, and a mini auger.
“There was so much interest in automation at the show, which gave us an excellent understanding in how the sector is shifting right now,” said UK sales director Jonathon Stewart. “Businesses are looking to become more efficient in their operations, and our approach can help them. We can enable them to become smarter, faster and more efficient.”
While automation is a major selling point, Autopack explained that firms can take initial steps through semi-automating their operation and building up to more complex solutions.
The company’s ability to design and install a fully automated line was demonstrated through its project for KTC. The original brief for the edible oils manufacturer was to fill two bottle formats (0.5-litre and one-litre) at 120 bottles per minute. However, the job grew and Autopack automated the entire packing, filling, and fulfilment process.
“It reinforces our message that ‘this is what we do’,” added Jonathon. “We take complex production challenges and turn them into high performance, fully integrated lines that deliver real, measurable change.
“We are also meticulous in how we pick our suppliers for each project. Because we are totally independent, we can select the best-in-class technology for the job and bring it together as an integrated project. Performance, fully integrated lines that deliver real, measurable change.”
