Bespoke Smurfit Kappa Machine Systems robotic palletisation system for microwave ovens
Robotic wraparound case packer for handling conventional carton products in horizontal and vertical formats.
“Here at Smurfit Kappa we use two, three, four and six axis robots often combining them into a single system to give our customers the best possible packaging solution. Machine design is very much simplified as robotics significantly reduce the number of components required within the machine, thus improving all round visibility and access for operators and technicians. The use of robotics is not only confined to primary product handling; they have been incorporated into our machinery for handling secondary packaging, removing cases directly from the pallet and forming them within the machine prior to product loading. We also supply end of line palletising systems using six axis robots from internationally renowned suppliers”.
ACCOMMODATING PACKING NEEDS
Smurfit Kappa Machine Systems robotic solutions can be fitted with integrated vision systems for product detection, orientation and quality control. This multi- tasking capability eliminates duplication and repetitive tasks such as product turning and specialised product coding. Packaging robotics designed by Smurfit Kappa are highly adaptable, accommodating customers’ packing needs both now and in the future and are designed to be easily programmed to accommodate new products, sizes, collations and pallet patterns when needed. Machine footprints are also reduced, making them ideal for integration into existing production and palletising areas.
Smurfit Kappa Machine Systems are long term leaders in the specialist design and manufacture of all types of case packing equipment and are part of the worldwide Smurfit Kappa Group that operates in more than 30 countries globally. With about 350 production sites producing 5.3 million tonnes of
