ndoline, one of the UK’s leading end of line systems manufacturer, has been engineering machinery for many years that has feature sets identified as key components of Industry 4.0. “Fromamanufacturer’s perspective, Industry 4.0may seemrevolutionary and something that only larger companies will ultimately adopt,” comments Keith
Habben, engineeringmanager at Endoline Machinery. “However, over several years there has been a general shift in the adoption of highly intelligent, Industry 4.0 compatible, end of line machinery.” This gradual implementation has largely been down to demands from manufacturers for increasingly high spec systems that will satisfy the evolving needs of retailers and consumers. As the requirement for random sized casing at higher speeds has risen, so too have the technical abilities of end of line systems. Companies are looking beyond the functionality of what equipment can provide, a
nd machinery is their capital
now an integral part of the management of the whole production life cycle. “Our solutions are designed to
accommodate speeds of up to 30 cases per minute whilst adapti ng to mu tiple

Debuted at the PPMA Show lastmonth, and initially designed to work with machines in the egg industry, the
compact 2518 Case Erector was integrated into the egg grading, packing and processing equipment of globally
differing case sizes,” adds Habben. “Our customers require us to provide a fit for purpose solution which enables them to leverage as much information as they need from their investment.”

Endoline has recently launched a new slimline Case Erector – almost half the width of current case erecting systems, said to be the narrowest on the market .

ne of the largest suppliers of soft and stone fruits in th Mockbeggar Ltd, has seen a dramatic increase in produ
ctivity at its e UK,
farm pack house in Rochester, Kent after installing a Sienna Horizontal Flowrapper from ULMA Packaging. The company’s growers produce around 435 tonnes of rhubarb per annum, which is now being packed by ULMA’s Sienna Flowrapper at a rate of up to 3,500 packs a day during the peak season in March and April.
Joao Estanqueiro Le, Mockbeggar’s pack house manager, says the packaging process of the fruit, which can come in random lengths, has
renownedmachinerymanufacture Moba. Integral to the design are technical components engineered to connect directly with Moba equipment, and Endoline has synchronised several key features, including the control and alarm panels. The 2518 Case Erector can be seamlessly integrated to work with all egg-packing systems, for an inline, fully automated turnkey operation, enabling greater efficiency for the customer. With an approximate 40 per cent widt h reduction on Endoline’s standard case erectors, the 2518 measures just one metre wide by two metres long. Working at a speed of up to 10 cases per minute, the machine has been fitted with the company’s dual opposing vacuum system to ensure heavy cases are opened positively from both sides, eliminating tearing or issues associated with glue migration on new cases.

been transformed since the Sienna was installed. What used to take a whole day of manual labour is now ready for shipping in half the time. He adds: “We did compare suppliers but knew of ULMA and went to see thei action. We liked the robust co
of operation. The equipment has made a huge
difference to our productivity and their after-sales service is also excellent. We would go to ULMA again if in the market for packaging machinery and I would recommend themto others.”
The Sienna is available in both flowrap and shrink wrap versions for loose, irregular shaped products in polypropylene or polyolefin films. It has a touch screen operation withmulti-product m ory, whichmeans that changeovers can be made quickly and simply at the press of a button. The machine also benefits from‘no product - no bag’ and ‘misplaced product detection’ systems, as well as working with clear and printed film. In addition to the Sienna ULMA, part of a global co-operative, has a range of high quality equipment for packaging fruit and vegetables, including the TSA 680 P and TSA 875 P automatic tray sealers specifically developed for the fresh produce industry. The company also has new vertical form fill and seal (VFFS) technology
em gy in the pipeline.
With increasing demand for British grown produce, versatile packaging gy is needed for reducing the need for manual labour by packing a variety of product sizes in the shortest possible time. Retailers are demanding that suppliers in the fresh produce industry not only have packaging systems in place that protect the integrity of goods and offer excellent presentation, but can also accelerate the process of getting them to stores as well as prolong shelf life.
