technical solution backed up by honest, specialist advice if its needs were to change in the future. “Brillopak has many years of experience in vacuum heads, which was
important, as controlling the suction on the bags was a key part of this project. This also gave us confidence that if in future, a customer wants to produce, say, a 1kg pack, we can easily change the head,” says McLachlan. The UniPAKer cell has been running successfully for over eight months
at Drysdales’ facility in Cockburnspath, Berwickshire. The flexible system is unphased by the multiple crate configurations required on this line, and is currently programmed to run 30 different patterns without the need for any tool changeovers. Manual intervention is limited to just one person to take away full crates, replace empty crates and perform quality checks. “We’ve achieved what we set out to at the start of the project and the
system does exactly what Brillopak promised it would do. Throughout the project they have been completely honest and really good and quick at coming up with solutions,” concludes McLachlan.
