One line, more than ten formats

Fully automatic jerrycan line for engine oil

During the PPMA exhibition in Birmingham, we came into contact with a motor oil manufacturer. 22 months later, our first major project in the UK was up and running: a fully automated filling line for jerry cans.

Focus on flexibility: the Flexpicker

The producer handles more than 10 different packaging formats, which requires maximum flexibility. The Flexpicker automatically and faultlessly places every pack in the right direction on the conveyor belt, without a single format set. Switching to a new format? That takes just one minute.

Full line construction

Besides the Flexpicker, the line consists of the following machines:

  • Eight-head servo piston filling machine - accurately fills volumes from 150 ml to 5 litres.
  • ECO 1 Servo-controlled closing machine - closes automatically with six servo drives.
  • Casepakcer - automatically packs jerry cans into US folding boxes.
