Wrap-Around Case Packer for Coffee Sachets
Product
Coffee sachet
Packaging
Company
The customer wanted to significantly improve the productivity of its coffee-sachet packaging process while optimising the use of space in its factory. The main objective was to move to a fully automated case-packing solution capable of handling different sachet formats, including ground coffee and coffee beans, at high throughput. The solution also had to provide greater reliability, reduce manual intervention and enable accurate traceability of the packed products.
Project & solution
To meet these requirements, JYGA proposed installing a wrap-around case packer, a fully automated solution adaptable to the different coffee-sachet formats. The machine is equipped with a 6-axis case-packing robot and interchangeable suction-cup grippers for fast and precise product handling.
The case packer includes an accumulation conveyor for batch management, an automatic flat-blank placement system and a hot-melt glue unit for accurate case folding and gluing. The machine also incorporates a folding section, a case-closing system and a gravity conveyor for rejecting non-compliant cases.
The solution includes an industrial touchscreen terminal with an intuitive operator interface. Functions include rapid format selection, throughput management and detailed performance monitoring. Automated adjustments reduce format-change time to less than five minutes, minimising production interruptions.
By integrating this technology, the customer benefits from a reliable process, significantly less manual work and improved efficiency, while maintaining high safety and traceability standards.
