Wrap-Around Case Packing for Wrapped Cheese

Company

This application was developed for a French food group, a world leader specialising in dairy processing.
The company wanted to improve the performance of its production equipment and contacted us to automate the case-packing station for film-wrapped cheeses.

The horizontal case packer had to receive products and stacks of flat cardboard blanks, form the cases and supports, pack the products, close the cases, integrate a case labeller, stack the cases and present the case stacks to an existing elevator.
For this project, the company was looking for a reliable partner in terms of performance and deadlines, with proven expertise in designing end-of-line packaging systems.

Project & solution

To meet this requirement, JYGA recommended the installation of a wrap-around case packer for a custom case. The machine includes a magazine and cardboard destacker, a product batch management and preparation module, a product-loading module with an articulated robot, and a case-discharge module.

Special features:
The case packer had to integrate an existing labeller supplied by the customer. At the outfeed, the cases had to be stacked for presentation to an elevator.
The case included a reinforcement that had to be added before the products were loaded.
