Company
This project was developed for a company specialising in the manufacture and sale of dehydrated food and dietary mixes. As part of an initiative to increase productivity on a cup production line, the company contacted JYGA for an automatic case-packing solution.
Project & solution
To meet this requirement, JYGA recommended a wrap-around case packer for close-fitting shelf-ready cases.
The cups arrive from an existing filling machine. They are taken up in line and released in batches of four to prepare a row. At the same time, flat cardboard blanks are formed between chain lugs, and the products are loaded using a 6-axis articulated robot. The robot picks batches of cups using a suction-cup gripper.
Once the case is full, its final flaps are folded and glued. The closed case is then labelled and discharged for manual pickup.
