What our customers say

We needed to replace equipment that had become obsolete and, above all, move away from a multi-format line that was still highly manual. As a family-owned, independent cheese producer established in 1912, we needed a robust and flexible solution. With JYGA, we installed two wrap-around case packers dedicated to Camembert, handling both boxed and paper-wrapped products, to improve consistency, accommodate format changeovers and secure our end-of-line operation. Beyond the machines themselves, what made the difference was the quality of the collaboration: regular discussions, rapid adjustments and continuous technical support from the JYGA teams through to start-up. The result is an automated, stable and more dependable end-of-line system.

Our objective was simple: automate the entire line, from the freezer outfeed through to palletising. With JYGA PROCESS, we robotised production and integrated a wrap-around case packer. For us, this was a major change because we had previously used RSC cases and all packaging operations were manual. The result was higher throughput and OEE, lower-cost wrap-around cases, better pallet stability thanks to the interlocking cases, and fast format changeovers on a reliable machine. Designed for 1 tonne/hour, the line meets the specification and can reach 1.2 tonnes/hour. We are very satisfied.

In 2022, at DESTINATION BIO in Bordeaux, we needed to replace a line that had become obsolete. As part of a continuous-improvement approach and to anticipate our customers' future needs, we redefined the specification for a higher-performance line. Our case supplier introduced us to JYGA so that we could move to a wrap-around solution, and both the technical relevance of the proposal and the partnership approach made the difference. Today, the wrap-around case packer is so simple that you barely notice it: format changeovers take five minutes and operation is much smoother in our new production facility. The carbon-offset option, through tree planting in France, also fits our values as an organic B Corp-certified business.

Laïta is a dairy cooperative with six industrial sites in western France. Laïta has always sought to improve and optimise its production resources, and automation forms part of this industrial-development strategy. We completely redesigned our equipment and decided to replace two lines with a single production line featuring automatic case packing. We remain optimistic. There will undoubtedly be new directions for the business, and it is up to us to adapt.

At RIANS, palletising our trays was still a manual process: it required a great deal of time and effort, and the end of line was struggling to keep pace with changing production needs. With JYGA's Pal'it Air, we found a genuinely flexible solution: it handles different case and pallet formats without lengthy reconfiguration. Its compact footprint was decisive in our congested workshop, and human-machine collaboration is reassuring because the safety sensors allow the cobot to work close to operators. The gripper provides both precision and gentle handling. Ultimately, the investment paid for itself quickly: throughput increased, working conditions improved significantly, and the system is simple and reliable to use every day.

Dairy packaging: case packers and cartoners

For dairy product packaging, JYGA supplies automatic case packers, wrap-around case packers and cartoners.

Wrap-around case packers and cartoners

A specialist in wrap-around case packing since 1992, JYGA has developed extensive expertise in grouping products within full or partial secondary packaging. JYGA wrap-around case packers and cartoners pack dairy products using flat cardboard blanks, including product loading and pack closing within the same equipment.

JYGA case packers are compact and optimised for integration into dairy production areas. Their ergonomic design combines a small footprint with excellent accessibility and straightforward operation.

Automatic case packers for pre-formed cases

JYGA also designs top-load case packers for dairy plants, loading products into pre-formed cases. The machine receives the formed cases and uses an automated loading system to insert the products. A case closer can be integrated directly before the filled case is discharged.

JYGA automatic case packers can be installed downstream of an existing case former or supplied with an integrated case former.

Dairy packaging: cartoning and sleeving

For cartoning, sleeving and top-band application, JYGA develops dedicated overwrapping equipment for dairy products such as yoghurt and butter. These machines can provide:

Sleeve application: wrapping or grouping one or more products using a pre-glued cardboard sleeve.
Top-band application: grouping products, typically pots, using a cardboard band applied from above.

JYGA machines use high-capacity magazines for sleeve or top-band blanks. These magazines provide long production autonomy without stopping the machine for frequent reloading.

Format changeovers are automatic and the equipment is controlled through an ergonomic, user-friendly HMI.

These solutions are customised and scalable, allowing them to adapt as throughput requirements evolve.

Dairy packaging: robotic palletisers

JYGA palletising cells meet the requirements of dairy product palletising. Robotic palletisers use end-of-arm tools suited to each product and can handle closed cases, open trays, yoghurt pots, and products grouped with top bands or sleeves.

Designed by JYGA, these end-of-arm tools provide reliable product pick-up and placement. Pallet patterns are managed directly from the HMI using JY’TOOL. The software optimises product arrangement on the pallet and transfers the required robot trajectories automatically.

Example: palletising yoghurt pots

Dairy packaging requires precision and efficiency to maintain the quality of finished products. JYGA robotic palletisers provide a reliable response to these requirements. The following application illustrates the benefits achieved for a dairy manufacturer.

The company and the project

The customer specialises in dairy processing and needed to automate the palletising process for batches of yoghurt pots in three different formats. JYGA’s task was to identify the most suitable solution while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.

Solution and results

Following a detailed assessment, JYGA recommended an automatic single-line robotic palletiser, selected for its suitability to the application and available space.

The palletising cell incorporated a 4-axis palletising robot with a vacuum plate end-of-arm tool, a tilting layer-pad magazine, an integrated marking system for precise batch tracking, a row-preparation conveyor for product organisation, and a conveyorised palletising station to maintain continuous flow.

The robotic palletising solution delivered significant improvements in productivity and efficiency. All three yoghurt-pot formats were handled smoothly, reducing downtime and handling errors. The integrated marking system also provided optimum traceability, strengthening product quality and batch security.

This application demonstrates how dairy packaging machinery can address the sector’s requirements. Productivity, quality and traceability benefits make automated solutions particularly valuable for manufacturers looking to optimise dairy packaging operations.

Complete dairy packaging lines

For a complete end-of-line revamp, JYGA can support dairy manufacturers from sleeving through to palletising. JYGA manages the entire end-of-line system and applies its expertise to product flows and communication between equipment.

Working with trusted partners, JYGA can also integrate equipment for labelling, inspection and weighing.

Made in France dairy packaging machines

JYGA dairy packaging machines are designed and assembled in western France in a workshop of more than 1,000 m². The company works with French and local suppliers that share the same human and environmental values.

JYGA machines meet the quality and performance requirements of the dairy industry, delivering reliable and robust end-of-line packaging systems.
