Dry soup packaging line from Kliklok
June 18, 2010
When a global leader in the dry soup industry in Australia wanted to upgrade their packaging lines with new multi-lane high speed filling equipment, they sought an integrated loading & cartoning solution from Kliklok, with close support from Kliklok’s Australian agent ‘Perform’.
The line needed to accept sachets of dried soup from six lanes, at up to 70 sachets per lane. The Kliklok Prima end load cartoner was chosen for its compact design, robust stainless steel construction and 6” flight pitch.
For automatic loading and collation in 2’s and 4’s, an identical pair of Kliklok’s new Triplex Cascade Loaders was ordered. With rotary motion, driven by ‘stepper style’ servo motors, these were the preferred choice over the reciprocating motion of the plant’s existing bomb door loaders. Each Triplex loader was designed as a single unit, with a single HMI control system to mirror the 3 lane bagmaker systems that feed each one. An additional Duplex cascade loader was supplied to load the client’s existing end load cartoner, with a view to integrate with a new Kliklok cartoner in the future.
The line was customised to comply with the clients’ mechanical & electrical specification, with modified guarding, larger touch screens and extended carton magazine.
