MMCI Engineers High Speed Beverage Filling and Packaging Line
When a major manufacturer of beverage products needed to expand their market share in the adult beverage business, they turned to MMCI to engineer a new custom filling and packaging line.
The Solution
From the concept phase, MMCI was tagged to design and engineer a seamless warehouse automation system that could be worked into the customer's existing operation. MMCI followed the planning phase with firm price proposals for a whole slew of new technology and equipment, from the empty case conveying to the brand new Wulftec stretch wrapping system for the customer's finished loads.
Employing a variety of conveyor systems from TWG Ermanco, MMCI designed the custom system to include roller and belt conveyors. A high speed automatic case palletizer from Columbia was selected to add speed and efficiency to the line. Handling over 60 cases per minute, the HL6000 delivers the beverages into tight, square, and easily stackable loads.
