Flexibility at the packing line

About the client

Our client is a prominent producer of both turkey and poultry meat. They have previously invested in Cabinplant Packing Lines designed for packaging fresh and marinated meat in trays, and decided to return to us, when needed a flexible packing line for IQF nuggets.

The challenge

The latest challenge our client faced was to develop a highly flexible packing line for their individually quick-frozen nuggets. These nuggets were intended to be packaged in two ways: in pillow bags and subsequently packed into trays, both with manual packing and machine packing. This required a very adaptable solution that could handle all packaging methods efficiently.

The solution

Our solution made it possible to seamlessly address the client’s unique packaging requirements. The heart of this solution is a distribution conveyor with two outlets, both a movable Multihead weigher and Infeed elevator which provides the necessary flexibility to accommodate different packaging formats.

To ensure the precise and efficient weighing and filling of the IQF nuggets, we integrated the movable Multihead Weigher into the system. This Multihead Weigher was equipped with two collection hoppers/timing hoppers, constructed from sound-damping materials to reduce noise levels and improve the overall working environment. These two hoppers, tailored to situations A) and B), enabled swift and convenient production changeovers. This adaptability allowed our client to seamlessly switch between packaging pillow bags and trays, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum efficiency during production.

The result

The end result was a highly efficient and comprehensive packaging solution that exceeded the client’s expectations. The customer was satisfied with the performance and adaptability of the system but also appreciated the dedication and expertise our team brought to the project. Another successful collaboration with a returning customer was made possible with the use of only the best quality, new innovation, and our ability to make tailored solutions to meet our clients’ needs.
