Mespack has recently launched a complete packaging line consisting of a horizontal machine and three American box end-of-line equipment
At Mespack, we want our customers to focus on their core business and rely on us as a facilitating and reliable partner. For this reason, we are committed to turnkey solutions, that include the management of a complete project and take care of all the details and responsibilities during the process. Hence, equipment for projects that produce primary and secondary packaging, the have solutions that encompass the detailed study of the business needs, design, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning of equipment on our customer’s premise. Furthermore, the training and qualification of the personnel are also positively affected. All of this is possible with a single supplier.
Consequently, Mespack is able to minimize the costs, risks, and inconveniences derived from the integration of numerous equipment and technologies from different suppliers. As a result of having a single, self-managed partner, Mespack not only gives you peace of mind and convenience, but is also delivers horizontal, vertical or water soluble pods machinery that is integrated with fully customer customized end-of-line equipment.
Our expertise in primary and secondary packaging ensures the synchronization and compatibility of every line element. Furthermore, in addition to having the broadest portfolio of products on the market, we have the technology and most qualified team to achieve success. What are the key advantages of a turnkey project with Mespack?
- Sole responsibility for the entire production line of the project, (including equipment and service)
- Complete project integration with one company supplier
- Assurance of engineering and technical solutions (prior testing allows the systems to perfectly converge and integrate; testing is simultaneously conducted by one team)
- Save time and labor (elimination of utilizing several companies to implement and join solutions used within the same company)
- Save resources also by not having different companies (no need to negotiate extended and complicated projects with different suppliers)
- Same delivery time of all the elements of the project
The current project is a complete line that connects a horizontal machine, the H360FED, with a conveyor bound to a picking module. Stand-up pouches derived from the horizontal machine are singularly downloaded, with appropriate distance on the acceleration belt, which facilitates the synchronization between the machine and the belt. The picking module consists of an indexing system with a pneumatic introductory gripper. As a result, the box configuration is two columns of eight pouches. The indexing system checks the exact number of pouches per column. Upon completion, the pouches are transferred to the pre-loading station. Afterwards, at the pre-loading point, the columns of pouches are collected by the two-axis robot and introduced into the box. The process is finalized with a belt transport of these boxes to the case sealer module. The Mespack American Box system also allows for the use of pick and place with a delta robot, which offers operation precision for rapid and high-volume productions.
At Mespack, we ensure that every project strictly complies with our quality standards. Furthermore, we also work tirelessly to develop technologies that make our machines smart; such is the case regarding the integration of the Mespack Athena system. This Mespack, digital platform allows us to reduce unplanned downtime (between 1.5% and 3%), waste (between 2% and 3.5%), among other benefits. Moreover, in accordance with our firm commitment to sustainability, we continuously innovate to guarantee that our machinery is operable with the most current recyclable material trends.
