The purchase and recent installation in our production plant of three new machines for packaging disposable tablecloths in rolls – two case packers for single color boxes and one machine for packaging assorted boxes – are included in the investments in increasingly advanced machinery which characterize our professional approach. The continuous improvement of production processes brings about significant advantages, enabling us to improve the quality of our disposable table linen and the service we offer our customers. Thanks to Industry 4.0 technology, the new machines allow increase in the automation and control of the boxing and packaging of our tablecloths in rolls. This is how they work and the advantages they bring.
The case packers, placed at the end of two production lines, package the tablecloths in rolls in solid color boxes, automating production of the box, which is formed, filled and closed automatically. The tablecloths travel on the conveyor belt, the rolls are counted by the machine and stacked in layers that are placed in the cardboard box, which once filled and closed is ready to be palletized and shipped. The third machine increases the level of automation in the production of assorted boxes: the operators place tablecloths of different colors in crates that are transported to the machine for packaging assorted boxes, which packages them, distributing them automatically in the boxes, so that each pack contains tablecloths in the predetermined number and mix of colors.
These are next generation machines equipped with 4.0 interface with autonomous operator panel for managing recipes and work cycles, which allows interconnection and information exchange with the system and integration with other machinery. Thanks to automation, the possibility of errors is reduced to a minimum, while 4.0 technology exchanges and returns production data to be analyzed for continuous process improvement. Moreover, thanks to remote assistance, the manufacturer’s technical service can investigate and rapidly solve any problems on the machine, acting remotely.
