New high-speed rotary packer cuts damage & downtime

Kinder, gentler handling results in less bottle breakage and less label scuffing while achieving faster line speeds and higher efficiencies.

Pw 8954 Pakmore Yuengling B

Yuengling Brewery, headquartered in Pottsville, PA, is a fifth-generation family-owned brewery that markets its products in 11 States, but does more volume than some nationally distributed brands such as Samuel Adams.

For its glass-packed beers, Yuengling had been using drop packers from Standard-Knapp, Inc. (www.standard-knapp.com). In March 2005, after about a year of working with Standard-Knapp on the equipment development project, the brewer agreed to install a prototype of Standard-Knapp’s PakMore™ high-efficiency rotary case packer. The new state-of-the-art system is a continuous-motion machine designed specially for faster, smoother, softer packaging of bottled products.

 

Zap-gap infeed

 

The low-maintenance PakMore machine incorporates innovative pressureless Zero-Gap II™ infeed, ensuring balanced lanes and smooth, jam-resistant operation. This feature helps avert downtime and associated downtime costs. The machine also incorporates quick and simple changeover, automatic fault recovery systems, and Allen-Bradley programmable logic controls from Rockwell Automation (www.rockwellautomation.com).
