Bernatello’s Pizza, Inc., Maple Lake, MN, recently augmented its cartoned frozen pizza case-packing system to accommodate growing production demands. The company had been successfully operating one Sabel case packer. In December 2008, Sabel Engineering Corp. was acquired by Massman Automation Designs, LLC. In September 2009, Bernatello’s decided to purchase a second Sabel bottom-load case packer from Massman.
The newer system operates at speeds about 10% faster than the older case packer and is engineered to pack up to one hundred 12” cartoned pizzas per RSC-style case. Bernatello’s general manager Jim Cousin notes, “We’re currently running about 70 to 75 pizza cartons per minute on the new packer. We package 7-inch, 9-inch, 11-inch, and 12-inch cartoned pizzas, and the PLC software from Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation controls line movement and package size changeovers. The carton sizes are preprogrammed, so changeovers are easy and hands-off.”
