Ecolab, Inc., headquartered in St. Paul, MN, is a leading supplier of cleaning and sanitizing products for hospitality, institutional, and industrial markets. The company packs a broad range of products in weights from 3 to 7 lbs in various product counts and shipping-case pack configurations.

The manual and semi-automatic case-packing operations at the company’s Garland, TX, plant required upgrading to keep pace with growing customer demand. In December 2008, the company installed a customized automatic wraparound case packer from Massman Automation Designs LLC (www.massmanllc.com) to pack plastic-wrapped soap blocks. The case packer combines programmable, PLC-controls, servo-drives, and easy handwheel adjustability to accommodate various container and case sizes and multiple pack patterns.
