Meggle AG is a 125-year-old dairy and whey-processing business group headquartered in Wasserburg am Inn, Germany, a town in the Upper Bavarian district of Rosenheim. Among its consumer dairy products are milk, butter, yogurt, creamers, and more. For years, Meggle has worked with Schubert Packaging Machines for a number of its packaging equipment needs. In 2012, the company turned to Schubert to provide a tray-packing system with mixed functionality for its butter containers.
By 2014, Meggle needed a second system, one that could accommodate both tray packing as well as its retail customers’ demand for retail-ready packaging formats. The equipment also needed to improve the packaging process at various points in Meggle’s production line. Schubert responded with a new TLM packaging machine with four modules that can be easily programmed to erect, fill, and seal cases and trays and can handle different packaging formats and sizes. The new system can pack up to 200 butter containers/min and has an efficiency of more than 97%.
