Although ProMach has a portfolio of more than 50 individual product brands that span across the entire packaging spectrum, its real strengths are achieved when brands collaborate. A great example to the power of ProMach is the partnership between Edson and Rennco, which have teamed up to create a new packaging solution that will be exhibited in Booths S-3560 and S-3660 at PACK EXPO International 2024, Nov. 3-6, at McCormick Place in Chicago. 

Edson is an expert in case and tray packing solutions for the converted paper, diaper, and nonwoven markets. Rennco is a manufacturer of flexible, end-of-line packaging providing vertical semi-automatic and automatic bagging solutions utilizing centerfolded packaging material. 

This new packaging solution combines the technical expertise of both brands to efficiently collate and package paper cups into individual stacks and then load those stacks into cases. PACK EXPO attendees will see a Micro VCCL (Vertical Cup Counter Loader) from Rennco, feeding packaged stacks of cups to an Edson 1100R.

The Micro VCCL is engineered to package high volumes of paper cups in a compact unit that reduces floor space by 30 percent over a standard Rennco VCCL unit -all without sacrificing speed or reliability. The footprint reduction is achieved by Rennco’s proprietary shuttle tower infeed that eliminates the need for traditional staging area and belt infeed. The dual-lane tower design is capable of handling 330 cups per minute per lane. The machine also maintains cup reject and manual reload functionality for quality control.

The second component of this integrated packaging solution is the 1100R, an all-in-one case erecting and packing system from Edson. The 1100R utilizes a FANUC robot to take knocked down flats (KDFs) and erects them into cases. The machine then collates packaged stacks of cups and side loads them into the newly formed cases which are sealed and made ready for shipment. 

The Power of ProMach

This new integrated solution from Edson and Rennco is aimed at the food service and plastic disposables industries. Together, these brands illustrate the endless packaging automation possibilities that the ProMach family brings forth to customers. A great benefit of brand collaboration is a seamless project management experience. Customers have one central point of contact who serves as a one-stop, full-service provider by connecting all the ProMach brands together. This level of project management greatly streamlines the planning process, installation, and start-up curve for packaging lines.

Fifty-two packaging and automation-focused companies comprise the ProMach family of product brands in categories including Systems & Process; Filling; Bottling & Capping; Decorative Labeling; Flexibles & Trays; Handling & Sterilization; Labeling & Coding; Robotics & End of Line; and Pharma.
