High Speed Food Packing Machine
Natures Way Foods
Client Problem
As a leading UK supplier salad and Food to go products, Natures Way Foods were looking to maintain a competitive cost point for their products. The clear strategy was the automation of the end of line packing across their business, starting with their high speed coleslaw lines.
PWR High Speed Packaging Solution
We supplied a solution for case packing the coleslaw pots, with the required flexibility for changing formats.
The high speed food case packing system picks and place 140 pots per minute using 2 PWR robots, with a < 15min line change over to adapt to new product formats.
“For our first Robotics purchase we wanted a long term partner, one that would take the time to understand our business and challenges and be adaptable to future market needs. PWR have delivered across all these areas and the equipment delivers significant productivity improvements on a daily basis.”
– Gary Kilhams, General Manager – Selsey.
