Skinetta Launches New Back Packaging System

Skinetta is a post-packaging system specialist in Ottobeuren, USA. The R&D and production of its new back-end packaging system has effectively achieved the optimization of equipment performance, improved the flexibility of the equipment and production efficiency, and at the same time reduced the floor space of the equipment.

Skinetta's new terminal packaging equipment employs two six-axis industrial robots that can perform a variety of packaging tasks in the most limited space, such as pallet filling, film wrap wrapping, and case packing. As Hansjorg Niemann, president of Skinetta, puts it: “The surprisingly high degree of flexibility is the most outstanding feature of the device.” The diversification of the moulds and the optimized combination of specialised packaging solutions have enabled efficient operation.

Hansjorg Niemann pointed out that the market trend of standardizing many secondary packaging is obvious. The resulting demand for tailor-made packing solutions for customers has also been greatly improved. Forming a technology partnership with international pharmaceutical companies, the strong technology R&D personnel of Skinetta Company take practical application as the starting point, combine the customer's requirements with the development process of the equipment, and successfully bring the customer's packaging concept to the market. Hansjorg Niemann believes that the facts prove that this decision is very valuable. He said: "The high degree of flexibility and production efficiency is based on the simple and rapid die replacement. The flexibility of the new Skinner rear packaging equipment is almost as easy as manual operation, and the final packaging effect In any case, it is far beyond what manual operations can achieve."

Using sophisticated terminal packaging modules and combining it with advanced automated robots, a new, efficient and flexible back-end packaging device has emerged. What it can do is not just to put the product in a box, but then to move the sealed box up or down as required. More and more customers will require additional modular functions such as labeling, scanning, weighing, sample testing, sample rejection or reflow, etc., outside the traditional packaging. All of these additional features can be accomplished through the new Skinetta rear packaging equipment. For Skinetta, the modular design means that all these additional function modules must be added without any problems at any time after the main equipment is put into operation.

The user's packaging object can be placed in the corner area, and the six-axis robot moves the sealed and aligned secondary packaging to the pallet for subsequent packaging. Here, there can be two different configurations: one is automatic feeding and palletizing by two pallets; the other is packed by a pallet and equipped with an independent storage Expected. Both of these configurations ensure continued uninterrupted production. An important feature of the modular design of Skinetta's new rear packaging equipment is that individual functional modules can be arranged in a non-linear manner. In other words, packaging lines can be installed at the corners of the production floor. This will undoubtedly be very beneficial to make full use of the existing production space.

Skinetta’s new back-end packaging equipment features process features that are characterized by low maintenance requirements and future-oriented modular designs. Skinetta's new rear packaging equipment, through the continuous use of mature and reliable automation machinery technology, successfully applied advanced technology to the back-end packaging technology field, which has met the market demand and also promoted the development of packaging trends. Its process reliability guarantees the best production status. This reliability is also reflected in the design philosophy that focuses on the future, allowing the device to react to technical improvements at any time. In this regard, Hansjorg Niemann explained as follows: "Because of the versatile modular design, this highly flexible rear packaging system not only enables the rapid replacement of molds, but also adds many additional functions and provides special function modules for installation. The possibilities are also fully prepared for customers to adapt to the ever-changing requirements of the international packaging market.”
