M.H. Material Handling S.p.A.

Another video to get the Gulfood Manufacturing vibes. These lines for triangle cheese are not so popular anymore in old Europe, but they are still a big deal in the rest of the world. This one in particular is a special case, as the boxes format is a very unusual one, with an exceptionally small diameter. Another not common feature is the full stainless steel frame of these conveyors, compared to the usual anodized aluminum. The video shows an empty boxes magazine and feeding system to the boxing machine. No adjustment is needed on the elevating section and a simple handled can be used to set the fall into the machine. We deliver almost all these line to an OEM, in this case IMA Group #Corazza, to feed the range of their #SF machines (link to relevant videos in their YouTube channel will be in the comments below). We will also link another video of a similar application to feed an SF100 in our YouTube, that also shows the handling of the filled box. #conveyor #conveyors #buffer #automation #food #packaging #dairy #cheese

Another typical coffee application is for powder bags. These can be either standard block bottom bags, vacuum packed and logistic vacuum but most of the concepts remain similar. Mostly table top conveyors with the common practice to create passages for operators and materials between the primay and secondary packaging. In this line we have an AmbaFlex Spiral Conveyor Solutions as elevator and we come down with our #BATBuffer system that can also be used as accumulation. Even if it's not very common this accumulation with pneumatic stops is WITH pressure between the products and its a welcome feature because it allows to verify that the vacuum seal has been well executed. This solution requires of course a little bit more footprint in the building, but gives great advantages in term of efficiency, logistics and quality control. We delivered a lot of these line to Goglio Group and then installed at the end users site. They have a complete video of the line, showcasing the top technology packaging machine in their #YouTube channel (the link to the video will be in the first comment below). Go check it out. #conveyor #conveyors #food #coffee #packaging #automation #accumulation #buffer

Even if we couldn’t book a stand for this year’s edition, we’ll be happily visiting Gulfood Manufacturing in a few weeks. Thanks to the partnership with Novadim Food Technology we will invest in the region a lot in the upcoming years. Maroun Al Hayek Wassim Mansour Pierre Anid

Since this morning we were speaking about sustainability here is a device that one would not immediately connect to the topic. This is a bag press, the purpose is to achieve a more flat and regular shape for back packaging coming from VFFS machines. Having a flat bag allow easier pickup from the robots and better explotiation of the space in the cases which translates in: - more reliable and efficient case packing (less energy consumed per unit in production) - less packaging material (straight save in waste) - more product per cubic meter (less fuel consumed per unit in logistics) All this at the cost of one extra electric motor, some metal and some plastics. 90% of the time is a no brainer choice in favour of having one of these units.

Sustainability is a priority for many companies, especially in the food sector. But when it comes to packaging, switching to environmentally friendly materials is not always easy. In our last blog article, we explored the challenges companies face in balancing sustainability and food safety, especially when it comes to using paper as a packaging material. If you want to find out what these challenges are and how the future of packaging might evolve, read the full article here. --- La sostenibilità è una priorità per molte aziende, soprattutto nel settore alimentare. Ma quando parliamo di packaging, passare a materiali ecocompatibili non è sempre semplice. Nel nostro ultimo articolo sul blog, abbiamo esplorato le sfide che le aziende devono affrontare nel bilanciare sostenibilità e sicurezza alimentare, specialmente quando si tratta di utilizzare la carta come materiale di confezionamento. Se vuoi scoprire quali sono queste sfide e come il futuro del packaging potrebbe evolversi, leggi l'articolo completo qui. https://lnkd.in/di_6gQXZ #mh #packagingsustainability #automation #producthandling

Coffee caps lines are a strange kind of animal. Production rate are extremely high but linear speed are relatively slow, due to the small size of the products to handle. One may be tempted to consider these easy conveyors, but as a matter of fact there are many different kind of capsules, for shape, size and weight. Accumulation is usualy acceptable, but in limited numbers to avoid tipping or overlapping. There another external challenge, usually. Companies tend to underestimate the space required due to the fact that the packaging machine themselves are as compact as the packaging, and by so doing they leave little or no space for buffering. Avoiding rigid lines should be the first point in the list of nay project manager. #Conveyor #Conveyors #Food #Packaging #coffee

Secondary packaging is a crucial element for food companies. Especially in emerging markets, ensuring an efficient and smooth process is crucial to maintain competitiveness. The challenges are great, but automation can be your secret weapon. In our latest article, we explore how automation in secondary packaging can revolutionise your production line, bringing concrete benefits such as: - optimisation of operating space; - reduction of stops; - increased flexibility and safety. Don't let inefficiencies limit your growth! Find out more on our blog and let M.H. Material Handling guide you towards a more efficient and productive future. ---- Il packaging secondario è un elemento cruciale per le aziende alimentari. Soprattutto nei mercati emergenti, garantire un processo efficiente e senza intoppi è fondamentale per mantenere la competitività. Le sfide sono grandi, ma l'automazione può essere la tua arma segreta. Nel nostro ultimo articolo, esploriamo come l'automazione nel packaging secondario può rivoluzionare la tua linea di produzione, portando vantaggi concreti come: - ottimizzazione dello spazio operativo; - riduzione delle fermate; - maggiore flessibilità e sicurezza. Non lasciare che le inefficienze limitino la tua crescita! Scopri di più sul nostro blog e lasciati guidare da M.H. Material Handling verso un futuro più efficiente e produttivo. https://lnkd.in/dF6yW3g3 #mh #secondarypackaging #automation #materialhandling

Dynamic mergers are a key component in modern packaging lines. The increasing production rate and the requirement to reduce the packging material call for systems that can handle product with zero or at least extremely low pressure between one and the other. For this reason merging products with phasing units that allow one to one action and keeping a regular pacing downstream is becoming of paramount importance. This particular device have been delivered some years ago and it was in the entry level configuration with aluminum frame belt conveyors. It was a multiple format line that required some software fine tuning as the length of the packages could go from 180 to 380 mm. #conveyor #conveyors #merger #food #pasta #packaging
