Less manpower, shorter cycle times and smaller packaging volumes with magnetic grippers, palletising and alignment systems.
Magnetic technology in the packaging industry
Today the packaging industry not only protects products but also takes responsibility for reducing its environmental impact. Growing interest in metal cans, glass jars and cardboard packaging is reshaping production processes. Magnetic solutions respond directly to the industry’s needs in terms of both efficiency and environmental responsibility.
The challenges
To work with sustainable materials, lines must be flexible and suited to automation. Product variety and short runs require lines that can be changed over easily, while rising logistics costs make it essential to ship more product in less volume.
Automation and labour savings with magnetic systems
Repetitive lifting, aligning and conveying waste time and labour. Magnetic grippers and palletising systems offer major advantages when packaging ferromagnetic products such as metal cans, jars with steel lids and metal fasteners:
- Less need for manual labour
- Fast and safe handling
- Shorter cycle times and higher capacity
Reduce packaging volume with magnetic alignment
Placing products such as nails, screws and long steel profiles randomly in boxes creates unnecessary empty space. Magnetic alignment arranges products neatly and can reduce packaging volume by up to three times — fewer boxes, fewer pallets and lower logistics costs.
Process safety and operator protection
Emergency stop scenarios, magnetic field control and safe distances are considered when designing magnetic systems. CE conformity and compliance with the relevant machinery directives are important for occupational health and safety.
Application-specific design
We develop systems for your line based on criteria such as magnetic force, handling capacity, speed and cycle time, and placement accuracy. The result: energy savings, optimised labour, product protection and logistics efficiency.
