Due to ever growing demand, Pukka is expanding retail production by introducing a new high speed, flexible packaging line into their manufacturing facility in Leicestershire. Bradman Lake was tasked with unlocking the challenge of feeding a new high speed packaging leg from two existing process lines, with the ability to pack faster due to increased demands for a smaller SRP case collation.
Working alongside the customer, Bradman Lake developed a new layout providing new bridging transport conveyors and newly developed small footprint packaging machines. With high speeds and limited factory space, Bradman Lake utilised its small footprint SL Minor, a high-speed end load cartoner with integrated servo driven star wheel feeder. The cartoner is coupled with a newly developed dual lane robotic six station wrap around case packer capable of up to 40 cases per minute.
The WR6 case packer is a fully automatic machine containing ‘back- to-back’ robots used to pick and place each carton collation into the case.
