End Of Line

End of Line Overview

End-of-line (EOL) packaging equipment automates collation, case packing, sealing, labelling, and palletising of finished products, boosting throughput, reducing labour, and ensuring pallet stability for safe distribution in food manufacturing.

These systems handle random or fixed case sizes with servo controls, integrating upstream with fillers/checkweighers and downstream robotics, often IP65-rated for wet wipe-downs and print/scan verification for traceability.

Common Examples

Type	Application	Key Features
Case Erector/Sealer	Boxes of pouches, trays (e.g., Combi TBS-100)	Random heights, 20-30 cases/min, top/bottom tape
Wraparound Case Packer	Multi-packs, ready meals (e.g., ICP-120 robotic)	Servo pick/place, 50-120/min, hygienic for food
Palletiser/Stretch Wrapper	Bulk pallets of cases	Layer/pattern stacking, 10-20 pallets/hr, safety guarding
