New SKAKO semi–automatic packaging machine
07 January 2016
SKAKO Vibration has introduced a new compact weighing and filling system to fill different kind of boxes, as well as plastic or steel returnable boxes (KLTs), which it says is especially designed for short and medium sized production.
SKAKO Vibration’s new machine offers quick changeover time, a compact design, and easy operation. In addition, it is easy to turn round, which has become more important for the fastener and automotive industry to ensure that there is no cross contamination of products before they reach the customer.
For many years SKAKO has manufactured vibrating equipment for the hardware industry, which has shown a significant growth especially in feeding, weighing and dosing equipment for heat treatment lines. Due to this, and with the experience of its employees, it was only a small step for SKAKO to develop a semi-automatic system for the packaging industry – where a lot of components can be used and have a similar function.
SKAKO’s system consists of a vibrating storage feeder, a vibrating feeder, a chute system with accumulation possibility, and a table with integrated load cells and integrated sample/check weigh platform. It can be configured in different sizes and can be supplied together with a lift and tip unit.
“We are proud to present the new system on the market. However, it is certainly not our intention to focus on further development for other packaging machines. SKAKO is mainly a producer of vibration equipment and a component supplier. Our customers are predominately OEM and end users. Within our OEM customers, however, there are also producers of packaging equipment with who we have a good cooperating and a long-term business relation.”
