The SKAKO semi-automatic packaging machine 25 December 2024

The newest development in SKAKO Vibration’s portfolio of products is its semi-automatic packaging machine, optimising its compact weighing and packing system, which can fill different kinds of carton boxes and plastic or steel returnable boxes ( KLTs). 

SKAKO’s semi-automatic packaging machine is especially suited for short and medium size productions, as it is easy to operate and reprogramme. The machine also features a compact, single floor design, which allows it to be placed with a limited foot print – without the need for extra ceiling height. The machine also has an open construction, which makes the process both accessible and easily monitored. This is important for the fastener and automotive industry, which usually operates with many different items, thus has the need to be able to switch from one to another, without the risk of getting them mixed. 

“We have been manufacturing light to medium duty vibratory feeders and screens since 1963 and the hardware industry is a significant and growing part of our business, especially feeding, weighing and dosing equipment for heat treatment lines,” explains SKAKO Vibration AS. “Therefore the semi-automatic system for the packing industry fits perfectly and our know-how could be used.”

The system consists of a vibrating storage feeder, a vibrating feeder, a chute system with accumulation possibility, a table with integrated load cells and an integrated sample/check weighing platform. It can be configured in different sizes and supplied with a lift and tip unit. The lift tipper can be configured according to the customer’s specific container/containers. 

“Furnace feeding systems are a very important part of many industrial processes, for instance the full automatic and weight guaranteed feeding of belt, annealing and tempering furnaces; discharge of industrial washing and drying machines; as well as the feeding and discharge of industrial electroplating and surface treatment lines,” underlines SKAKO Vibration. “Thanks to our semi-automatic packaging machine, customers get controlled, automatic and weight guaranteed feeding of bulk material – ensuring a steady product quality, optimised efficiency of the downstream equipment to be fed, as well as reproducible and traceable production parameters.”
