We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Packaging Line",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Robots speed up food packaging productivity from
Fanuc Robotics (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Cheese manufacturing company, producing 350,000 tonnes/year, is using an 'intelligent' robot to make a significant impact on productivity and reduce labour cost".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Power press automation uprates output/safety from
AP and T AB, Automation, Press and Tooling: "A US presswork subcontractor's decision to automate was based not only on raising production efficiencies and cost savings but improving operator safety too".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Witt Gas Techniques
concerning its 'Pack-Vac' leak detection system
- take a look at Test packages for leaks non-destructively
which says: "A leak detection system detects leaks in packages using water and compressed air, or as a non destructive leak tester for packages containing fluids, lubricants or water".
Take a look also at the news release from Tetra Pak, Fast-growing markets drive carton packaging sales,
as well as Aseptic carton packaging system debuts in Spain from Tetra Pak,
and Collaboration for packaging demonstration from OMAC.
