COOP relys on Mohrbach technology

06.11.2008 | Multifunctional system for packing bags in display trays.

The customers’ desire to purchase a product can be increased only by presenting the same products in a different way. The Sunray Division of the Coop group takes advantage of this fact and packs their products in a nice, stable and shelf-ready display tray, in order to address the target group directly.

Since such possibilities to get the customers’ attention are getting more and more important, the corresponding part of the pro-duction was automated during last autumn. The perfect solution was presented by Mohrbach Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH, Rieschweiler, as the flexible wrap-around packer provides nearly unlimited ways of packing.

Production volume and flexibility increased tremendously. There were different reasons for automating this part of the production. Investments had to be taken anyhow. The semi-automatic packaging of the products in cases for transportation and later the manual unpacking of each bag at the point of sale caused high ex-penses of time and personnel resources and therefore were inefficient for the company.

There was a need for a solution that replaces the semi-automatic respectively manual packing and unpacking of the products, provides an attractive and easy-to-handle packaging, and also keeps the logistical process as simple as possible.

Convincing performance and multiple variations. Coop invited several suppliers to present a concept for the realisation of the project. They selected Mohrbach because the solution was in-novative and technically well planned and the wrap-around packer from Rieschweiler fulfils all requirements up to 100%.

Thanks to the compact design the machine could be integrated in the local available space.

At the moment six different types of bags are processed on the machine. After grouping the bags, the stable display tray is formed around the products and afterwards it is lidded for a safe transportation. Palletizing is done by a palletizing robot.

Fast and easy format changing.
For the efficient handling of many different kind of bags (format and weight), the design team emphasized on keeping the time of format changing as short as possible, since format changes are made almost on a daily basis. For instance, the format part which groups the bags was designed in a way that different format sizes can be combined in one component. 
Herewith standstill of the production process can be avoided and also the storage capacity for the exchange parts can be kept to a minimum.
 

 

3,600 bags have to be processed per hour. The operating experience shows that the Mohrbach wrap-around packer meets definitely the required capacity standards.
For a company like Coop, who is a producer of branded articles, the perfect appearance of  the packaging is very important, here Mohrbach provides high quality: the cartons are folded and glued precisely and the products are handled carefully.
In the meantime two further systems have been ordered.
