This complete, custom-built robotic packaging line was specifically developed for packaging alcoholic liquids, such as perfumes. From feeding empty glass bottles to palletizing cartons, it incorporates innovative magnetic conveyor technology that enables high production rates (up to 60 cycles per minute) without the risk of spills. Perfectly suited for the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and home care industries, this “100% flexible” line is designed to simplify regular format changes while ensuring rigorous quality control.
Automated handling of the entire process: from depalletizing bottles onto pallets to palletizing cases .
Blowing, filling with level control, certified weighing, and screwing on lids.
Labeling and laser marking of vials.
Robotic palletizer ( case forming, product placement, and taping).
High-speed handling of complex fluids: The use of a magnetic conveyor eliminates impacts and glass noise and prevents spills or splashes during the rapid movement of open vials.
Container diversity: Meets the challenge of frequent format changes by easily handling bottles ranging from 100 ml to 500 ml with optimized tooling.
Line autonomy: Reduces operator workload and manual handling thanks to continuous operation designed for three shifts per day and rotating consumable magazines that operate during downtime.
Feeding and Preparation: Automated distribution of vials onto pallets, camera inspection, blowing, and placement onto the magnetic conveyor.
Filling and Inspection: Fluid transfer to the 4-nozzle filling module, followed by individual weighing of the bottles (weight check).
Capping: Automated distribution and robotic screwing of caps or pumps.
Labeling: Label removal, laser marking, and removal of non-conforming (NC) products via camera inspection.
Automatic Case Packing: Robotic destacking and forming of cases , followed by precise loading of product batches by a second multi-jointed robot.
Palletizing: Sealing with a tape dispenser, case labeling, case final robotic palletizing that is safe and ergonomic for the operator.
Rate of fire: 50 to 60 beats per minute (bpm).
Footprint (dimensions): Optimized layout (area of approximately 16 m x 4 m) to maximize accessibility to the various workstations.
Types of products handled (shapes): Round, oval, or rectangular glass bottles (for perfumes) ranging from 50 ml to 200 ml.
Accepted materials: Alcoholic beverages, caps, pumps, labels, and American-style cases .
Format changeover time: Quick and intuitive changeover via the onboard computer (HMI).
Compliance / Standards: Fully secured and zoned machine (glass doors, light curtains, Directive 2006/42/EC).
Cosmetics and Fragrances (Ideally applicable to the pharmaceutical and home care sectors)
No. That’s the key advantage of our technology. Instead of using a conventional mechanical transfer system, this line uses a magnetic conveyor. Movement is smooth, eliminating vibrations and preventing spills, even at very high speeds.
Yes, it’s extremely simple thanks to our built-in “Smartpart” tool. You can view your entire machine in 3D on your screen. Simply click on the defective part in the exploded view to generate and send us a quote request directly.
Absolutely not. Ergonomics is at the heart of our design. Our HMI (Human-Machine Interface) is designed to be used without any specific knowledge of robotics. A change in bottle size can be initiated and adjusted in just a few clicks by your production operators.
