Filling systems and lines for HDPE bottles

Seamless integration of HDPE bottles into the production process is made possible by the IBSS 2.0, a dynamic buffer system positioned between the blow molder and the filling line. This innovative system provides the ability to create a buffer from a few minutes to several days, effectively decoupling bottle production from the filling line.

IBSS 2.0 not only allows flexible adjustment of production speeds, but also helps to bridge potential bottlenecks and ensure a smooth flow throughout the manufacturing and filling process chain. The ability to decouple HDPE bottle production and filling over time provides greater operational efficiency and enables better adaptation to fluctuating demand conditions.

As a dynamic buffer system, IBSS 2.0 opens new perspectives for optimized and efficient production of HDPE bottles that meet today's demands for flexibility and efficiency in the packaging industry.

The transport of the HDPE bottles is provided and controlled by AUTEFA. This means that our customers have a single point of contact for the realization of a complete line and the certainty that all system components are optimally coordinated. We suggest additional units from partner companies or integrate the customer's preferred suppliers. AUTEFA Solutions coordinates all interfaces between the suppliers and offers complete lines based on the respective specifications and performance data.

The CERTANT PP case packer (pick & place robot) is also used to pack round, oval or square HDPE bottles or containers into cartons or trays. Depending on the system design, outputs of up to 40,000 bph can be achieved. Special grippers are used for the different HDPE bottles. The CERTANT PP case packer is characterized by its flexibility and cost-effectiveness, making it the ideal machine for a wide range of packaging requirements. The adaptability of the system allows different bottle or container shapes to be efficiently handled and packed into cartons or trays.

The CERTANT PPK case packer is an economical solution for companies in the small to medium output range. This machine enables efficient packaging with reduced energy requirements. When choosing a wrap-around packer, the appropriate system is selected in close consultation with the customer, taking into account the variety of products to be packaged. 

AUTEFA has 2-, 3- or 4-axis, modular robot systems in gantry design for palletizing cartons, trays, shrink packs and similar packs, whereby individual packs, rows or entire layers can be processed efficiently. It is also possible to palletize individual containers directly on intermediate layers or in large trays, which enables a high degree of flexibility when handling different pack formats.

The infeed to the palletizer is either single or multi-lane, depending on the output, in order to meet the specific requirements of the production environment. Empty pallets and intermediate layers are fed automatically to ensure a continuous workflow. Finally, the pallet is securely fixed using a wrapper, strapper or shrink hood to ensure stable and safe preparation of the palletized packs for dispatch. These fully automatic robot systems therefore offer an efficient solution for the precise and reliable palletizing of a wide variety of pack shapes in industrial production processes.
