Packaging solutions are crucial in many industries for bringing products to customers efficiently, safely, and attractively. With decades of experience, PCA specializes in developing customized packaging machines and palletizing robots for food, confectionery, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Individual project planning, innovative technology, and personal customer contact result in systems that are used worldwide.
The range of solutions extends from compact systems with a footprint of just ten square meters to large-scale palletizing centers that can fill entire halls measuring over a thousand square meters. The technology covers a wide variety of industries, from food production and the confectionery industry to the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. Each customer first describes their product and the desired packaging. A complete project plan is then drawn up, including concept development and technical details. The aim is to design packaging that appeals to the end customer at first glance and positively influences their purchasing decision.
An outstanding example was a large-scale coffee production plant in which coffee pads were processed, packaged, and then palletized on eight lines. This project had a volume of twelve million euros and demonstrates the ability to implement complex processes with the highest precision and efficiency.
The system with the yellow robot, which works with the aid of artificial intelligence, attracts particular attention. Without prior knowledge, this robot is able to depalletize mixed pallets. An AI-supported camera recognizes the items and transmits the target coordinates. The robot grasps them precisely and prepares the products for further processing. A second robot performs the opposite task: it forms new, mixed pallets. The system automatically determines the size of each product and calculates the optimal pallet load. This creates a flexible solution for companies that need to move a variety of different goods.
The range of projects implemented extends from compact packaging stations for small businesses to large-scale palletizing systems for international corporations. While some systems have manageable space requirements, there are projects that fill entire halls and map highly complex processes.
The company has more than three decades of experience in the construction of packaging machines. Whether you need a standard solution or a highly specialized system, we always provide individual advice with a view to finding the optimal solution for your needs.
The goal of every system is to package products in such a way that they leave a positive impression on the end customer. The machines ensure that packaging is not only functional but also visually appealing. This sets the stage for consumers to make confident purchases.
