Versatile Technology, Engineered for Performance
Neptek supplies highly efficient side, top-loading, and wrap-around Case Packing Machines. The machines can handle a wide variety of products and shapes. Neptek develops complete solutions to pack pre-packed products such as bags, folding boxes, blisters, bottles, and deep-drawn packaging – and of course, pack your product in cartons:
- Side loaders and Top Loaders.
- Wrap-around.
- High speed.
- Various carton types.
- Continuous motion.
- Able to pack a wide range of products.
These bullet points highlight Neptek’s comprehensive approach, but let’s explore what they mean in day-to-day production:
Side Loaders and Top Loaders – Whether your line calls for horizontal insertion to protect delicate layers or vertical placement to maintain orientation, Neptek’s modular frames let you switch between side-loading and top-loading formats with minimal downtime. Servo-driven collators ensure precise product grouping, while quick-change guides shorten recipe changeovers—crucial for facilities that process multiple SKUs or short production runs.
Wrap-Around – Unlike conventional RSC (regular slotted carton) systems, wrap-around Case Packing Machines form, fill, and seal corrugated blanks tightly around the product bundle. This provides outstanding dimensional stability, minimizes board waste, and delivers pallet-ready shippers that maximise cubic utilisation during transport. By integrating wrap-around technology, Neptek clients often report packaging material savings of up to 25 %, alongside sturdier cases that travel better through extended supply chains.
High Speed – Through advanced motion control and continuous-motion indexing, these machines sustain high cycles per minute without compromising accuracy. From FMCG bottling lines demanding 35 cases per minute to large-format bag operations needing gentler acceleration curves, Neptek tunes acceleration profiles and vacuum pick-and-place parameters to match the product’s physical characteristics.
Various Carton Types – Market demands evolve rapidly, and brand owners frequently introduce new shelf-ready formats. Neptek’s open-architecture case magazine accepts RSC, HSC, display-ready, or full-height wrap-around blanks without major mechanical modifications. This flexibility enables manufacturers to future-proof their capex investment and respond quicker to retailer mandates.
Continuous Motion – A continuous-motion architecture eliminates the start-stop jerk of traditional indexing systems, reducing mechanical stress and extending component life. It also translates into smoother product handling—especially important for fragile items like glass jars or thermoformed blisters.
Able to Pack a Wide Range of Products – From lightweight pouches travelling on high-friction belts to heavyweight clustered cans guided by servo-synchronised lug chains, Neptek’s Case Packing Machines accommodate size and weight extremes. Adjustable lane dividers and programmable pushers make sure product changeovers rely on recipe selection, not time-consuming mechanical rebuilds.
Advantages That Boost Your Bottom Line
ADVANTAGES
- Products are collated fully automatically.
- Suitable for most conventional types of cases and products.
- Compact modular design: flexible and accessible.
- Gentle handling of the product to avoid any damage.
- Material and component selection according to the highest quality standards.
- Easily integrated with other machinery to form a complete end-of-line packaging system.
- Energy efficiency
A closer look at these benefits reveals why businesses across food, beverage, household, and industrial markets specify Neptek when sourcing new Case Packing Machines:
- Automated Collation – Intelligent sensors and PLC-controlled grouping devices eliminate manual intervention, reducing labour costs and eliminating ergonomic risks associated with repetitive case-packing tasks.
- Universal Case Compatibility – Whether you ship in corrugated cardboard, micro-flute, or sustainable fibre-based composites, Neptek’s adaptive tooling provides tight, square cases every time, enhancing pallet stability and reducing damage claims downstream.
- Compact Modular Design – Footprint is prime real estate on a production floor. Each module—be it infeed, collation, case erection, or sealing—shares a common frame design that simplifies maintenance access and allows incremental upgrades as throughput requirements grow.
- Gentle Product Handling – Soft-drop vacuum heads, low-pressure pneumatic circuits, and servo-synchronised transfers ensure even delicate primary packs maintain their aesthetic shelf appeal. This gentleness translates into fewer reworks and higher customer satisfaction.
- Premium Materials – Stainless-steel enclosures, food-grade lubrication systems, and IP65 electrical cabinets come standard, maintaining hygiene in wash-down environments and extending equipment lifespan in dusty, abrasive conditions.
- Seamless System Integration – Neptek engineers design upstream and downstream interfaces—conveyors, check-weighers, palletisers—to deliver a cohesive turnkey solution managed from a single HMI. Real-time OEE dashboards help maintenance teams react to bottlenecks instantly.
- Energy Efficiency – High-efficiency motors, regenerative braking on servo axes, and low-pressure pneumatics combine to lower kilowatt-hour consumption. Many clients recoup energy-related savings that compound over the service life of the machine, boosting ROI.
