Automated System to Couple Lids with Latches from Tecnopails
PIACENZA, Italy — Tecnopails, the dedicated filling division of the recently rebranded IM GROUP (formerly Inkmaker Group), has unveiled an automated system for coupling lids with latches. Tecnopails produced the innovative machines for a European multinational company that specializes in innovative and sustainable packaging solutions.
Known as the Lavelli A21, after its creator Luigi Lavelli, the two twin machines were specifically designed to produce a packaging solution that effectively minimizes an operator’s actions to that of just placing a lid, with latch, onto a container. The operation of packing the ready stacked lids — currently the only action remaining for an operator to handle — has also been predesigned to be fully integrated into the existing system using IoT and industry 4.0 technology.
