There are plenty of solutions that a company operating in the handling, cartoning and end-of-line industry can offer to its customers. However, to identify and develop the most suitable option, it is essential to put into practice an appropriate process of analysis and study. It takes a high degree of technical expertise to do that as well as analytical skills and the relevant know-how to transform the project into reality: working in close collaboration with the customer, Bondani has been able to respond to the most complex handling requirements. “One of the most difficult yet most rewarding projects we have carried out so far – says the owner Alessio Bondani – was the one we realized for an important food company that decided to automatize a line of yoghurt in glass jars, which up to that moment was mostly manual, making a significant investment”.
The automation of the line had to take into consideration some critical aspects, such as the lack of space and limited flor loading capacity. “We have done an amazing job of technical analysis together with the customer – underlines the owner of Bondani S.r.l – to fig re out where to place the machines and distribute the weight in the best way but always trying to optimise the company’s production fl w”.
We have developed a system that provides for the mechanization of the entire workfl w: the automatic palletizer for empty jars, the conveyor belts to the filling machines, the cardboard boxes forming machine, the “pick and place” system with anthropomorphic robot for filling the boxes and the automatic palletizing island. It was a major investment, a multifaceted project of great impact, which has led the company to significantly increase its production capacity.
“We managed to achieve this result thanks to the commitment and constant interaction between customer and supplier – Alessio Bondani points out – because, on the one hand, we have had helpful suggestions from the people who have been running the line for years; on the other hand, our experience and expertise have made it possible to fin the right solution and solve the various problems”. Today the automated line is fully functional and the customer manages it autonomously. “However, the job is not finishe : – concludes Bondani – we are always ready to improve the line according to the customer’s needs.
This is the way we work and it is the way we manage to achieve the best results, for us and our customers”. www.bondani.it
