Automated packaging line for bottling industry

Streamline your packaging operations with a fully automated solution designed to transition from manual processes, enhancing efficiency and consistency in handling bottling tasks across multiple products.

Automates Case Erecting, Packing, Partition Inserting, and Sealing

The Series 1300 from APE IMPIANTI is a comprehensive solution for automating the packaging processes in the wine, beer, spirits, and food industries. This suite of equipment, including the FORM 1300 for automatic case erecting, INCA 1300 for precise case packing, INSER 1300 for effortless partition inserting, and CH 1300 for secure case sealing, collectively enhances operational efficiency and reduces manual intervention.

Engineered for high-speed and continuous operations, the Series 1300 supports producers in achieving throughput rates of up to 6,000 bottles per hour. Each unit is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing production lines, with advanced automation and control features enabling smooth synchronization with upstream and downstream processes. The equipment is particularly suitable for bottling operations, tackling the typical packaging challenges of handling volumes of 250ml to 750ml wine, beer, and spirits bottles, as well as various food packaging cartons.

Built with a robust mechanical structure and innovative software, the Series 1300 ensures reliability and user-friendliness. The hot-melt applicators in the FORM and CH models enhance packaging integrity, making this series a compelling choice for those seeking durability and ease of use. Designed with flexibility in mind, the Series 1300 accommodates a wide range of American (RSC) cases, and its customizable features allow it to meet specific production needs. Dedicated engineering support from APE IMPIANTI is readily available to tailor the Series 1300 to fit unique operational requirements.
