Customer: Yves Rocher (Ireland)
Date: August 2004
Container: 45mm Diameter PP twin part
 
Output Requirement: 3600 containers/hour
Machine Type: FCS-Auto 3 head fully automatic foil cutting & sealing machine with quick change ceramic cutting heads and internal induction sealing coils. Relco P800 induction generators, SMC pneumatics, Siemens PLC, colour touch screen HMI and Siemens electrical control equipment
Technical Challenges: Machine to be fully integrated into automated filling and packaging line provided by Marchesini of Italy in order to communicate with filler up-stream and capper down-stream. Customer selected foil used on container had to make good hermetic seal but remain easy to peel and give good aesthetic appearance. Machine had to be built to allow it to be used on a range of possible future container designs and sizes.
Post Script: Full set of change parts built and provided in June 2005 for sealing new ‘Inositol’ container.
