The Challenge
The project required a solution that could manage two distinct product types—stick deodorants and antiperspirants—without contamination risk. The nature of these products made it critical to use separate filling systems to ensure that they never come into contact. The client also needed the line to support seven different packaging formats with minimal downtime during changeovers, and the speed of production had to meet the demand for 250 units per minute.
How did Mengibar solve it?
In response to the demand for a versatile, high-speed line for stick deodorant and antiperspirant products, we developed a fully automated solution equipped with two dedicated rotary fillers. This configuration is essential for handling two distinct product types that cannot mix due to the risk of contamination. While one filler is in operation, the other can undergo maintenance, ensuring continuous production.
The system handles seven different container formats, with a focus on easy and fast changeovers. Automation plays a key role in simplifying format adjustments, minimizing downtime, and maintaining consistent throughput.
Operating at a remarkable speed of 250 units per minute, this line ensures high output without compromising quality. Its advanced features provide flexibility, allowing it to switch between various product formats seamlessly, offering the client the necessary adaptability in a highly competitive market.
