New Versapack for faster, more efficient packing

Quin Systems, the Wokingham-based designer and supplier of intelligent end-of-line automated packing systems, has launched a new Versapack™ machine.

The compact design allows the machine to be used in a wide range of packing line operations without the need for additional building or line reorganisation and the servo-driven robotic case erector system makes the Versapack™ faster, smarter and more efficient than its predecessors.

Managing Director, Mike Webb said that Quin had responded to the needs of its customers, who increasingly need faster, flexible end-of-line solutions that help them to meet their production targets.

“Versapack™ is the smallest and fastest integrated case erecting and packing machine on the market with the ability to pack products in any orientation including on-edge.  The efficient servo-driven case erector has been designed to handle a wide range of cases including the smaller retail-ready cases, a necessity for those supplying major retailers who want to make the most of their shelf space.”  – Mike Webb, MD Quin Systems

Working closely with customers, Quin has incorporated the ability to pack new-style bag formats and stand-up pouches into cases to give producers the packaging flexibility they need to remain competitive.

The new Versapack™ is already in operation in the food sector, packing filled Stabilo packs and pouches into a range of shelf-ready cases.

Case packing on-edge bags and stand up pouches

Machinery Update has interviewed Mike Webb, our MD, about recent developments in our case packing capability to improve productivity and presentation when packing on-edge bags and stand up pouches. Growth in demand for these bags stems in part by the desire for high on shelf visibility as the large flat front of a pouch can be used to advertise a product.

Recent case packing developments at Quin Systems include the launch of our patented vertical infeed system, development of the optimum picking head and research into how best to present the product to the picking head.

“Infeed is key to a successful end of line operation and we have modified our existing system to handle stand up pouches, doypacks, stabilo and pillow packs.” Mike Webb, MD Quin Systems.
