Quin builds a better packer for Northern Foods

Swift, efficient and precise - a radical new way to pack

Northern Foods were looking for the right system to automate their case packing, but none met their challenging needs - until they found Casepacker from Quin Systems.

Unlike robot-based systems, this new machine uses unique Rtheta™ technology to provide exceptional levels of performance:

• It minimises inertia, easily allowing high operating speeds
• Smooth motion eliminates the risk of product damage
• No gearbox is used, reducing maintenance and the risk of positional errors
• The machine is compact and can be mounted above the production line

"When we first saw the Rtheta™ Casepacker, we were a little wary of its radically different design," said Rick Lloyd, Chief Engineer at Northern Foods.

"However the specification appeared to meet all our requirements and the price - about half that of other systems we'd looked at - was certainly attractive. Accordingly, we decided to install one of the machines on a trial basis."
