1. Feeding Systems

High volume production lines rightly demand fully automated packaging systems flexible in operation and capable of accepting normal irregularities in the product itself and in the product supply rate.

Since this applies particularly to the chocolate, confectionery and biscuit industries, our research and engineering teams have developed a comprehensive range of fully automated feeding systems to complement the Groups outstanding range of wrapping equipment.

With many years experience in the handling of delicate products in a variety of applications, the Groups' feeding systems never fail to present your product perfectly to the next stage of the wrapping cycle.

2. Distribution Systems

• Technological Sophistication (incl Allen Bradley and Siemens Controls)
• Quality Engineering
• Accuracy
• Longevity

you can be sure of the best solution for your individual and specific product distribution requirements.

3. Storage Systems

To ensure a maximum of Production Stability Protection, the Groups' Storage Systems are designed to bridge short term machinery downtime and give just-in-time product availability.

4. Flow Wrapping

For over 5 decades, Flow Wrapping machinery and systems designed, manufactured and serviced by the Autowrappers brand have proven to be a class leading solution for the most demanding of packaging needs.

Continuous development and innovative designs ensure unchallenged reliability in operation as well as speed of production, making this brands machinery the ideal choice for your demanding environments and products.

5. Case Packing

For applications where pre-formed (RSC) cases are to be used, the Europack Brand is in an ideal position to offer a range of solutions with a number of variations.

When a pre-formed case is used, three different options can be chosen, i.e. Side, Bottom or Top Loading, with the best solution depending on the nature of the product and its position within the case.

The Brands' machinery is supplied with appropriate collating equipment. Case closure can be achieved either by means of taping units or hot melt glue.

Naturally the equipment can be operated with solid carton board or with various grades of corrugated board.

6. Shrink Wrapping

Unlike conventional wrappers offered by some of the Groups' competition, the Europack Brands' technology does not have to rely on sealing jaws.

Focusing on Technological Advancement, this difference allows for increased running speeds as well as reducing maintenance while significantly improving efficiency.

7. Cartoning

Of the three Group Brands, Bradman Lake designs and manufactures an extensive range of stand alone and fully Automated Cartoning Machinery plus flexible robotic solutions.

A wealth of experience in supplying outstanding equipment e.g. to the FMCG markets has positioned this Brand as a leading innovator and supplier of

• Carton Erection Machinery
• Top Load Cartoning Equipment
• End Load Cartoning Machinery
• Carton Closers
• Robotic Pick and Place Applications

8. Robotics

Since the formation of the Bradman Lake Group, Robotics have played an ever increasing part in our technologically advanced applications as well as product development considerations.

Currently the Bradman Lake Brand is an innovator of flexible automation using parallel axis robotics technology. This brand does not only offer top load cartoning solutions (using the proven robot picking of products from a racetrack mechanism) but supplies the ever increasing demand for pick & place feeding from a random source using advanced vision based technology.

For 2007, our research and engineering teams are in the final stages of working on the next step in Robotic Integration - so watch this space.

9. Roll Wrapping

Roll Wrapping Machinery is a proven tool to package small round, square and rectangular confectionery products. The pack combines good barrier protection with a convenient and efficient method of carrying and dispensing individual products.

With a variety of proven benefits, the Groups' range of Roll Wrapping Machinery allows for precise adoption to individual needs.

From a single machine through to multi machine systems, equipment supplied by the Bradman Lake Group will ensure efficiency, reliability and quality to safeguard your profit stream.
