Solving A Complicated Packaging Production Line Challenge

As a design and manufacturing company, we are often asked to ‘do the impossible’ by a customer with a difficult challenge. So we were not surprised when a large company came to us with a new request.

A major manufacturer of household cleaning products needed to unscramble 11 different containers (all different shapes and sizes bottles from 100 ml to 5 liter) and secondary orient 7 of them, with speeds from 90 to 150 cpm. They had limited floor space so could not fit two separate machines on the production line.

NEM built them a monoblock unscrambler/orienter (our model NELPSO). This machine combines the ability to feed, unscramble and secondary orient in a space-saving footprint. Three separate applications resolved with one simple answer.

The manufacturer was so pleased with the performance and space saving benefit, that they ordered a total of three machines for three different lines. NEM took a complicated challenge and came up with a simple, cost-saving and space saving solution. We take our customers’ production line challenges to heart and work hard to make them successful.
