Halewood International, supplier of wines, spirits and speciality drinks, uses Kosme's range of palletiser, de-palletiser and robotic pick-andplace carton loading equipment which includes automatic carton erector and sealing features.

The machines have helped Halewood maintain 24h, 5-day operation over the past 12 months to meet increased demand.

The equipment can work with cylindrical and shaped containers in glass, metal or plastic, covering a wide range of sizes.

Pallet loaded empty containers are de-palletised with a Kosme Depack double-column unit with automatic sweep-off onto multilaned tables that incorporate different speed settings to achieve a single container lane for the filling operation.

A Kosme integrated system is used for packaging bottles into cardboard cases, comprising a Formaplus carton erection machine, feeding a Combipack pick and place robotic unit.

Two Kosme low-level Palpack automatic palletiser machines are also used on the site.
