Now available to customers in Europe, the PadPak® Multi-Station™ delivers a steady stream of paper cushioning to up to ten individual pack stations.
The PadPak® Multi-Station™ combines the best elements of automation and sustainable paper packaging by automatically delivering cushioning pads with exceptional efficiency to the packer, eliminating multiple converters and improving ergonomics. An automated line allows a single central PadPak® paper converter to supply 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and renewable paper pads to up to ten packing stations continuously. The modular and highly customizable solution saves space and boosts productivity by delivering pads directly to the packer, eliminating the need for a separate converter at each packing station. The modularity of the solution enables layouts that adapt to specific packing needs, easily integrating into spaces with unique dimensions.
DecisionTower™ with FillPak Trident™ leverages computer vision to measure and precisely dispense paper void fill.
DecisionTower™ with FillPak Trident™ uses the machine vision capabilities of Ranpak's DecisionTower™ to measure voids and dispense the perfect amount of fully curbside recyclable paper void fill material through a connected FillPak Trident ™ converter, with the FillPak SL™ also available within the US market. By combining sophisticated vision technology with sustainable paper packaging materials, the packaging process becomes less wasteful, more consistent, and provides a better customer experience during unboxing. Up to 35% paper reduction is possible due to the combination of active void measurement and the use of the unique triangle-shaped paper pads dispensed by the FillPak Trident™ converter, which are engineered to fill space with the minimum required amount of paper materials. The solution automatically adjusts to different box types and void volumes, making it easy to use with limited-to-no operator training. End customers can simply recycle the paper packaging materials they receive without seeing too much or too little protecting their products, increasing satisfaction.
Pad'it!™ automatically applies paper pads to the top, bottom, or both top and bottom of boxes in a packing line
The Pad'it!™ solution automatically inserts a unique, waved paper cushioning pad at the bottom, top, or both top and bottom of a package, providing an additional layer of protection in the box. This fully automated system creates, picks, and places pads, reducing manual labor and requires minimal training to enhance operational productivity. The system can add additional padding to up to 15 boxes per minute, keeping pace with other automation solutions on a line. It also ensures precise pad placement for a uniform, visually appealing package by using a robotic arm and the WrapPak® Protector converter, improving both in-the-box protection and the unboxing experience.
These three solutions from Ranpak represent a synthesis of sustainable packaging expertise built on over 50 years of experience in paper packaging solutions with a dedicated focus on cutting-edge technology and pack station development. Complementing the development of automation solutions with the sustainability, recycling potential, and renewability of paper materials allows businesses to scale their operations with an eye towards their current sustainability performance and regulatory changes. Each of these solutions also contributes to a more ergonomic workplace within the packaging line, automating some of the most repetitive tasks while allowing employees to focus on more complex and strategic operations.
