Glass, plastic, aluminum, and other metal dairy containers
Dairy operations today face unique packaging challenges that require precise, equipment to protect products from contamination while maintaining freshness. Many facilities must handle different container types on their production lines, from lightweight plastic bottles to heavy glass jars. Choosing the right equipment for your packaging needs is vital for meeting your production goals while complying with strict food safety regulations.
We understand the critical balance between efficiency and product protection that defines the industry. Our engineers design solutions specifically for dairy applications, from small-scale operations to large processing facilities handling thousands of containers per hour.
When you partner with Ska Fab, you get access to top-class equipment expertise that addresses every aspect of your container handling needs.
Glass, plastic, aluminum, and other metal containers come in various shapes and sizes, and we have experience working with many of them used in the dairy industry. Ska Fab offers both automatic and manual systems that are perfect for handling these containers.
The Ska Fab FHA 3000/5000 and HHA 5000 are designed to unload full and half-height pallets of various sizes of plastic containers, as well as tin, steel, and glass jars or bottles.
In addition to depalletizing systems, Ska Fabricating also manufactures palletizers, multiple conveyance and accumulation systems, flame treatment systems, and semi-automatic baggers for the dairy industry.
Ska Fab tests our equipment before shipping and during the installation process to ensure it performs successfully. We have unloaded a wide variety of dairy containers, including protein powder, baby formula, and single-serve dairy bottles. Each video shows an optional conveyance purchased with that particular unit.
Most dairy operations benefit from upgraded automation systems that can seamlessly move containers through each stage of the packaging process. This equipment can perform multiple functions while protecting containers from damage.
Various components work together to keep productivity moving smoothly, including:
Liquid dairy products require sensitive handling because they are vulnerable to temperature changes and contamination during packaging. The integrity of a container is crucial when handling milk, cream and other perishable liquids that can spoil quickly if your packaging lines fail. Our equipment helps maintain the high standards that dairy processors depend on for uninterrupted production and superior quality.
Our dairy packaging equipment delivers a complete range of features designed to support your operations, including:
When selecting a depalletizer, several key factors must be considered: speed, space, pallet weight, and budget. These factors will help us determine what machine will effectively meet the specific requirements of the job at hand.
Meeting the speeds of your filler is a priority. Adding the proper conveyance can shave off precious time. Once we know your requirements, we can suggest options such as:
Several important factors must be considered regarding the plant layout. Are your floors level? Will we need to go through any walls? What is the height of your ceiling?
Once we gather all the necessary information, we can get creative with the layout to propose a solution that fits your space – no matter how small!
Ska Fab offers a range of innovative depalletizers designed to efficiently unload pallets weighing up to 4,000 lbs.
