Glass, plastic, aluminum, and other metal containers
Co-packers handle different types of client products and containers while meeting the quality standards and production schedules of each brand. These challenges increase when changing over production lines multiple times daily, from delicate glass beverage bottles to sturdy aluminum cans. Having the right packaging equipment is crucial for co-packers who need the flexibility to serve their clients efficiently and effectively.
At Ska Fabricating, we understand the pressure co-packers face when managing multiple client relationships and ever-changing production demands. We have worked extensively with co-packing facilities that require equipment that can handle quick changeovers between different container specifications. Our co-packaging equipment gives co-packers the operational flexibility they need to take on new clients and expand their services without overhauling their entire facility.
Glass, plastic, aluminum, and other metal containers are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. We have extensive experience working with many of these containers across several industries, including food and beverage, household and personal care, petroleum, plastics manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and dairy. Ska Fab offers both automatic and manual systems that are ideal for handling these containers.
Ska Fabricating’s CIB depalletizer can unload aluminum cans at speeds up to 400 cans per minute (CPM). For even faster operation, the MAB depalletizer features a standard two-pallet infeed system. This design allows for continuous operation and minimizes downtime by ensuring a smooth flow of pallets. The Nimbus depalletizer is specifically designed for smaller spaces and lower-speed applications, making it an ideal solution for facilities with limited floor space.
The HHA and FHA 5000 series of depalletizers have a lifting capacity of up to 4000 lbs. When you need a reliable solution for unloading your glass bottles and jars, let examine your pallet specs and find the right solution.
Ska Fabricating offers the FHA 3000 depalletizer to unload various-sized plastic and metal containers weighing up to 1,000 lbs.
Ska Fabricating manufactures not only depalletizers but also palletizers, multiple conveyance and accumulation systems, rinsers, flame treatment systems, semi-auto baggers, and auxiliary equipment (dryers, case packers, date coders, and more!).
Ska Fab tests our equipment before shipping and during the installation process to ensure it performs successfully. We have unloaded a wide variety of containers, including glass bottles/jars used for beverages and dressings, plastic containers for wipes and protein powders, and aluminum and metal containers for pet food and petroleum, among others. Each video shows optional discharge and decline conveyance purchased with that particular unit.
Co-packing services require equipment that can quickly adapt to different production needs across a single shift. These systems must handle the transition between various materials and container sizes while maintaining the highest quality.
Examples of necessary elements include:
Co-packers cannot afford equipment downtime because clients expect on-time delivery regardless of the production challenges. Equipment reliability is even more critical when serving multiple clients with different product types and production volumes. Ska Fab provides co-packers with innovative packaging solutions to help solve these challenges.
Choosing our equipment means you can enjoy benefits like:
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. The FHA 5000 and HHA 5000 ensure that even the heaviest loads can be managed smoothly, minimizing downtime and increasing productivity in your operations. If your needs involve pallets containing lighter materials, such as cans or plastics, we’re happy to discuss alternative solutions that are not only effective but also more affordable.
It is important for us to discuss the budget at the outset of our planning process to prevent any potential disappointments later on. By establishing a clear financial framework from the beginning, we can ensure that all decisions align with your project.
