Food producers face strict industry regulations while juggling various production lines with different container handling and filling requirements. Applications range from delicate glass spice jars to heavy pet food cans, requiring packaging equipment that can handle different container weights and shapes while avoiding contamination. High-performance packaging equipment helps solve these challenges while providing the efficiency needed to compete in the current market.
Ska Fabricating has extensive experience in food processing, from specialty condiment producers to large-scale food manufacturers that require high-speed automation. Our engineers create flexible systems that handle all types of containers while maintaining the high standards required by the food industry. When you choose Ska Fab, you receive personalized attention for all your equipment needs, regardless of your business’s size or scope.
Glass, metal, and plastic containers come in various shapes and sizes, and we have experience working with many of them used in the food industry. Ska Fab offers both automatic and manual food packaging systems that are perfect for handling these containers.
Ska Fab provides automatic depalletizers for unloading bulk layered pallets. The HHA 5000 and FHA 5000 depalletizers have a lifting capacity of 4,000 pounds, helping to ensure smooth and continuous production. The FHA 3000 unloads pallets of containers weighing up to 1,000 pounds.
Ska Fab specializes in manual depalletizers designed to efficiently unload bulk pallets. These depalletizers feature a user-friendly operator pendant that precisely controls lifting and lowering movements, helping to support safe and effective container unloading.
At Ska Fab, we offer a wide range of conveyance solutions compatible with various food packaging materials, including glass, plastic and metal containers. We understand that each operation has its own unique challenges and demands, which is why we take the time to thoroughly assess your needs and collaborate closely with you to explore all available possibilities.
Ska Fab tests all our equipment before shipping to ensure it performs successfully when it arrives at your location. We have conducted tests on a wide variety of food containers, including glass bottles and jars used for spices, sauces, and dressings, plastic containers for protein powders and baby formula, and metal containers for vegetables and pet food, among others. Each video shows optional discharge and decline conveyance purchased with that particular unit.
Food packaging equipment must be able to handle many container types and sizes while maintaining the careful control needed for high product quality. These systems perform multiple processes — from initial container preparation through final packaging — while meeting the unique handling requirements of a complete range of food products.
Examples of this equipment include:
Our food packaging solutions provide many benefits that help solve the challenges facing food manufacturers. Integrating this equipment into your production line can help support:
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 speed 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 pounds. 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 are happy to discuss alternative solutions.
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. The key is prioritizing our investments by focusing on what is necessary, so the equipment we quote is the best for the job.

Automation helps with regulatory compliance by taking the guesswork and human error out of the picture. Automation minimizes human contact, ensures consistent processes, controls fill levels and provides traceability. By reducing human involvement, automation reduces the risk of contamination. Machines are designed to maintain strict, consistent standards that meet FDA and USDA guidelines. They also give you precise control over critical factors like fill levels, labeling and sealing. Additionally, automated systems keep detailed records for auditing and traceability.
Palletizers can boost efficiency, lower costs, reduce worker strain, save floor space and minimize product damage. Automatic palletizers dramatically speed up operations by automating pallet loading and unloading. They increase efficiency, which translates to lower labor costs and fewer injuries from repetitive lifting. Palletizers can also help you maximize your floor space by enabling higher stacking. They handle products gently, reducing damage. They also work seamlessly with conveyors and other equipment for smooth product flow.
You can find scalable, tailored food packaging solutions at Ska Fab. We offer a range of innovative equipment, including automatic and manual depalletizers, conveyors and accumulation systems. Our automatic depalletizers, like the HHA 5000 and FHA 5000, can handle heavy loads of up to 4,000 pounds, making them perfect for high-volume production. Our smaller model, the FHA 3000, is great for loads of up to 1,000 pounds. We’ve also got manual depalletizers with user-friendly controls for easy operation. Plus, our conveyance solutions are tailored to your specific speed and layout requirements.
