Packaging Equipment for Household and Personal Care
Glass, plastic, and metal containers
Equipment Capabilities
Companies that package household and personal care items use an extensive range of containers, from tiny glass jars for perfumes to gallon-size jugs for heavy-duty cleaners. These facilities must switch between different products and changeover production lines throughout the day to accommodate each container type. Having the right packaging equipment helps these companies streamline their productivity while maintaining the quality and safety standards their customers expect.
Everyone at Ska Fabricating understands the diverse packaging requirements that household and personal care manufacturers face. We have worked with facilities that produce everything from cosmetics and lotions to cleaning chemicals and aerosol products, each requiring different packaging line setups. Our solutions help these businesses meet tight production schedules while saving money through reduced waste and increased efficiency.
Moving your containers requires the utmost care.
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 household and personal care industry. Ska Fab offers both automatic and manual systems that are perfect for handling these containers.
Automatic Depalletizers and Palletizers
Ska Fab offers automatic depalletizers designed for efficiently unloading bulk layered pallets. The HHA 5000 and FHA 3000/5000 depalletizers feature a lift and sweep assembly that ensures smooth and continuous production.
The FHP bulk palletizer system is designed to prepare pallets of empty plastic containers or aluminum cans. The unit is configured to handle the range of container/can sizes and the speed of your line.
Manual Depalletizers and Palletizers
Ska Fab specializes in manual depalletizers designed to efficiently unload bulk pallets. The depalletizers feature a user-friendly operator HMI touch screen that precisely controls lifting and lowering movements, ensuring safe and effective container unloading.
The manual tilt palletizer makes palletizing operations simple, efficient and ergonomically friendly. Easily operated controls adjust the unit to an optimal loading angle and height, helping to ensure a consistent and safe palletized stack, one layer at a time.
Flame Treatment, Baggers and Conveyance Equipment
Ska Fab flame treaters are proven to provide a safe, consistent and reliable solution for effectively surface-treating plastic, metal or glass bottles. Our surface treatment systems are ideally suited to enhance the adhesion of bottle labels and printing prior to application. The semi-auto bagging system encloses single layers of bottle rows into easily handled and sanitary sealed plastic bags.
Ska Fab offers the semi-auto bagger in rear-load and side-load configurations. We also offer a wide range of conveyance solutions designed to meet your specific speed and space requirements. We understand that each operation has its unique challenges and demands, which is why we want to thoroughly assess your needs and collaborate closely with you to explore all available options.

Ska Fab tests all our equipment before shipping to ensure it performs successfully upon arrival at your location. We have conducted tests on various household and personal care containers, including glass containers for beauty products or candles, plastic containers for oils, soaps, cleaning chemicals, and greases, and metal containers for aerosol sprays and gas cans, among others. Each video showcases the optional discharge and decline conveyance that can be purchased with that particular unit.

4 things to consider when looking for a depalletizer
When selecting a depalletizer, several key factors must be considered: speed, space, pallet weight and budget. These factors will help us determine which 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:
- Pallet-loading conveyors and pallet stackers to speed up pallet changeovers.
- Extended accumulation tables to allow for additional layers of containers to be loaded to keep feeding the filler during pallet changeovers.
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 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. By establishing a clear financial framework from the beginning, we can help to ensure that all decisions align with your project.
