Automated format adjustment for the packaging and beverage industry
Automate format adjustment with the drygear® Apiro® modular gearbox - retrofit or use in new packaging systems
Achieving flexibility even with small batch sizes and automating processes are the biggest challenges, and not just in the packaging and beverage industry. Outdated production systems and high set-up costs often stand in the way of these goals.
One solution is automated format adjustment. Converting large parts of a production line with just one movement results in optimised operating time, greater throughput and minimised set-up costs.
Also perfect for retrofitting
Time
Minimised set-up times and more flexible production cycles.
Safety
Process reliability thanks to high repeatability.
Profit
Fast return on investment and higher output due to the elimination of set-up times.

Automated format adjustment - also for retrofitting
Perfect for the packaging and beverage industry
Automated format adjustment is increasingly used in modern packaging machines and production lines. However, retrofitting automated format adjustment in existing production plants also leads to significant cost savings. With the modular gearbox system, it is easy to integrate lane adjustments, curve adjustments and lateral guides of conveyor systems into existing systems in a space-saving way. Most of the simple assembly can be carried out while production is ongoing, so that downtime is minimised.
