The FMCG packaging (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) sector covers a plethora of plastic products, derived from PP, PE and PET plastics and from injection and blow moulding processes. These form the common packaging we see on the shelves of our supermarkets, such as containers for personal heath products (tubes and bottles). These can be complex in design, profile and appearance, as multiple are combined to deliver unique end-user experience, as well as to meet ever-changing demands for ergonomics and aesthetics. Within FMCG packaging, plastic alternatives such as bamboo are also becoming more popular as the collective focus of manufacturing seeks to reduce the negative effects on the environment and promote sustainability.

PCE have evolved with these customer challenges, to produce agile automated solutions that offer greater flexibility, (in terms of the products that can be handled) whilst delivering the throughput, functionality and results from the customer demands.

Automated solutions PCE have developed include:

Generally Produced by Injection Moulding

• Out of Mould Closing
• Assembly Machines
• Packaging (Box Indexers, Diverters and Case Loaders)
• Test Machines (Leak, Flow, Vision Inspection, Electrical Testing)

Generally produced by blow moulding; EBM (Extrusion Blow Moulding) and Single /Two Stage Stretch Blow Moulding

• Takeout Robots (MK5)
• Conveyors (Bosch Rexroth)
• Testing Machines (Leak Testing, Vision Inspection, Weighing Systems)
• Lost Head Trepanning
• End of Line Packing Solutions (EOL) (Table, Palletisers etc)

Generally, Injection moulded

• Takeout Robots (Racer)
• IML (In-Mould Labelling)
• Conveyors (Bosch Rexroth)
• Testing Machines ( Leak Testing, Vision Inspection, Weighing Systems)
• End of Line Packing Solutions (EOL) Table, Palletisers etc)
