Fresh and protein – mastering variety

The fresh & protein sector changes fast. Supermarkets introduce new products and packaging. Sustainability targets push for less plastic and more mono-materials.

For producers, this means constant change and constant challenges.

In this episode of Handling Xtreme, we enter the world of fresh & protein and test two of our machines in the ultimate Human vs. Machine showdown.

Producers face daily challenges – switching from MAP-trays and flowpacks to skin packs and thermoform, keeping pace with changing consumer demand, meeting sustainability goals without slowing production, and controlling costs while boosting output.

Our universal crate erector and case packer take on these challenges head-on. With 280 case packers operating worldwide, the oldest still running after 23 years, we prove it:

The case packer is the heart of the end-of-line solution. At Lan, we deliver the complete solution: from crate erector and case packer, to dolly/crate loader and palletiser. A seamless line where every step connects, boosting efficiency and reliability from start to finish.

Curious how this works in practice? At Mowi, we installed two turnkey production lines with crate destackers, case packers, and a palletiser.
