Industrial packaging and automation are two allies to increase your productivity

Companies involved in the manufacture of furniture, whether made of wood or other materials, cannot turn their backs on industrial packaging.

Wood and the products derived from it must be properly protected in order to be able to store them with guarantees, to move them without running the risk of them receiving blows and to isolate them completely from external agents, such as humidity, which could damage them. 

Although it is almost an obligation to pack this type of products or materials to protect them, it is not always easy to do so, as they are medium and large products.

This means that while it is essential to be able to pack them, it is very difficult to do so with full guarantees if you do not have the right machinery to do so.

Two hurdles to overcome: size and production capacity

It is easy to find packaging machines for small products, but things become more complicated when it comes to packaging medium and large products.

Precisely, the case of furniture or wood products is in the second example and at CMB we have several series and their corresponding models of machinery to resolve this issue. 

The size of these products is not the only obstacle that industries involved in furniture manufacturing or woodworking must overcome, but they must also face high levels of productivity in order to be profitable.

It is not enough to perfectly pack a single piece of furniture all day, but to be able to perfectly pack dozens of pieces of furniture in order to be efficient. The automation inherent in each of CMB’s packaging machines makes this possible.

The following are some of the advantages of automation applied to industrial packaging

In the following, we will try to summarise the main advantages of having automated industrial packaging machinery in the production plants of companies:

  • The moment an automated packaging machine is introduced into an industry, all the advantages inherent in automation are manifested in the production process. This results in increased productivity and greater efficiency.

  • Automation in the packaging process allows a large quantity of products to be handled quickly, without over-committing human resources. Thanks to the packaging speed resulting from automation, it is much easier to achieve the desired goals in terms of efficiency.

  • With automated industrial packaging machines, the packaging can be programmed precisely and in detail. This avoids multiple errors and allows the amount of packaging material used to be optimised to the maximum.

  • Although it may seem paradoxical, automation makes packaging more sustainable. Automated packaging machinery is able to detect with high precision the amount of material required for packaging based on the size of the product. This can significantly reduce surplus packaging material and, consequently, the amount of waste and the impact on the carbon footprint.

Industrial packaging solutions with cold and heat application

At CMB we have an extensive catalogue of industrial packaging solutions to offer solutions to the industrial sectors involved in the manufacture of medium and large products, including furniture and wood.

Our packaging solutions are classified into two main groups: those that use cold packaging methods and those that work through the application of heat. 

Each of CMB’s packaging machine models has been designed to be as sustainable as possible and with the ability to be fully adaptable to the customer’s specific needs. In other words, the customer chooses a packaging machine model that fits his needs and can adjust the size of the infeed or outfeed table, the diameter of the crown, the height of the machine, among others, according to his needs.

The cold industrial packaging options offered by CMB are the COOLPACK, ERL and SUPER P series machines. The machines that work by applying heat are the ERB, ERS and COMBO series machines. If you are interested in knowing more details about their operation, we invite you to consult our catalogue or to contact CMB’s technical sales department.
