Efficient Filling of Octabins with Plastic Closures Using Horizontal Vibration for Maximum Space Utilisation

The packaging industry – particularly in the food & beverage, automotive, and pharmaceutical sectors – places high demands on the efficiency and precision of filling packaging units. Plastic closures must be packed compactly, safely, and without damage to minimise transport costs and optimise logistics processes.

Uneven distribution of closures inside the carton
Insufficient space utilisation leading to higher transport costs
Time-consuming manual readjustment
Risk of damage due to improper filling

Our solution

Using a vibrating table equipped with the pneumatic linear vibration system NTK and a FlexiLink coupling, the filling process was automated and optimised.

Horizontally operating vibrating table with lateral leaf springs and large vibration amplitude
Resonance-optimised operation with low compressed air consumption
Integration into the customer’s digital control system for flexible adjustment of duration and intervals
The subsequent purchase of ten vibrating tables confirms the high process reliability

Our advantages

Maximum space utilisation: no voids in cartons – up to 100% fill rate even in challenging areas
Time savings through automated filling
Reduced material usage through optimal carton utilisation and lower transport costs
High process reliability: stable pallets and minimised risk of transport damage
