Food & Beverage Packaging Systems

In the food and beverage sector, your production and distribution teams can only be as efficient as the assembly lines they manage. A successful production line has to be fast, safe, and efficient as possible. This is why PMI KYOTO takes pride in our ability to design, engineer, and assemble custom food packaging systems that enable increased throughput for your bottom line. Whether you’re handling dairy cartons, delicate snack mixes, or canned food products, our food packaging machines are completely personalized to your products and their unique requirements.   

The team here at PMI KYOTO takes all aspects of your products into account when designing our automated food packaging systems. This includes the conditions in your facilities as well as the characteristics of the end product. We take a close look at temperature, humidity, potential for condensation, and more to ensure we provide you with the automatic food packing machines that will live up to your specifications.  

Packaging materials and anything that could even be exposed to edible products for a moment must be handled in the most hygienic manner. This is essential for compliance with all regulations and to keep food safe for consumers. However, this also needs to be balanced with throughput.  

This is why our food and beverage packaging equipment is custom made with replacement parts that keep safety top-of-mind. All our food and beverage packaging machinery is designed to be taken apart and cleaned as quickly as possible. This means you can keep your machines clean and hygienic while maintaining a fast and efficient workflow. We offer washdown, rust protection, and stainless-steel options to accommodate all types of factory environments and high-speed case packers.  

When it comes to integrating with existing upstream/downstream equipment, PMI KYOTO offers solutions engineered to be the perfect fit. Our systems are designed to fit seamlessly into fillers, labelers, sealers, inspection systems and more. With full support for various communication protocols, our solutions facilitate greater line control and visibility. This ensures your operations can gain the full benefits of automation, including reduced downtime, fewer manual touchpoints and higher throughput. Thanks to our customization options, you can be sure these machines also will provide compatibility with your layout and maintain your production timing.

The modular design of our solutions means components can be switched out, lanes can be reconfigured and changeovers can be performed without tools. This gives you the flexibility and adaptability you need to handle seasonal products, short-run SKUs, evolving formats and co-packing capabilities. You’ll save time and money compared to replacing or reconfiguring entire machines to accommodate every change.

Due to our years of experience working with various consumer industries, we’re more than capable of customizing a food filling machine for you and your specific applications. Our team will listen to your unique needs and design a high-speed solution that works with your products as well as your existing floor layout. From confectionary to dairy packaging machines, we will consider your product as well as any other explicit packaging conditions that need to be met. Check out our machinery by food product to see what kind of food packaging machines we’re known for producing.

BLOCKED CHEESE 

Utilizing a compact design with a small footprint, we built a washdown case packer for flow-wrapped products to meet the needs of a customer in the cheese industry. The machine performs custom collation of flow wrapped packs of cheese, forms and seals the cases, gently and efficiently loads the cheese into cases, and tucks, glues, and secures the case flaps. 

PASTA 

PMI KYOTO designed and constructed an all-servo wraparound case packer for smooth, compact handling of long pasta. This machine is capable of handling both wraparound and side-load Regular Slotted Container (RSC) cases and trays, features a custom in-feed product-handling system, operates at speeds up to 30 cases per minute, and consistently glues and closes cases. 

BAKING SODA 

We built a customized vertical cartoner with volumetric filler that provides superior carton control and handling, while operating at speeds up to 100 cartons per minute. Features include an integrated pour spout and labeling station, a servo-driven rotary carton feeder, a servo-driven volumetric filler with vibratory product feeder, continuous motion filling, and servo flap tucker and electric glue guns for sift-proof gluing. 

Working with PMI KYOTO means you receive more than dependable and adaptable packaging equipment for your food and beverage operations. We also provide full lifecycle support for your machinery. Even long after the installation is complete, we stand by your side to offer hands-on employee training, spare parts access and remote or in-person technical support. Unlike many of our competitors in the food packaging industry, we won’t leave you high and dry after your equipment is installed. We’re committed to forming a long-term partnership with you, giving you access to our engineering-led team so you can receive the highest levels of ROI from your new equipment.

Our team of engineers and fabricators all are highly trained and industry-tested, with countless years of experience under their belts. We strive to be a true partner with you, never disappearing after the initial consultation like so many others. Even after we deliver your snack packing machines, we continue to offer support through training, maintenance, and initial setup after delivery.
