End-of-line packaging includes all machinery at the end of the production process, used to complete the packaging of products before their final dispatch and transport.
The optimisation of this phase, following the so-called 'primary packaging', plays a key role in the improvement of production processes. Indeed, in an increasingly competitive business environment, automation of packaging processes is a crucial factor in ensuring efficiency and productivity.
Companies are investing more in automation because of the labour shortage, to protect employee health and to meet the high productivity standards imposed by the market.
According to the End-Of-Line Packaging Market Report, the market size for end-of-line packaging will see significant growth in the near future, with a CAGR of 4.4 per cent.
Automating end-of-line packaging processes offers the following advantages:
At MF TECNO, we have decades of experience in end-of-line packaging.
We specialise in the design and development of complete packaging systems. Turnkey solutions for secondary and tertiary packaging. As part of our extensive machinery portfolio, we offer numerous options for the post-bagging phase. Case packers, pick & place systems, bundlers, palletisers and pallet wrappers.
In this article, we will take a closer look at our case packers, shrinkwrappers, cartesian palletisers and pallet wrappers.
Our MF CUBE is an ideal solution for packaging bags, bricks or cartons in an American box. It is a flexible option that can be easily integrated with existing systems.
A single model, characterised by a modular and compact design, made entirely of 304 stainless steel and comprising:
A single machine that includes the steps of forming, loading and tape sealing using hot-melt glue.
Different gripping systems are available according to customer requirements and project specifications.
It is a dependable, high-performance solution for continuous flow packaging with shrink film of:
Extremely flexible option for products arriving on the conveyor belt in a horizontal or vertical position.
Normally designed to be inserted into existing production lines. Fully automated and equipped with robust stainless steel construction, it is ideal for medium and high production.
The control panel allows a wide range of adjustments, depending on the products to be packed and the film thickness to be used.
We specialise in the production of a wide range of palletisers and anthropomorphic robots. Automatic and semi-automatic solutions that are characterised by high technology and flexibility of use.
Below is a brief overview of some of our flagship machines.
The MF PCA SMART palletiser processes loads of up to 50 kg with an output of up to 500 cycles per hour.
It is an ideal and particularly popular option when working in confined spaces and prohibitive environments. Its compact size makes it extremely flexible and reliable.
In fact, the structure is just under 3 metres, while the finished pallet has a maximum height of 1800 mm (including pallet). The small footprint therefore makes it easy to place in any end-of-line.
In our long experience, numerous projects have featured our intelligent palletisers. Both as single installations and as projects that included an upstream packaging system.
This robot palletiser enables the processing of numerous product types: bags, boxes, crates and bundles.
The palletising robot is designed for the use of various gripper systems. These can be customised and numerous options can be added according to customer requirements.
The principal types of gripping systems are:
Different versions are available, depending on the projects presented by the customer. The main ones are:
Basic version: the material is placed in pallets on the ground or on semi-automatic wrappers integrated into the palletising scheme.
Automated version: This is a particularly popular option, characterised by limited operator intervention.
In fact, from the automatic, specially prepared pallet magazine, roller conveyors and chain conveyors ensure the continuous infeed and evacuation of the pallet.
The palletiser is exceptionally easy to use. The operator can independently modify the palletising scheme through the integrated PLC system with a touch screen panel. This allows it to be adapted to different production demands.
There are different control and security systems, such as:
The MF PCA SMART PRO palletiser is the development of the previously mentioned PCA SMART model. A solution that, alongside the features and advantages of the basic version, offers greater productivity.
It thus combines the compacity, versatility and ability to work in prohibitive environments, typical of the standard version, with high productivity.
In fact, it achieves outputs of up to 800 cycles/hour for loads of up to 50 kg.
In comparison with the basic version, it features:
Our extensive machine park also includes automatic and semi-automatic pallet wrapping machines. Most often as a complement to existing palletising systems.
Rotating table wrapper MF Wrap 35 enables fast and reliable wrapping with stretch film.
It is designed for applications up to 2000 kg and for hourly production rates of 30 to 35 pallets per hour.

This is an extremely flexible and reliable option for loads of up to 1,500 kg.
The operator is involved in the initial phase of attaching the stretch film to a corner of the pallet, just before the machine starts the wrapping operation.
