Automated format adjustment for the packaging and beverage industry

Automate format adjustment with the drygear® Apiro® modular gearbox - retrofit or use in new packaging systems

Flexibility even with small batches and the automation of processes is one of the biggest challenges, not only in the packaging and beverage industry. However, outdated production facilities and high set-up costs often stand in the way of these goals.

Automated format adjustment is one way out. By converting large parts of a production plant with just one simple step, operating time is optimised, higher throughput is achieved and setup costs are minimised.

Automated format adjustment - also for retrofitting

Perfect for the packaging and beverage industry

Automated format adjustment is increasingly being used in modern packaging machines and production lines. However, major cost savings can also be achieved by retrofitting automated format adjustment in existing production plants. The modular gearbox system makes it easy and space-saving to integrate lane adjustments, curve adjustments and lateral guides of conveyor systems into existing systems. Most of the simple assembly can be carried out while production is ongoing, so that downtime is minimised.

The benefits at a glance:

✅ Minimisation of setup times
✅ Continuous and repeatable adjustment of lane width
✅ Synchronisation of many adjustment points
✅ Prevention of application errors thanks to simple operation
✅ Flexible use
✅ Cost-effective automation
✅ Manual or motor drive possible - everything from a single source
✅ Maintenance-free and lubrication-free system
