Full-bodied successAn excellent wine is only as good as its ingredients – that much is clear. There are, for example, a large number of grape varieties world wide that must be carefully selected.The fruit content, spices and sweetness all contribute to an exceptional wine that one can enjoy and continuously re-discover. Corby Bottlers plc. in the United Kingdom hasapproached this with passion and professionalism. This company has been packing high quality wine from the most diverse wine growing areas for 17 years.Bottle infeed in lanesFolding sectionCarton flap foldingCorby Bottlers is not a productionfacility in the classical sense, butrather takes over the responsibilityof filling the delicious drops ofwine into glass bottles and bag-inboxesfor both large and smallwineries. Thereafter, the wine bottlesare packed in wrap-around casesand delivered to supermarketsthroughout Europe. Corby Bottlersis not only one of the most importantfilling and packing companiesfor wine but is also a notch abovewhen it comes to the subsequentlogistics. The company utilises animpressive warehouse with approximately10,000 pallet storage places,countless storage tanks and its ownresearch laboratory for analysisand quality control.“A feeling of trust” –Meypack’s VP 511 is well receivedWhen the packaging capacities becameinsufficient due to a noticeableincrease in the household consumptionof wine in Britain, CorbyBottlers Managing Director JohnSteel saw the need to consider anexpansion. The existing machinewas to be exchanged for a new,more powerful system. At thesame time, the new packagingsystem also had to be more flexibleand able to run all standard bottleformats.During the competition phase,Meypack was able to beat out threeother competitors by offering itshigh speed VP 511. Not only werethe technical details and the highspeed convincing (up to 50 casescan be packed per minute), but theimpressive maintenance and serviceconcept provided by the machinespecialist from the Münsterarea was also an additional pluspoint. Meypack’s UK representativePenn Packaging, located inBrantham near Manningtree Essex,successfully executed the project.The project ran smoothly and wasable to be completed on schedule.“I was impressed by the technicalquality and the features of the VP511 machine as well as by the engineerswho professionally carriedout the installation. They were theones who gave me a feeling of trustright from the start,” explainedJohn Steel satisfied. “Given thatthere is still reserve capacity available,we will be able to accommodatefurther increases in productionin the future,” added theManaging Director.Representative in the UKPenn Packaging Limited13 Court Farm, Stutton RoadBrantham · ManningtreeEssex CO11 1PWUKPhone +44-1473-327755Fax +44-1473-327756Contact person: Mike GoodwinE-Mail: mike@penn-packaging.comA second chance for the VP 411An Austrian dairy made a conscious decision not to buy a new packaging machine. Instead, it purchaseda used VP 411 and was able to have it in operation very soon thereafter.Bag closing technology on the upswingThe bag closing technology sectionof Meypack, formerly DOBOYand located in Schenefeld/Hamburg,was able to post its best resultssince it was taken over byMeypack.The VP 411 was previously beingused by a company in the fruitjuice industry. The continuous increasein production necessitateda replacement of the system.Meypack took back the VP 411after it had only been in productionfor a very short period of time.The system found a new home atBerglandmilch in Aschbach, Austria.“It was the perfect solutionfor us. We found a system thatmatched our needs and were ableto have it in operation more or lessimmediately and that at an attractiveprice performance ratio. Wewere impressed by the flexibilityof the system,” noted the responsibleproject manager at the Austriandairy. The machine packs gabletopmilk cartons in full producthigh trays at a speed of 12 traysPre-grouping of productsper minute. The VP 411 can processproducts ranging in size from 0.25litre to 0.5 litre up to 1 litre in2 x 5 or 3 x 4 formations.Strong brands – successful companyBerglandmilch is one of the mostsuccessful and largest companiesin the Austrian agricultural sector.With a yearly turnover of over 500million Euros and nearly 1,000 employeesat seven locations, the companycontributes the largest portionto Austria’s dairy production.In addition to various homogenisedand ultra-heat treated milk,Berglandmilch produces and sellscheese, butter and yoghurt for atotal of over 350 different products.The company, founded over 100years ago, is a union of the mostTray closing stationimportant dairy producers in thecountry, having taken over and furtherdeveloped such well-knowntraditional brands like Schärdingeror Desserta.
