THE CHALLENGE
Before the Machinex solution, three operators were required for tray forming. Mlekara Kruna also needed a more repeatable process with lower cardboard consumption, improved tray geometry and stronger, more stable finished trays.
THE SOLUTION
Machinex supplied an automated tray former capable of producing up to 22 trays per minute. Machine-controlled forming provides consistent geometry and structural quality, while the optimized tray design reduces cardboard consumption and improves overall packaging stability.
Precision forming with better material efficiency
The Mlekara Kruna project focuses on the quality of the tray itself. Automated forming creates accurate, repeatable geometry while an optimized cardboard design reduces material usage. The result is a stronger and more consistent tray that is better suited for reliable industrial handling and production.
Before Machinex
- 3 operators required for tray forming
- Manual tray forming process
- Higher cardboard consumption
- Greater variation in tray geometry
- Less consistent structural quality
With Machinex Tray Former
- 1 operator required for the machine
- Automatic tray forming at 22 trays per minute
- Reduced cardboard usage through optimized tray design
- More precise and repeatable tray geometry
- Stronger and more stable trays in two-shift production
RESULTS
- Automated tray forming at 22 trays per minute
- More precise and repeatable tray geometry
- Reduced cardboard consumption through optimized tray design
- Improved structural stability and tray consistency
- Direct operator requirement reduced from three people to one with reliable operation across two production shifts
