Shemesh’s robotic-based household and chemical liquid bottling turnkey solution was designed to handle the entire packaging process – from feeding, filling, capping, and labelling to case packing, and palletizing for a wide variety of container and cap shapes and sizes.

The new TKS-B100 is a seamless, uninterrupted bottling line for cleaning products and liquids such as bleach, as well as corrosive and flammable materials, which operates at an impressive rate of 100 bottles/min. The line features an integrated advanced vision system and multiple ABB Delta Robots for product unscrambling - utilised by ETNA, an automatic bottle unscrambler that can distinguish between bottle shapes - as well as multi-capping and case packing.

Shemesh’s BuckIt TKS25 bucket filling system (shown) features automated feeding for both buckets and bucket lids with separate continuous denesting machines each featuring a servo-driven interchangeable vertical carousel cartridge for continuous denesting.

Shemesh’s BuckIt TKS25 can pack up to 25 buckets/min and includes the FGW-J buckets filling and dosing machine for liquid products or an auger filler for powders.

The system is complimented by a buckets lids fastener and the CAROLUS bucket labeling machine. It includes a handle treatment mechanism and a proprietary precision orientation system that ensures the label is placed in exactly the same position on each and every bucket.

It is designed for use in the food and beverage, chemicals, and pharmaceutical markets. The system is also available with additional modifications for the packing of jumbo nonwoven wet wipes in buckets.

The line is completed by a host of end-of-line options including the Relentless-J case packer and Apollon Palletizer.

The wipes packaging version of the line includes Shemesh’s SAS-J vertical wipes buckets stuffer.

The wipes line FGW-J utilizes Shemesh-designed, height-adjustable wide nozzles for completely homogenous wetting of nonwoven rolls.
