A new MSK installation for decorating and repackaging hollow glass products was put into operation in March in Wiegand-Glas' new, modern re-sorting and packaging centre at its site in Schleusingen (Germany).
Initially planned as straightforward re-sorting system, as project planning progressed it developed into a state-of-the-art re-sorting and packaging system. The engineers at MSK Verpackungs-Systeme GmbH worked together with a technical team at Wiegand-Glas to develop a fully automated handling concept to unpack and depalletize glass pallets, and to control, sort and attach new swing stopper for bottles, and subsequently repalletize them in cases, boxes or as stacked layers of bottles on pallets, and to shrink hood the newly packaged pallets of glass products again.> Wiegand-Glas (Case Study)
