Dairy Packaging IML + Vision Inspection + Stacking + Bagging Automation Solution

Addressing the requirements of dairy packaging such as yogurt cups, ice cream cups, cream containers, and cheese containers for high efficiency, high quality, high hygiene standards, and stable production, SWITEK provides a fully automated packaging production solution integrating in-mold labeling (IML), automatic extraction, vision inspection, stacking, and bagging.

The system uses the injection molding machine as the core production unit. Through the in-mold labeling system, labels are precisely placed in the mold cavity, and the integrated combination of labels and products is completed simultaneously with injection molding. After product molding, the automated robotic arm completes extraction and transfer, and the vision inspection system performs online inspection of product appearance, label position, and molding quality. Qualified products then enter the automatic stacking, counting, and bagging process, achieving continuous automated production from injection molding to finished product packaging.

Through multi-process coordinated control, manual intervention and intermediate transfer are reduced, improving production efficiency while achieving stable control of product quality, providing an efficient, reliable, and sustainable intelligent manufacturing solution for the dairy packaging industry.

Core Advantages

Integrated Automated Production

Integrating IML in-mold labeling, product extraction, vision inspection, stacking, and bagging into one system, achieving seamless connection of the production process and reducing manual operations.

High-Speed Stable Production

The robotic arm, IML system, and backend automation equipment operate in coordination, matching rhythm according to product and mold parameters, meeting the large-batch, high-efficiency production needs of dairy packaging.

Online Vision Inspection

Equipped with a CCD vision inspection system, it performs online inspection of product appearance and label status, promptly identifying label offset, defects, and abnormal products, and achieving automatic rejection of defective products.

Precise Stacking and Counting

Automatically completes product arrangement, counting, and stacking according to product specifications and packaging requirements, ensuring accurate product quantity and neat arrangement, providing a stable product flow for subsequent bagging.

Automatic Bagging Reduces Labor Costs

Completes automatic product bagging through packaging robots and vertical packaging machines, reducing manual contact and improving packaging efficiency and cleanliness of the production environment.

Flexible System Design

Performs system matching according to injection molding machine, mold cavity count, product size, production rhythm, and packaging requirements, flexibly configuring different automation functions to meet the production needs of different dairy packaging products.

Solution Features

IML In-Mold Labeling: Labels directly combine with products during the injection molding process, reducing traditional labeling procedures and improving label positioning accuracy and product appearance consistency.
Automatic Extraction and Transfer: The high-speed robotic arm completes finished product extraction and inter-process transfer, reducing manual intervention.
CCD Vision Inspection: Online inspection of product and label quality, achieving quality control during the production process.
Automatic Rejection of Defective Products: Automatically diverts abnormal products after detection, preventing defective products from entering subsequent packaging processes.
Automatic Counting and Stacking: Completes product organization and stacking according to preset quantities, ensuring accurate packaging counts.
Automatic Bagging: Products automatically enter the packaging station, completing bagging and sealing, improving overall production efficiency.
Centralized Control: Each automation unit operates in coordination, achieving unified whole-line rhythm, status monitoring, and production management.
High-Hygiene Production: Reduces direct manual contact with products, suitable for dairy packaging fields with high requirements for production hygiene and cleanliness.
