38% more output: Upgrade for the Robopacker

C-TECH and WITTENSTEIN increase output to 620 packages per hour thanks to smart gear solutions.

Packaging specialist C-TECH sets standards in the cardboard industry.

Together with WITTENSTEIN, the ultra-fast Robopacker has been taken to a new level of performance: thanks to a complete redesign and the use of our alpha Basic Line and alpha Value Line gearboxes, output has increased from 450 to an impressive 620 packages per hour. A powerful example of smart technology and perfect teamwork.

Specialist in automation of packaging production and logistic

C-TECH, part of the Valtech Group, has more than 20 years of experience in the design and integration of customized systems, material handling solutions, and logistics equipment. From robust machines for solid board to ultra-fast Robopackers, the packaging specialist is constantly developing innovations and improvements. A unique selling point of C-TECH: the company supplies complete systems – including feeders, packers, and palletizers. This makes it a one-stop shop for customers worldwide.

Solution: Smart transmission solutions for maximum performance

The Robopacker was fundamentally optimized in collaboration with C-TECH and the cymex® design tool. The previous heavy gearboxes were replaced by compact models from the WITTENSTEIN alpha Basic Line and alpha Value Line – for more power and less space requirements. The result: 38% more output, faster cycle times, and less stress on the linear axes. Thanks to cymex®, motion profiles can be easily adjusted without the need for extensive training. This results in maximum efficiency with a minimal footprint.

The combination of intelligent redesigns and WITTENSTEIN alpha gearboxes has not only improved performance but also reduced costs.

The Robopacker takes automation to a new level

While other market players only offer part of the solution, C-TECH provides the complete line – from the feeder to the packer and palletizer.

This overall concept offers customers unprecedented efficiency and space savings. The latest Robopacker is also more compact: where comparable machines are often 10 to 15 meters long, C-TECH offers a solution of just 5 meters. This makes the Robopacker ideal for factories where space is at a premium. It can also be perfectly integrated into existing production lines.

Driving Innovation forward together: How C-TECH and WITTENSTEIN are changing the packaging industry

“The support that C-TECH has received in the design and optimization of its systems is invaluable.”

Automation is no longer an option, but a necessity. Companies are faced with the challenge of producing more efficiently with fewer personnel. C-TECH's automated systems allow a single operator to control the entire line – from feeding to palletizing. By partnering with WITTENSTEIN, C-TECH has the opportunity to offer its customers exactly that: higher speed, lower costs and reliable performance. For the engineers, the partnership is a prime example of how the right drive technology not only makes machines faster and more efficient, but also increases a company's competitiveness. C-TECH and WITTENSTEIN will continue to innovate, change the industry together and push the boundaries in the world of drive technology and automation.
