Robopak: Simple and Cost Effective!
Robopak provides a simple, cost effective, reliable solution to the problem of packaging blow molded containers into boxes. The Robopak System has been specifically designed to deal with the unique requirements of the blow molding environment.

Simple change-overs, job data storage and portability are just a few of the important features incorporated into this system. No longer will it be necessary to juggle priorities, shut down machines, or miss important deadlines due to absentee packers. Robopak will be ready, willing and available to pack your product ensuring that you can meet your most critical deadlines.


Flexible Design The Robopak System has been designed to provide for most packaging situations. It is available in two basic configurations, single station or dual station. The single station packs one box at a time and will keep pace with most single or dual station extrusion blow molders, injection blow molders or smaller P.E.T. lines. The dual station system is capable of handling higher capacities, such as long stroke extrusion machines, wheel machines, multi-cavity reciprocating screw machines and medium output P.E.T. lines. Wide Product Range Robopak can accommodate a wide range of container shapes and sizes. Containers from just a few ounces up to one gallon are typical sizes that can easily be run. Special features such as the container turning mechanism provide a variety of packaging patterns and configurations. Neck up, neck down, or a combination of both can be easily achieved. Boxes can be as large as 30” square by 30” high and are fed in and out of the system on a specially designed roller conveyor. Efficient Change-Over Changing from one container size to another has been given special consideration, made easier by the use of such features as the vacuum in-feed conveyor that indexes containers into position, eliminating the need for guide rails inside the machine. Quick change-over tooling and job data recall are the two important features that provide the most efficient change-over possible for this type of equipment. Reliability Robopak is manufactured using the most up to date and reliable components available. The servo system and drive components are used by the most discriminating and highly respected machinery manufacturers in the world. You can be confident that your Robopak System will perform reliably in the twenty-four hour, seven day a week environment that is typical of the blow molding industry.	Touch Screen Set-Up Machine operation and set-up is performed via the touch screen. The control system is menu driven and has been designed to lead the operator through step-by-step menus, enabling machine operation by personnel with limited technical experience. Set-up is made simple and easy by the creative use of set-up screens. By inputting the container height and width, the number of rows and number of layers, the smart control can calculate the rest. This set-up data can then be stored into memory and recalled the next time you run the job. Portability Proco is intimately aware of the manufacturing needs of blow molders, therefore all Proco equipment is designed to be portable. Robopak is fitted with heavy duty casters and can be moved easily from one location to another as schedules or other production demands may dictate. This feature will provide you with the most flexibility and ensure that you will receive maximum return on your capital investment in the shortest period of time. Vacuum Bag Control If you use typical polyethylene bags to line the inside of your boxes, Robopak can be supplied with a special optional feature that utilizes a vacuum to draw out the air from in between the bag and the box. This ensures the bag will not interfere with the end of arm tooling during the packaging process.
