Schäfer & Flottmann – specialists for more than 50 years in the automation of packaging and product sorting processes, principally in the food industry but also for non-food applications. Facing very high personnel and running costs, many major renowned producers world-wide have placed their confidence with us for the fully automatic development of their packaging lines.

Starting with the direct transfer from the production line and going through the temporary storage, the product sorting, the fully automatic packaging and finally the palletizing, we can develop the optimal packaging solution adapted to your demand and to the special conditions required by your product.

The packaging equipment can be designed either as separate components or as complex individually and specifically designed packaging lines, up to the transfer of loaded pallets to the store.

The latest technology is applied to all of our equipment which is of modular design and therefore extendable, including servo driven carton and tray erectors and case packers and, as an alternative choice, robotic technology for packers, sorting systems and palletizing

From the first analysis of your existing installation, through advice on packaging, project development, manufacturing and delivery of the components, to the complete installation and commissioning including the responsibility for the limits of supply – one supplier for the complete line.
