Technology and sustainability: Ranpak's 3 new packaging solutions in detail

PadPak Multi-Station from Ranpak

Ranpak launches three new automated packaging solutions. From the PadPak multi-station and DecisionTower technology to the Pad'it! automated cushion application, these innovations aim to reduce waste, optimize packaging lines and meet the growing needs of the e-commerce and logistics industries.

Ranpak strengthens its range with three automated packaging solutions designed to optimize productivity and reduce environmental impact. These systems are designed to combine modularity, ergonomics and the use of 100% recyclable materials, thus meeting the challenges of modern supply chains and sustainability regulations.

PadPak Multi-Station for paper wedges on 10 stations

The PadPak Multi-Station system is a centralized device that supplies up to ten packaging stations with 100% recyclable dunnage paper. By replacing individual machines with a single central unit, this solution not only frees up workshop space, but also reduces the costs associated with maintaining and purchasing several individual machines.

Modular and adaptable, the PadPak Multi-Station solution integrates easily into environments of varying dimensions, meeting the specific needs of many industries, says the American manufacturer. Its use also improves workstation ergonomics, by reducing the effort involved in handling packaging materials.

DecisionTower and FillPak Trident: precision through machine vision

The second new feature concerns pack voids. The combination of DecisionTower and FillPak Trident technologies precisely measures this space. Thanks to the DecisionTower computer vision system, the size of the voids in the packages is measured in real time, enabling the FillPak system to automatically adjust the quantity of filler paper required.

This approach optimizes material consumption, with a claimed reduction of up to 35% in the amount of paper used. The paper pads guarantee effective protection while minimizing waste. This solution is particularly relevant for companies seeking to improve their environmental footprint without compromising customer satisfaction during unpacking.

Pad'it! automated interior package protection

With the Pad'it! system, Ranpak offers a fully automated solution for adding corrugated paper padding to packages. This technology enables protective layers to be applied to the top, bottom or both sides of boxes, thus ensuring increased safety for the products being transported. The use of a robotic arm ensures precise positioning of the pads.

Capable of handling up to 15 cans per minute, this solution can be integrated into existing packaging lines.
