Filling honey is one part of the job. Empty jars need to reach the filler, lids need to be applied, and finished jars need a sensible route to packing. Centreline designs and integrates those stages as a line for your product, containers, available space and target output.
We can combine Centreline equipment with suitable third-party machines and coordinate the complete line. The arrangement depends on your jar and lid formats, product characteristics, production rate and how you want to pack the finished jars.
What can the line include?
- Jar handling: Feeding, conveying and, where required, an air rinser before filling.
- Filling and capping: Equipment selected to suit your honey or jam, containers and closures.
- Finished-jar handling: An accumulation table for manual packing, or a case packer for an automated end of line.
- Pallet handling: Where suitable, a palletising solution can be considered as part of the wider line.
These are possible stages, not a fixed package. We work out the interfaces between machines and the layout before recommending equipment.
Start with the stage you need
You may want automated filling while your team still packs cases by hand. We can plan the layout with a later case-packing stage in mind. If you need a more automated line now, we can assess jar feeding, filling, capping and case packing together. The aim is to make sure a downstream stage does not limit the output of the filler.
The line can be designed for up to 60 jars per minute, depending on the product, containers and final configuration. We assess the output of the whole line against your requirements.
What we need to plan your line
Tell us your current and target jars per minute, jar sizes and materials, lid types, honey or jam characteristics, available room dimensions and how you pack cases today. If you have a floor plan or sample containers, send those too. We can then discuss the stages and layout that make sense for your operation.
