In many situations, automating a process is the best way to reduce costs and improve quality through consistency. At K-Ter Imagineering, we understand your need to succeed and work together with you to identify the parts of your process that are holding you back. We work with you to determine the best way to boost production speed and quality and seek to make the job easier and safe for your employees. This can be something as simple as a fixture or tool, an improved guard or as complex as a robot making and assembling parts. Whatever your needs, we will work with you to find the best solution and after the sale, we stand behind our work like no one else.

One area of specialization for us has been customized semi-automatic or automatic packaging machines for packaging large and unusual shaped parts. Our packaging equipment for the Vinyl Siding Industry comes with an integrated palletizing robot and consists of three other machines - a sorting table, packing conveyor, and box end-closing machine that closes and seals the ends of the box automatically.

The Sorting Table receives the siding panels and stacks them in the right order for packing in the Packing Conveyor. The Packing Conveyor folds the box around the Siding and seals the long edge as it conveys the box downstream. The ends of the box are sealed by the Box End Closing Machine and staged for palletizing by the integrated Palletizer. The custom Palletizer can be used with wood pallets or racks of any size and the boxes can be stacked in the best arrangement to maximize the load.

We have also designed and built a totally automatic packaging machine for vinyl siding capable of packaging sixty boxes per hour.

Every part of the packaging system is designed to maximize the safety for the packer, minimize the repetitive motion and increase the rate of production. Our customers have reaped the benefits of better quality packaging, fewer damaged goods, higher rates of production, and better employee retention.
