Kliklok has installed a number of automatic cartoning lines at Weetabix’s site in Kettering, Northamptonshire, to pack Alpen cereal bars and Weetabix biscuits. For the Alpen bars, Weetabix chose ECT500 top load glue erectors, to run a five-pack and 10-pack. The machines were modified to suit the particular Weetabix factory requirements. A joint project with CKF, the two automated lines provided for wrapped packs of Weetabix biscuits each included the award winning Celox cartoner. Kliklok is now working on another new project for Weetabix, to automatically accept wraps of biscuits arriving “on edge” from a buffer storage unit and rotating them through 90 degrees, prior to being cartoned.
