In 2012 – 2013 We purchased three RML case packers, One to pack gable top cartons and two to pack a variety of dessert products into cartons.
The two packers that are used for the dessert products have the added complexity of an integrated elevator to lift the packs from the forming level to a height which suits the palletiser infeed and provides clearance for a pedestrian walkway.
These machines are running at their maximum output speeds and have performed exceptionally well, requiring only routine maintenance in the form of a weekly service. The elevator system is very reliable and requires little maintenance to keep it performing as it should.
Of all of the types of packers that we have on site (past and present) the RML packers have proven to be one of the most reliable, and easiest to maintain.

Miraka engaged RML to fully design and deliver an end to end packing line from filler outfeed all the way through to our existing pallet stretch wrapper.
The design process went very smoothly with regular reviews and we were fully engaged throughout by RML’s engineering and design team.
Our start up and commissioning went somewhat better than we had anticipated and we have been pleased with RML’s performance and the performance of our new packing line.
In general, we have found the RML team to be professional, proactive and very responsive to questions and quick to resolve any problems for us.

We set a challenging scope for RML to design and build a new butter packing machine for a challenging application. RML grabbed the challenge by the horns and produced a smart and effective solution that exceeded our expectations.
The RML team took the time to understand the requirements for the overall plant and supported areas outside their scope to ensure the overall project was a success.
We look forward to working with the RML team again in the future.
