Solutions in Action Trepko Group Trepko’s 9106 Form, Fill & Sealing Machine With over 60 years of manufacturing experience and customers in more than 90 countries, the Trepko Group is a long-established market leader in the construction of filling and packaging machinery for the dairy, food and pharmaceutical industries. Allen-Bradley® CompactLogix® Programmable Automation Controller Allen-Bradley PanelView™ Plus 1000 Human Machine Interface Formed in 1947, the company has grown from a single production facility in Denmark to now include manufacturing units in Poland, UK and Sweden, with sales offices in Germany, Norway and Egypt (Middle East). It also has partnership arrangements for Russia, Asia, Australia and South Africa. 2012 saw the opening of Trepko Inc. Tampa, Florida, to help ensure that Trepko is in position to not only support its existing North and Latin American customer base, but also to continue its impressive sales growth in the territory. Trepko continues to maintain its position as one of the leading packaging machinery solutions groups worldwide. For this reason, the company has recently standardised on automation solutions from Rockwell Automation. The company attributes its success to its ability to reflect its customer’s individual demands and requirements through the development of high-tech, reliable and easy-to-maintain machine solutions, which cover all facets of the production line from product supply to palletisations. The company’s range includes machines that make pre-formed containers, forming and wrapping machines, secondary packaging for cases and boxes (including palletising), as well as recently developed equipment for form, fill and seal (FFS ) machinery for cups and trays. “Rockwell Automation worked hard to secure the Trepko account. We understand the importance of working with a component supplier that is well recognised in the market place,” said Hansen. “It is also important on a global stage that the component suppliers included within the Trepko equipment solutions have adequate support structures in place and that this service is available for end users – clearly this is a criteria that Rockwell Automation more than meets,” said Hansen. The latest 822 brick wrapping machine from Trepko will produce up to 250 bricks per minute Examples include the 9106 Form, Fill & Seal Machine, which is capable of forming and filling 9,000 cups per hour. The 9106 features a compact design, which utilises the very latest forming and cutting technology. Together with a unique hygienic frame design, this machine is the perfect solution for any producer, large or small. Trepko also continue to push the development boundaries with its brick forming range of equipment, the 800 series. The latest 822 machine can produce up to 250 bricks per minute and is designed with the most stringent hygienic requirements in mind, which makes it one of the cleanest machines in the market place. All of the equipment has one thing in common, AllenBradley® programmable automation controllers (PACs), Allen-Bradley PanelView™ HMIs and Allen-Bradley Kinetix® servo drives and motors. According to Jesper Bjorn Hansen, Trepko Group CEO: “We listen to our customer’s demands, that is why we have heavily invested in development, both in terms of progressing our mechanical design to improve our machines capabilities, efficiency performance and hygienic standards, and also working with an automation partner that can support us through this process.
