Bringing the cream business full circle

To complete their cream business, COVAP had already invested in various packaging machines for retail and industrial cream products. However, they faced a gap in their automation process when it came to packaging their butter product. At that point, there weren't any ready-made solutions available on the market, but COVAP discovered a reliable partner in Pattyn, known for its experience and pioneering work in industrial packaging. Together, COVAP and Pattyn started an innovative journey developing the first-of-its-kind bag-in-box butter filler.

Covap and Pattyn hand in hand

The biggest challenge in engineering this new packaging line was designing a system that could smoothly handle the thick, sticky texture of butter and precisely dispense it into the packaging into boxes without any problems.  

"It was a great challenge, a great success for both parties, to work together to achieve the final goal which undoubtedly enriched both sides of the experience," Lucia Seco explains. 

As a result, the butter filler now precisely measures weight and doses accurately. Moreover, it's versatile enough to accommodate various butter textures

 

Butter smooth cooperation

Lucia shares her satisfaction with the collaboration between COVAP and Pattyn. “The service has been and continues to be outstanding, with technicians swiftly resolving any issues that arise. Not only are they skilled in programming, but they also possess in-depth technical knowledge of every component on the line.”

Working with COVAP has been as easy as spreading butter! Thank you for placing your trust in Pattyn’s expertise!
