Peanuts-in-shell goes bag-in-box
The decision to install a turnkey, bag-in-box solution was inspired by the success of one of Jimbo's Jumbos' sister companies. After completing a successful Factory Acceptance Test of their DS-21-HE Hermetic Bag Sealer, they provided proven results and data.
Lauren White explains, "We used their numbers, which were comparable to ours, and determined that this investment would significantly shorten our lead time."
"Since the installation of the Pattyn equipment we have noticed several advantages such as more throughput with less personnel and overhead needed."
Accuracy and performance is the name of the game
"We have been able to reduce our overhead all while providing a more consistent finished product to our customers."
For Jimbos Jumbos the move from manual labor to automation was a learning curve. The ability to rely of the accuracy and performance of the machines has streamlined their packaging process and has given them the added bonus of increasing their throughput.
The dedication and expertise that was shown from Pattyn during this project enabled the team to work together to come to quick and effective solutions for Jimbos Jumbos.
"Our team had great success with partnering with Pattyn. As with any project, there were bumps but the Pattyn team communicated with us well and was able to correct issues in a timely manner."
