XL bag inserter is game-changer for JTI

Trier is home to JTI, a subsidiary of Japan's JT Group, headquartered in Switzerland. Their biggest challenge? Manually placing large bags into large boxes, and they needed a reliable partner to automate this process. Felix Leinen shares how they found the perfect solution with Pattyn, making their operations smoother and more efficient.

Challenge

Manually placing large bags into large boxes was very time-consuming

Solution

Implementation of the XL bagmaker inserter MAXIM-21-XL, designed for pallet containers, in combination with the XL bag folder DF-21-XL

Result

Less manual labor
Unburdening our employees which brings efficiency benefits
Increase capacity of 50%

JTI prepares tobacco products and packs them into bags and boxes for sale and export. Before Pattyn's machines came into play, their biggest challenge was manually placing those big bags into big boxes. Now, with automation, the process has transformed: foil bags are automatically inserted, filled with tobacco, and sealed.

This change has eased the workload on employees and boosted capacity. Plus, the machine can run for 12 hours straight without needing any interventions. It's a win-win for everyone at JTI!
