VERSATILITY. ACCURACY. SIMPLICITY.
DRY & LIQUID PACKAGER
Small Footprint. Big Impact.
The touch screen control interface, integrated with an automation controller, makes the ExpressPak a favorite of machine operators. The ExpressPak filler utilizes intermittent motion to vertically form, fill, and seal both mixed and pure liquid products spanning a wide range of viscosities and textures. Our modular design minimizes changeover time and reduces the costs of change parts, making ExpressPak a smart business decision for your bottom line, too.

Retrofitting
We now can retrofit older machines with new parts to match the speed and quality of new machines. To see if your machine is compatible for retrofitting, please contact us.
Safety
At Ropak, our focus is on more than just manufacturing quality high-speed equipment. Designing operator safety features into each machine is critical.
With our engineering team, safety is not an afterthought. We build the latest safety technology into the designs to minimize the hazards the moving parts pose to personnel on the floor. Our designers are incorporating safety systems into the automation controllers through networking capabilities. Not only does the use of advanced network technology increase the machine’s responsiveness to a hard stop command, it also reduces the time and cost for building the machines. For our customers, it’s a win–win situation: improved safety features and lower machine costs.
