Primary and secondary
packaging

Automated primary and secondary food packaging solutions

At Ferrum Group, we develop custom solutions for primary packaging of unpackaged food products. We provide solutions that adhere to design regulations, traceability, and certifications, all of which are in line with the requirements of EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group). We have experience in primary packaging of finished products in their final customer packaging, as well as wrapping and packaging of products for further internal or external processing.

We supply thermoformers and deep-draw packaging machines as part of a comprehensive solution, but we also have the capability to integrate with packaging solutions provided by other suppliers.

Secondary packaging solutions for packaged foods

Secondary packaging involves a packaging process where products in their primary packaging are placed into, for example, cardboard or plastic boxes, which are then palletized. We have extensive experience in developing solutions for secondary packaging of all types of food products. In the process between packaging and palletizing, we can integrate control mechanisms such as leak tests.

Peripheral equipment for secondary packaging

Stretch wrappers and pallet labelers are typically solutions we provide as the final component in a turnkey solution. However, we also have the capability to deliver equipment for wrapping, label application, inkjet printers, metal detectors, checkweighers, label inspection/visual control, banding machines, etc. on pallets as an integrator/standalone solution.
