Keeping Production Moving: RB1200 Palletiser Rental at Premier Foods Lifton
Reeco has installed an RB1200 palletiser at Premier Foods’ Lifton site as part of a rental agreement to support production during ongoing refurbishment works.
With sections of the factory temporarily offline, the site required additional palletising capacity to maintain output without disrupting existing operations. The RB1200 was deployed onto a (product type) line, running at approximately (line speed) across a (shift pattern), where it was able to take on palletising duties immediately.
Installation and commissioning were completed within a short time frame by the Reeco team, allowing the system to be brought online quickly and without impact to production. Once in place, the palletiser integrated into the existing process with minimal adjustment, supporting operations while refurbishment work continued elsewhere on site.
Designed for ease of use, the system was quickly adopted by operators and required minimal input across shifts. Throughout the rental period, the RB1200 delivered consistent, repeatable performance in day-to-day operation.
It’s been a fantastic machine, never missed a beat, and the performance has been a credit to your guys up there in Wales. It has been a pleasure to work with you right from the start.
From Reeco’s perspective, the project demonstrates the role rental can play in maintaining production during periods of change.
“Rental allows customers to bring in additional capacity quickly, without long-term commitment,” said Gareth, Technical Sales Manager from Reeco. “In this case, it meant production could continue as normal while work was carried out elsewhere on site. The focus is always on getting systems in, set up properly, and running without disruption.”
The project highlights how short-term automation can be used to support output during refurbishment, upgrades, or shifting production demands, providing manufacturers with a flexible way to maintain throughput.
