Family-Owned Organic Food Producer

When this organic producer secured a contract with a national organic retailer, they needed to dramatically increase production while maintaining their strict quality standards. Their existing manual packaging process couldn't keep up with demand, creating a bottleneck that threatened to derail their biggest opportunity yet. With little experience in automation, they were overwhelmed by the complexity of equipment options and concerned about maintaining product integrity.

SW Equipment Group partnered with the organic producer to develop an integrated solution:

‍

1. Engineering: Designed a complete packaging line tailored to handle delicate organic flour products with minimal product degradation
2. Procurement: Selected and sourced compatible equipment including a multi-head weigher, vertical form-fill-seal bagger, checkweigher, and metal detector
3. Installation: Managed the installation and setup of the entire line, ensuring all components worked together seamlessly

‍

With their new packaging system in place, the organic producer achieved:

‍

• A 300% increase in packaging capacity, easily meeting the demands of their new national contract
• Improved product consistency with automated weighing and filling
• Enhanced food safety through integrated inspection equipment
• Reduced labor costs by 45% while reassigning skilled workers to quality control positions

"We were completely out of our depth when it came to automating our packaging," admits the CEO. "SW Equipment Group guided us through every step of the process and delivered a system that maintained our quality standards while multiplying our output. They spoke our language and truly understood our priorities."
