Chemical Packaging Equipment

Wayne Automation provides industrial chemical packaging equipment for chemical manufacturers to reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and improve safety.

Providing the Best Chemical Packaging Equipment for a Global Market

Wayne Automation’s SF-400 Quattro Partition Inserter machine.The petrochemical market is currently worth more than $500 billion and is expected to grow by hundreds of billions more by 2027. To sustain this monumental growth, automation will become an increasingly prominent feature of the industry. But this can’t be limited to chemical production. Packaging automation needs to grow in tandem with manufacturing automation to maintain productivity across every level of the supply chain.

Since 1976, Wayne Automation has been meeting the need for robust, comprehensive end-of-line packaging machinery, allowing companies to increase efficiency and exceed expectations in their packaging processes. Here’s how our solutions can benefit the petrochemical industry, and why your company should consider investing in chemical packaging equipment with Wayne.

The Wayne Benefit for Chemical Packaging Solutions

Safer, More Productive Workplaces

Many common petrochemicals, such as sulfur and ammonia, can be irritating, corrosive, and toxic. Even when contained, if a worker is packing chemicals by hand, there is always a risk of exposure. Faults in the containers or mishandled products due to speed demands can cause hazardous spills and lead to costly injuries.

Industrial chemical packaging equipment reduces that risk by bringing workers away from potentially harmful chemicals and replacing human error with mechanical control for a safe environment. Wayne machines allow for consistent, high-volume packaging with integrated sensors to ensure every case is handled correctly.

Automated packaging solutions can also empower chemical manufacturers to improve their resiliency against labor shortages and help them cut the cost of additional employees as labor expenses continue to rise. Delegating their team members to more important and safer tasks ensures a secure, productive work environment, and increases job satisfaction for employees.

Flexible Automated Packaging Solutions for an Evolving Industry

The petrochemical industry requires specialized equipment and containers to ensure the safe packaging of products. One example is the industry’s tendency to use thicker containers to prevent leaking. As a result, end-of-line petrochemical packing machines need to have the power and flexibility to accommodate these containers.

Wayne Automation offers three different styles of case and tray packing equipment. A tray packer with partitions for motor oil? We have it. A wraparound caser with c-pad Inserts for solvents? We have that, too. Whether the application calls for tray packers, wraparound casers, or RSC case packers, we offer a wide range of equipment designed to provide the fastest, most durable solutions for your process.

If you have tight space requirements, you aren’t limited in your choice of chemical packaging equipment. Our superior quality packaging machines, like our WTP Tray Packer or our WMCE Case Erector, can fit in smaller spaces.

Specialized Equipment for Chemical Filling Systems

A massive and growing subsection of the petrochemical industry is bulk powder handling. Products as diverse as detergents, pesticides, and drug additives all fall under this category, collectively representing billions of dollars in market share. These bulk powder petroleum derivatives require special chemical handling and packaging systems to supply this global industry, and Wayne Automation offers powerful solutions with our quality packaging machines.

Our RUC/S-20 is an integrated bag uncuffer and case sealer capable of preparing 20 bags per minute. It utilizes servo-controlled motions, allowing seamless transitions even between random-sized cases. Additionally, the machine offers unmatched protection to delicate poly bags using a high-volume rotary vacuum system. This, combined with a rugged steel construction, allows the RUC/S-20 to work with chemical filling equipment, creating incredibly streamlined processes.

Secure Packing for Confident Shipping

Different chemical products will require different configurations for boxing and shipping, but all require secure, sturdy packaging for distribution. Particularly in the case of volatile or corrosive chemicals, sufficiently tough cases and packaging are essential to safe and successful shipping. That’s why Wayne offers over 40 different partition styles to accommodate unconventional containers and prevent crushing during transport.

We supply nine different partition inserters to cover the packaging and volume needs of any process. Our SF-400 Quattro can handle four cases at once, allowing for 70 insertions per minute without sacrificing flexibility or creating extended changeover times. This means protection for chemical products and extra stability for the case itself, all while accelerating productivity.

Superior Case Handling for Delicate Product Protection

Whether it’s the chemical makeup of a product or the unusual shape of a container, unit and case inversion equipment can be vital elements of an end-of-line packaging system. This process needs to be quick and efficient to maintain productivity. However, cases still need to be handled with care. That’s why Wayne Automation has developed a ‘soft touch’ inversion system that is ideal for the chemical packing industry.

The CI-40 case and product inverters ensure the case never leaves contact with the conveyor, offering continuous control. Its design includes specialized inverter heads, allowing quick changeovers and maintaining flap conditioning on longer boxes during the process. The CI-40 inverts up to 40 cases per minute, delivering incredible efficiency.

World-Class Service for Continuously Improving Your Process
