Food and Packaging
Filling, packing and palletizing at speeds the eye cannot follow.
Want the mechanism, not just the footage?
We wrote a full explainer for this category: High-Speed Bottling and Canning Lines. What the machine does, how it works, the numbers that matter and who buys one.

4:19 Food and PackagingA high speed line filling mineral water
A complete water bottling line: preforms are blown into bottles, filled, capped, labelled and packed without ever stopping. Lines of this class run at speeds measured in tens of thousands of bottles an hour, and the newest blocks reach 100,000 half-liter bottles an hour. The bottles move so fast the line looks like liquid itself.

4:52 Food and PackagingAn egg grader sorting and packing at line speed
Eggs are handled by machine at rates that seem certain to end in disaster, weighed individually, candled for cracks and packed by grade. Nothing breaks. Egg grading is an object lesson in gentle handling at speed and it is fascinating to watch.

4:30 Food and PackagingBuilding a greenfield brewery filling line
A greenfield brewery line from empty floor to full production, filmed as a project rather than as a machine demo. You see how filler, pasteuriser, packer and palletiser have to be balanced against each other or the whole line stalls. Rare and useful insight into how a line is actually specified.

3:38 Food and PackagingA journey through a carton filling machine
A journey through an aseptic carton filling machine, which forms, fills and seals a sterile package from a reel of laminate while never letting a single organism in. The sterile zone is maintained by peroxide and heat, not by a clean room. It is the reason milk can sit on a shelf unrefrigerated.

2:24 Food and PackagingA canning line filling and seaming
Empty cans arrive on an overhead air conveyor, drop into the filler, get seamed shut and leave in a solid moving wall of aluminum. Canning lines are the loudest and fastest thing in most beverage plants. Two and a half minutes of relentless throughput.

2:22 Food and PackagingA robotic case packer and palletizer at end of line
A robot erects the case, a second robot packs the product into it and a third stacks the finished cases on a pallet, all in one integrated end-of-line cell. FANUC films it running at production speed. This is the single most common automation project in food and beverage plants right now.

2:13 Food and PackagingA filler and capper built as one block
A filling block that combines rinsing, filling and capping on one frame so bottles never travel unprotected between machines. Blocking machines together removes conveyors, buffers and most of the contamination risk. Krones shows the valve carousel doing the work.

1:46 Food and PackagingA cobot erecting and packing cases
A cobot-based case erector and packer small enough to sit at the end of a single line, with no safety fence and a footprint a small plant can actually afford. Automation at this scale is a very different proposition to a full robotic cell. Under two minutes and immediately understandable.
