Leading independent integrator of packaging lines Autopack has installed a second, higher-speed sauce packaging line for P&B (Foods) Ltd, increasing capacity to up to 200 bottles per minute as the food manufacturer responds to growing demand.
The turnkey line combines an unscrambler, rotary net-weight filler, capper block and rotary wraparound labeller. It represents the latest milestone in a partnership that began in 2023 and has already delivered a series of automation and production upgrades across P&B (Foods)’ sauce and edible-oil operations.
Jonathon Stewart, UK Sales Director at Autopack, said: “This growth story is a great example of how packaging automation can evolve alongside a manufacturer’s ambitions. We’ve worked closely with the P&B (Foods) team over a number of years, supporting them as volumes have increased and helping them remove bottlenecks through targeted investment in higher-capacity equipment.”
