Design & Build
Bread Packaging/Over-wrapper
If there ever was a “Typical” example of Steinmetz’s depth of services, this would be it.
Our customer initially required replacement parts for packaging equipment that was no longer supported by the OEM. We started by reverse engineering and duplicating the original parts, but many seemed overly complex and expensive so we started redesigning. We ended by re-engineering 90% of the machine to reduce part count to approximately 1,500 from 4,000. With our maintenance focused background, every component was examined for performance, durability and ease of service. Bushing were replaced with bearings; cams were replaced by servo, pneumatic and solenoid operated functions where appropriate. This included utilization of current servo, temperature control and operator interface technology. Steinmetz has manufactured 147 all-new and upgraded Overwrappers to date.
