The Duravant family of operating companies serve the food processing, packaging and material handling segments.

The term ‘Smart Machine’ implies an equipment that is better connected, much flexible, more efficient, and safer. This concept is exemplified by an advanced "Smart Packaging Machine" which, based on a collection of smart, connected products, maximizes efficiency via intuitive collaboration with its users.

Connectivity

To support the digital transformation in the packaging industry, we have developed Mespack Athena, which emerges as the ultimate game-changer by seamlessly integrating machine control and data analysis functionalities into an intuitive user interface. 

Autopilot is Mespack’s new state of the art technology that allows the machine to automatically adjust the optimum operating temperature and pressure parameters (depending on the type of recyclable film).

  • Less changeover time
  • Highly skilled operators are NOT required
  • Online reel control for interior variation
  • Operator’s require less labor hours for testing new material

Autosplicer is an automatic splicing technology that was developed to avoid machine downtime and reduce material waste during roll changes.

  • Save 5 to 10 minutes for every 2 hours of production
  • Reduce the operator’s working hours in format changes
  • Highly skilled operators are NOT required

Autochangeover allows an automatic changeover of the pouch format, thus helping to reduce machine downtime and increase the changeover accuracy.

  • Reduces material waste in machine adjustment
  • Reduces up to 20-40% in changeover time
  • Reduces the operator’s labor hours in format changes
  • Highly skilled operators are NOT required

Advanced Maintenance. Predictive maintenance analyzes the condition of the piece based on its operation, wear, and tear; it is able to predict forthcoming breakdown. Preventive maintenance pertains to the periodic performance of scheduled maintenance according to the useful life of each part in order to avoid breakdowns and production downtime.

Recyclable Ready Mespack machines are designed to be easily adaptable to operate with recyclable of compostable material and paper. They have the ability to not only work with both new materials and traditional laminates, but also maintain efficiency and consistently guarantee superior performance.

Connectivity is now possible thanks to Athena Cloud, which makes use of artifical intelligence in the packaging industry. You can have production data visibility at any time and anywhere around the World. Furthermore, several machines in the same or different production plants can be supervised from any device such as a PC, tablet, or mobile phone, enabling comparisons across machines or plants and receiving production alerts.
