Beverage packagers demand versatility, high package quality, and easy adaptation to product size changes and package additions. Douglas packaging machines incorporate appropriate electronic motion control technologies to ensure the demands are met.

Bottles come in all shapes and sizes and each delivers unique challenges. The new patented Smartrak® Steady Stream Infeed and patented pinless metering rise to each challenge. Bottles are no longer deformed as they travel through the infeed and metering sections, maintaining the high image you have worked so hard to create. Virtually any type of bottle…

• PET or glass
  
• champaign or petaloid base
  
• charged or non-charged products
  
• short to tall bottles

…are run continuously, maximizing production.

The same benefits are realized in beverage canning operations. Using the Smartrak® and pinless metering technologies, cans are not embossed or dented as they traverse the packaging process. We package loose
cans, hi-cone, or cartons into 45 or 90 degree tray/shrink packs, pad/u-board/shrink packs, shrink-wrap only,
or carton multipacks.
