rml Engineering - Automated Packaging and Materials Handling Machinery

rml Engineering is an industry leader in packaging automation, materials handling, project management, design and automation. Our expertise covers most production automation industries, including food and beverage, dairy, and production laboratories. We have bases and technical crew in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Production automation specialists

Each of the rml Engineering companies – Projects, Machinery, Automation, Design and Service – can work independently or in combination; this allows for the completion of your project by rml, regardless of size or complexity.

Project management and materials handling mechanical engineering

rml Projects provides project management and engineering services, with expertise in mechanical engineering within the materials handling field. Other capabilities include machinery sourcing and supply, production line/factory relocations, optimisation and automation.

Packaging automation equipment – case packers, carton sealing, and carton and tray erecting

rml Machinery specialises in the manufacture of erecting, packing, closing and other automation equipment for production lines. Machinery examples include:

• Robotic top load RSC case packers: fully integrated case erecting, packing and closing machines, configured to pack a wide range of products into RSC cartons, including bags, blocks, stand up pouches, bottles and bars
• Carton-sealing equipment: stand-alone machines for the sealing of three-flap trays and skillets at speeds from 40/minute to 120/minute; features include pressurized hot melt adhesive units, quick and reliable size changes, and fully interlocked guarding
• Wrap around case-packing equipment: erects and packs wrap around cartons for a wide range of products, from IWS cheese slices with divider boards to 10kg blocks of mozzarella cheese; in feeds and layouts can be tailored to specific project requirements
• General carton and tray erecting: our range of carton and tray erecting machines are fully adjustable and capable of erecting a wide range of packaging types at a range of speeds; either on their own or coupled to downstream packing equipment, they stand their ground against the most competitive erectors available
• Laboratory automation: rml has built a number of highly sophisticated specialized automation solutions for the laboratory production industry; RFID-guided high-speed robotic vial sorting and sample-splitting equipment are recent examples of our capabilities in this area

Machinery control systems – servo systems, robotics, PLCs and sensors

rml Automation develops machinery control systems for a wide range of production applications. Its expertise in servo systems, robotics, PLCs, mechanical devices and sensors is second to none. Additionally, rml Automation is partnered with Egemin for AGV solutions and ABB for industrial robotics.

Machinery design, plant layouts, equipment modifications and modelling

rml Design specializes in machinery design, plant layouts, equipment modifications, modelling and ground-up design. The company has expertise in AutoCAD and Solidworks to best suit the project.
