Sliced bread loaves ready for automatic packing

Case study · Packaging machinery · Sultanate of Oman One packing machine for a bakery's entire range.

A commercial bakery in Oman needed to pack many products of different shapes and sizes without buying a machine for each. Cratedge engineered and exported one machine that packs them all.

Project summary

At a glance.

The short version, for procurement and engineering teams evaluating a similar project.

ClientA commercial bakery in the Sultanate of Oman
Supplied byCratedge, Engineering & Machinery division (Pakistan)
EquipmentOne industrial packing machine, custom-engineered
ChallengePacking a wide range of bakery products with different shapes, lengths and heights
SolutionA single machine designed around the bakery's full product range, with adjustable product guides and format settings for short changeovers
VerificationBuilt and run against the client's own product dimensions before dispatch
DeliveryExported from Pakistan with full export documentation, operating manual and spare-parts list; installed at the bakery in Oman
OutcomeThe bakery's whole range packed on one line, from one operator station
The project

From one problem to one machine.

The challenge

The bakery produces a wide range of products, each with its own shape, length and height. A dedicated packing machine for every product would have multiplied capital cost, floor space, maintenance and operator headcount.

Our engineering response

Instead of designing around a single product, we designed around the bakery's full range. Adjustable product guides and format settings let operators switch from one product to the next with a short changeover.

Tested on real dimensions

The machine was built and run against the client's own product sizes before it left Pakistan, so performance was proven before shipment, not discovered on site.

Exported & installed

It shipped with export documentation, an operating manual and a spare-parts list, and was installed at the bakery in Oman.

The outcome

One machine, one operator station, and the bakery's whole range packed on a single line.
