Outdated packaging automation slows down a shift about as often as weather does for Nebraska's grain and meat processors. Lincoln is the state capital and Nebraska's second-largest city, anchoring a metro of roughly 345,000 people inside one of the country's leading agricultural states. The city's own economy runs on a mix of manufacturing, insurance, finance, publishing, pharmaceutical, and high-tech work, but it is the agricultural base around it, the grain elevators, dry-mix plants, and meat processors moving product through Lincoln toward retail and export accounts, that drives demand for packaging automation here. A processor serving that base needs a line built for volume and variety at once, running dry goods one shift and bagged product the next, without a full retool in between each time the order changes.
Grain, dry-mix, and meat processors across Nebraska typically need EliteFill auger and powder fillers for bagged and boxed dry goods, paired with Mars Series vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) packaging machines for pouched and bagged formats. Automatic case packers get product onto pallets and out the door at the pace those processors need. One line, three formats. Check our Nebraska location page and food and beverage industry page for the equipment we supply and service across the state; our solutions page then covers how we'll spec your line from filling through case packing for a mid-sized processor.
