Automated KOCH packaging line with multiple machine modules and handling systems

Turnkey Solutions

How do you turn many process steps into a consistent solution?

From product and packaging development to assembly and filling, and on to primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging: KOCH develops and integrates your process chain as a coordinated overall system.

Turnkey at KOCH

The line begins with the product, not with the machine layout.

Product, packaging, target output, quality requirements, formats, and production environment determine which processes need to be integrated. Therefore, we first consider the entire requirement and develop the appropriate process steps from it.

Depending on the task, it is based on proven standard machines, flexible modular lines (KMO), individual engineering solutions, or a targeted combination. Assembly, filling, testing, labeling, and packaging are planned as an interconnected process from the beginning.

Your process chain. Holistically conceived.

From the first product and packaging idea to the ready-to-ship unit, we consider all process stages as an interconnected system.

Turnkey in Motion

This turns individual process steps into a continuous line.

The interaction is decisive. Product assembly, filling, as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging must be technically and temporally coordinated.

The video shows a turnkey solution from KOCH and makes these individual process sections visible. This makes it comprehensible how a continuous line is created from product assembly, filling, and the various packaging stages.

Requirements & Conception

A concept from the overall requirement

We consider the product, packaging, production goals, and future requirements together. This results in a line concept that effectively integrates the necessary processes, technologies, and levels of automation.

Process coordination

Secure transfers in the process

Assembly, filling, testing, labeling, and packaging influence each other. Therefore, we plan and integrate the handovers between the individual process steps as a fixed component of the overall solution.

Project management

Clear responsibility in the project

Engineering, integration, tests, acceptances, and ramp-up follow a coordinated project structure. KOCH coordinates the involved technologies and partners with clearly defined responsibilities and milestones.

Holistic System Integration

The right technology for every process step

A turnkey solution does not have to consist exclusively of KOCH technologies. What is crucial is which solution is technically and economically sensible for the respective process step.

KOCH combines its own machines and modules with specialized partner solutions and aligns the components with the overall system. This way, a continuous line with clearly defined interfaces is created from different technologies.

The appropriate technical way.

Three ways to your Turnkey Solution

Turnkey describes the holistic solution along your process chain at KOCH. Which machine solution is right for you depends on your specific requirements.

Standard machines

Proven technology for clearly defined processes. Feeding, handling, control, labeling, and end-of-line can be supplemented to suit the application and integrated into the overall system.

Modular Lines (KMO)

If products, formats, or performance requirements change, the KMO provides flexible expansion options. Functions and modules can be specifically added and adapted to new requirements.

Customized Solutions

If the product, material, or process requires special functions, we develop project-specific solutions and integrate them into the entire process chain.

Product & Packaging Competence Center

The right solution is created before the first machine is built.

In the KOCH Product & Packaging Competence Center, we bring product, packaging, and process together early. We analyze requirements, test materials and packaging concepts, develop prototypes, and test relevant process steps.

This allows technical feasibility, packaging design, and later production to be coordinated early. The results create a reliable basis for the system architecture and the decision on which functions are implemented in a standardized, modular, or individual manner.

  • Analyze product and packaging requirements
  • Test materials and processes
  • Develop prototypes
  • Evaluate feasibility
  • Coordinate packaging and automation
  • Define suitable system architecture

Turnkey for different products and markets

Two insights into our broad segment portfolio

Products and markets place very different demands on processes, automation, and packaging. The following applications exemplify how KOCH connects individual process steps into a coordinated turnkey concept.

They show a section of our portfolio for consumer goods and healthcare. In addition, there are numerous other applications as well as our solutions for contact lenses.

Turnkey in practice

Different products lead to different solutions. Our projects demonstrate how KOCH integrates product requirements, machine concepts, automation, and packaging processes in practice.

Turnkey does not end with commissioning.

A turnkey solution must function reliably in everyday production and be able to evolve over its lifecycle. That is why we consider digital solutions and service as part of the overall concept from the very beginning.

Digital Solutions

KOCH K 4.0 smartpacks and digital applications create transparency over machine and production, support operation, and provide the basis for data-based analysis and further development.

Global Services

From qualification and training to spare parts and service agreements, to retrofits, field service, and service consulting, we accompany your solution throughout the entire machine lifecycle.
