Industry 4.0 is the future... Foodmach are right at the cutting edge.” Project Director, Dulux

Foreword from our CEO We understand the challenges our customers face in an everchanging FMCG landscape. The constant evolution of packaging requirements, new equipment safety standards and timelines to be met.

Next Generation Technology that adds value to your operations. We extend our thinking beyond simple equipment manufacture, to design innovative and ground-breaking ways to meet requirements for flexibility and efficiency. For instance: FACTORY SIMULATION Planning for a new production line typically involves the selection of individual pieces of equipment – for example fillers, labellers and palletisers – without really knowing if the machines will work together efficiently and effectively. Foodmach’s 3D Line Simulation software turns traditional 2D plant layouts into a 3D visualisation and...

ENHANCED USER INTERACTION By using intuitive and simplistic design, we focus on providing the operator with a consistent and easy way to interface with complex packaging machinery. A good example of this is the award-wining Robomatrix®, our high-speed palletising system incorporating robotic pattern forming and proprietary software, which has become the gold standard of high-speed beer and beverage palletising in Australia and internationally. It was created in response to an industry-wide need for increased flexibility to handle everchanging and complex packaging configurations. Instead of...
