Technical Specifications & Performance DataThe SMI TF350 is a tray
packaging machine designed for the secondary packaging of PET bottles.
Built in 2009, this industrial packaging machine forms bottle packs
into trays for efficient handling, transport, and distribution within
a used bottling line. It provides a practical solution for beverage
production facilities requiring dependable end-of-line packaging
equipment.Manufacturer: SMIModel: TF350Year of manufacture:
2009Production capacity: 45-50 packs/minContainer handling: PET
bottlesAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThis tray packer is
intended for automated packaging operations, supporting the organized
grouping of PET bottles into tray configurations. Machines of this
type are integrated with synchronized product infeed and discharge
systems to maintain consistent pack flow through the secondary
packaging stage. The TF350 can support streamlined operation in
industrial packaging environments where repeatable pack formation is
required.Production Line Integration CapabilitiesThe SMI TF350 can be
positioned downstream of filling, capping, labeling, and bottle
conveying equipment in a PET bottling line. It is suited to beverage
production layouts where filled bottles must be grouped and prepared
for palletizing or further distribution. Its capacity of 45-50
packs/min enables integration with appropriately matched upstream and
downstream equipment.As a second hand tray packaging machine, it can
be considered for line upgrades, replacement projects, or the
expansion of existing bottling equipment. Correct integration requires
compatible bottle conveyors, pack discharge handling, tray supply
arrangements, and coordination with downstream palletizing or
warehouse logistics systems.Machine Condition & Maintenance HistoryThe
machine is in very good condition and has been regularly maintained.
Extensive annual overhauls have been carried out by the manufacturer,
supporting continued operational reliability. The tray packer remains
in production until September 30, 2026, demonstrating that it is part
of an active packaging process prior to dismantling.Operational
Performance & VersatilityDesigned specifically for PET bottle
handling, this tray packaging machine supports the secondary packaging
stage of beverage production. Tray packing helps create stable,
manageable bottle groups for storage, transport, and subsequent pallet
handling. The machine is suitable for producers seeking used bottling
line equipment that supports organized end-of-line operations without
changing the primary filling process.Its role in industrial packaging
is to convert a continuous flow of bottles into defined tray-packed
units, improving product handling between production and distribution
stages. Final pack configuration and compatibility should be
coordinated with the bottle format, tray design, conveyor layout, and
required downstream logistics flow.Installation Requirements & Site
PreparationInstallation should be planned around the existing bottle
conveyor route and the required infeed and discharge elevations. The
machine is scheduled for dismantling and loading between October 7 and
October 10, 2026. Site preparation should include adequate access for
machine placement, assembly, commissioning, tray material handling,
and connection to the applicable plant utilities.Before installation,
the production line layout should be reviewed to ensure reliable
bottle transfer, sufficient operating access, and correct coordination
with upstream labeling equipment and downstream pallet handling
systems.Safety Standards & Compliance CertificationSafe installation
and operation require appropriate machine guarding, operator access
control, emergency-stop integration, and procedures for tray material
loading and pack discharge areas. During recommissioning, the
equipment should be assessed within the receiving facilitys safety
requirements and connected in accordance with applicable electrical
and operational standards. Routine inspection and preventive
maintenance remain important for dependable operation of tray
packaging machinery.
