For many packaging lines, full automation is not always the most practical first step, especially when frequent changeovers and challenging bottle designs are involved. Lower production speeds, limited budgets, or the need for visual quality inspections often call for a more pragmatic approach. Manual tray packing, however, is labor-intensive and can lead to inconsistent results.
Delta Engineering’s tray packing solutions provide a reliable, scalable alternative. Designed for rigid plastic bottles and containers, they combine controlled automation with operator involvement where needed. This ensures consistent tray loading, lower investment costs, and a smooth transition toward fully automated end-of-line packaging.

FAQ
The Delta Engineering tray packing systems are designed for rigid plastic bottles and containers in various shapes and sizes. Our systems also enable inverted tray packing where products are placed upside down into trays, offering additional flexibility depending on product stability and line layout.
Tray packing is well suited for low- to medium-speed lines where manufacturers want to automate end-of-line packaging without a large upfront investment.
Delta Engineering tray packers are designed to operate standalone or as part of a fully automated packaging line.
Tray packing stabilizes end-of-line operations by standardizing product grouping and tray placement. This reduces unplanned stops caused by manual packing variability and improves Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), especially on lines where downstream palletizing or handling depends on consistent tray output.
Delta Engineering tray packing systems support fast changeovers through adjustable tooling and recipe-based settings. This allows manufacturers to switch between bottle formats, tray sizes, or layouts with minimal downtime, making tray packing suitable for short runs and frequent format changes.
