Pro Mach, who powered Brenton, is based out of Cincinnati, Ohio. The company provides integrated packaging and processing products and solutions for a wide array of industries, including, but not limited to, food, beverage, consumer goods, pharmaceutical, personal care, and paper companies. Along with Brenton, Pro Mach powers multiple brands to provide companies with packaging and processing equipment. Other services provided to industries include PMMI certified training, installation, parts, and service in bottle and capping, primary packaging, material handling, flexible packaging, identification and tracking, and end-of-line packaging.
Brenton’s core mission is to design, manufacture, and integrate end-of-line packaging equipment to industries in need of high quality machinery without sacrificing cost efficiency. The company is the leader in the packaging industry, offering servo-technology applications as well as integrated automatic solutions.
Regardless of the complex packaging needs of industries, Brenton has an experienced engineering team ready to find a viable solution that meets and exceeds the demands of companies. Machines available from the company include case packers, palletizers, shrink wrappers, and robotic solutions. As one of the largest providers of Fanuc robotic packaging systems in North America, Brenton is one of the few end-of-line packaging suppliers to customize solutions to meet any requirement.
One of the innovative technologies perfected by Brenton is decentralized motion driven by intelligence. There are several factors that drive the choice for distributed motion control. From power conversion to control and communication issues, it’s essential that machine builders weigh these issues and determine the right approach for each application.
Manufacturers often report the need for less expensive equipment that offers more flexibility and greater efficiency. To accommodate, Brenton Engineering has established a side-loading case packer to meet the needs of industries without driving up the cost of equipment. In fact, this new system features a decentralized motion control, which allows intelligence and engineering to excel.
After testing the new machinery, results recorded higher speed and an easy to use all-servo design. Reducing the complexity of using such machinery, the pneumatics—a costly aspect of the system—was removed. This resulted in the removal of 200 moving parts and a significant cost reduction. The entire design for the system is based on the integrated servo motor and drive, which is half the size of a typical servo system. By combining the servo motor and drive, Brenton machines require less space.
The Brenton engineering staff was able to collaborate and eliminate clutter on the new case packer by incorporating hybrid cables. One cable runs from the new machine’s electrical cabinet to provide both power and communication, resulting in a reduction of cabling by 80 percent.
Other advantages of decentralizing include a small footprint, cost efficiency, and features such as multi-Ethernet-based master communications, safety zones technology, additional distributed field-line, and much more. The cost savings of decentralizing accumulate to about one-third due to less cabling and less energy consumption.
