Rigid Containers

Case Packing, Palletizing & Depalletizing Solutions for Rigid Container Packaging.

Brenton designs packaging automation for manufacturers handling bottles, jugs, jars, cans, pails, paint cans, rigid containers, trays, bundles, and other bulk product formats. From empty container handling to finished case palletizing, Brenton designs and builds automated end-of-line systems that improve packaging line performance, reduce manual handling, and create reliable repeatability across demanding production environments.

Case Packing Solutions Built Around the Product

Every product has a different shape, weight, fill level, surface, and handling requirement. Brenton case packing systems are engineered around real product conditions, by offering more then just case size variations.

For applications like pull-boy jugs, Brenton’s XCP case packing solution is engineered to help manufacturers load product into cases with controlled handling, efficient changeover, and reliable product placement. The system can be configured around the application to support product orientation, custom case style, entire packgaging line speed, and available floor space.

Whether you are packing rigid containers, household products, food and beverage items, or industrial products, Brenton helps connect the details that matter: product handling, case forming, loading, sealing, conveyance, and downstream palletizing.

Palletizing & Depalletizing for Bulk Containers, Cans, Jugs, and Pails

Brenton’s palletizing and depalletizing solutions are designed for manufacturers that need consistent, repeatable handling of bulk products, cases, layers, and finished loads.

For palletizing, Brenton systems can be built to handle products such as paint cans, pails, cases, trays, bundles, and rigid containers. Robotic palletizing gives manufacturers the flexibility to manage different pack patterns, product sizes, pallet configurations, and production demands without relying on manual stacking.

For depalletizing, Brenton solutions help remove bulk products from pallets and introduce them into the production line with control and consistency. This is especially valuable for manufacturers handling empty containers, cans, bottles, jars, jugs, and other rigid products that need to be placed into the line without damaging product or slowing production.

As a top FANUC integrator for robotic palletizing and depalletizing, Brenton brings proven robotic automation experience into the design of palletizing cells, depalletizing systems, and integrated end-of-line solutions. The Brenton palletizing line can be configured around your application, layout, product type, throughput needs, and downstream equipment.

End-of-Arm Tooling Designed for the Way Your Product Handles

The right robot is only part of the solution. The end-of-arm tool is what allows the system to pick, place, grip, lift, cradle, or vacuum-handle the product correctly.

Brenton is in the top 5 percent for FANUC integrators and of those people in the top 3 percent that design and build their own custom end-of-arm tooling options selected around the product and application, including:

  • Vacuum tooling for cases, trays, rigid containers, and products with stable surfaces.
  • Clamp-style tooling for products that need side control or secure gripping during transfer.
  • Bag and bundle handling tools for flexible or less rigid products that require added support.
  • Layer handling tools like our RL1000 for bulk palletizing and depalletizing applications that require full-layer product movement.
  • Custom end-of-arm tooling for unique product shapes, weights, materials, and patterns.

For products like paint cans, jugs, pails, jars, and bottles, tooling design directly impacts product stability, pallet quality, changeover efficiency, and long-term line performance. Brenton evaluates how the product behaves before designing the robotic handling strategy, helping manufacturers get a solution that works in real production conditions.

Integrated Packaging Automation from Case to Pallet

Brenton partners with manufacturers to connect a full end-of-line process, from case packing to palletizing and depalletizing. This integrated approach helps reduce handoffs between machines, simplify project coordination, and improve how the product moves through the packaging line.

A Brenton solution can support:

  • Case packing and product loading
  • Robotic product handling
  • Bulk depalletizing
  • Robotic palletizing
  • End-of-arm tooling
  • Conveyance and product transfer
  • Pack pattern and pallet pattern management
  • Integrated controls and operator-friendly HMI functionality

When case packing, palletizing, and depalletizing are designed together, manufacturers gain a more complete view of product flow. That means better control from the first product touchpoint to the finished pallet.

Build a Smarter Bulk Product Handling Line

If your operation is handling bulk containers, cans, jugs, pails, paint cans, jars, bottles, cases, trays, or bundles, Brenton can help engineer a packaging automation solution around your product and production goals.
