Electrical Engineering and Controls

​

Can Lines Engineering recognizes that product flow must be smooth and efficient on a packaging line, while at the same

time preventing package damage.  To accomplish this, CLE starts with a well thought out and designed electrical control system that is co-designed with our mechanical engineering solution, to give a solid foundation to your packaging needs. 

 

Our electrical engineers, technicians, and designers have over

30 years of experience providing seamless integration of conveyance systems with packaging machines (depalletizers,

fillers, inspection systems, labelers, packers, palletizers).  Whether this involves all new conveyance and packaging equipment, existing / relocated equipment or used equipment, CLE’s electrical department is fully capable of providing a controls solution to tailor fit any need or level of automation the customer may require.

​

These intelligent controls provide flexibility and ease of operation / maintainability, while providing reliable and highly efficient solutions to get products to market for the food and beverage, dairy, pulp and paper, consumer products and pharmaceutical industries.
