Building Materials – Customer case
Automated packing lines for furniture and kitchen components
Customer : Kvik A/S
Qubiqa’s fully automatic packaging line for flat packing fronts, doors, and cabinet sides has a capacity of up to 26 elements per minute, which is the best alternative available on the market. The Qubiqa packing line is developed in close collaboration with plant managers in the furniture industry. The main focus has been on process optimization through increased automation, higher capacity and consistent packaging quality.
As part of the project, cardboard packaging was replaced with film. This simplified the packaging process and supported higher line capacity while maintaining the required packaging quality.
The packing line can use in combination film and foam LDPE up to 1.0mm thickness as packing material for better product protection and to exude quality of the finished packed elements.
Efficient use of resources
For this installation, film was selected as the packaging material based on the customer’s requirements for packaging performance, process efficiency, storage and handling.
“We have gone from cardboard to plastic, saving energy and water compared to the cardboard we used before. When you have control over your plastic, it can be recycled x1,5 better than cardboard and with significantly lower resource consumption resulting in 70x less water use, 5x less CO2 emission, and 8x less energy.”

Variation & future proof
The packing line has a capacity of up to 26 elements per minute and can pack any variation of elements within (L)280-3000 mm (W)100-1200mm (H)12-50 mm.
Elements up to 600mm in width can be packed in two lanes for higher capacity.
Product change to a new variant of a product is quick and easy via a recipe-controlled system. At one of our customers packing line is running with more than 1500 variants of products.
The many possibilities ensure a future-proof packing line that can handle increasing capacity and variation in the range.
User-friendliness & ergonomics
The automated packaging line is designed to reduce manual handling and support better ergonomics in the packaging process.
The system contains both foil rolls and foam foil rolls, easily changed in an ergonomic position without heavy lifting.
