Speedway Packaging Machinery designs and manufactures custom automatic denesters for a wide variety of packaging applications. Our denesters are engineered to automatically separate and dispense nested products such as trays, tubs, cups, lids, and other containers, delivering them individually to downstream packaging equipment.

Every denester is custom-built to suit your application and can be integrated with filling machines, sealing systems, labelers, cappers, conveyors, and other automated packaging equipment. By automating the denesting process, manufacturers can reduce manual handling, improve production efficiency, and maintain a consistent product flow.

For high-volume applications, Speedway can incorporate a bulk container conveyor that continuously supplies stacks of containers to the denester. This allows operators to load large quantities of products at one time and attend to other production tasks, minimizing interruptions and increasing line productivity.

Monoblock Filling, Capping & Labeling System

MONOBLOCK SYSTEM – Filling, Capping & Labeling

Speedway Packaging Machinery delivers fully integrated automation solutions tailored to unique product handling challenges. This custom-built system is engineered to accurately fill, cap, label, and package small containers, be it plastic tubes containing beads or shallow jars containing cosmetics. This versatile machine ensures consistent presentation, product integrity, and efficient downstream packaging.

This turnkey monoblock system combines precision filling, controlled capping, intelligent inspection, and orientation-based labeling into a seamless process. Designed for small, lightweight, and difficult-to-handle components, the system incorporates smart detection and rejection mechanisms to maintain quality standards throughout production.

An integrated downstream packaging solution further enhances efficiency by automatically batching filled tubes and transferring them into a bagging system with synchronized sealing and labeling.

Applications

  • Jewelry components (beads, charms, small parts) 
  • Cosmetics and personal care products 
  • Nail care products (polish, treatments) 
  • Small consumer goods requiring precise filling and presentation 
  • Various Filling options for both granular and liquid products
  • Precision Cap Tightening with Clutch Control
    Maintains uniform torque across every tube for reliable closure integrity. 
  • Smart Cap Detection & Rejection System 
    • Detects missing caps prior to torquing and bypasses the tightening process 
    • Identifies high or misaligned caps and diverts defective units to a reject bin 
  • Cap-Oriented Labeling System
    Advanced detection aligns labels relative to the hooped cap, ensuring all critical product information faces forward for retail display. 
  • Integrated Print & Apply Labeling
    Labels are printed in-line with variable product information before application. 
  • Automated Batch Collection & Bagging Integration 
    • Tubes discharge into a collection chute 
    • Operator-defined batch counts trigger automatic release into a bagger 
    • System communicates directly with the bagger to initiate sealing and bag labeling 

Mini Net Weigher

MINI NET WEIGHER – Dry Products

Achieve precise, consistent filling of dry products with advanced net weighing technology designed for accuracy, sanitation, and efficiency. SPMI’s Net Weighers—built on proven solutions from R-J Machinery Inc.—deliver reliable performance across food, chemical, and general industrial applications.
