Overview
WaveGrip’s innovative multi-packing C80 applicator is helping Tupps Brewery streamline its manufacturing process while also providing a sustainable, environmentally friendly packaging solution to the multi-packing of its beer cans. Based in McKinney, Texas, Tupps Brewery offer a wide range of beers from easy-drinking American Wheat and smooth Pale Ales, to an over-the-top Imperial Stout that sits at 12.1% ABV. Currently, the brewery offers can and keg products and distribute its beers across North Texas, Austin, San Antonio, and the state of Oklahoma.
The Requirement
To increase the distribution of its 4 and 6-pack cans an automatic multi-packing applicator was needed to replace the previously manually intensive system. All the while using a carrier that was sustainable and environmentally friendly.
The Solution
The C80 applicator from WaveGrip was the perfect choice for Tupps Brewery thanks to a top speed of 80 cans-per-minute (cpm), full automation, and its easy-to-use design. The C80 has helped improve their manufacturing process and even being run at the current level of 45 – 50 cpm, is providing huge savings in both the cost of materials and labor.
