We specialize in vertical Case and Tray Packers (Drop Packers, Soft Packers, Pick & Place Packers), Uncasers, Lane Dividers,Tray Stackers, and Four Flap Openers. While Climax's history can be tracked back to the early 1900's (with bottle washing equipment), more recently it was a Division of the Lodge & Shipley Company located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Industries purchased Climax from a failing Lodge &
Shipley Company, and established itself as a stand-alone company. We like to think of ourselves as a growing, young company with a long tradition of experience in the packaging machinery industry. Our equipment line currently consists of the following:
• vertical drop packer
• vertical SOFT packer (with a SOF-PAC ® tower)
• Pick & Place SOFT Packer
• NEW – Strate-Line PACKER and Strate-Line UNCASER
• rotary, continuous-motion SOF-PAC ® packer
• Multipacker
• uncaser -- reciprocal motion as well as rotary, continuous motion
• lane divider and lane combiner
• tray stacker
• four flap opener
While we do, indeed, have "standard machines," we also pride ourselves in our ability to engineer changes and modifications that allow for solutions to our clients' unique packaging applications. Sometimes it can be as simple as setting a conveyor height to match the height of our client's existing line; at other times it may be the addition of optional parts or components to meet a specific need. We listen to our prospects as they describe their packaging applications, and we recommend what we think would be the best solution. Send us email or call us at (513) 874-1233, so we can help fill your packaging needs. We can pack or unpack any type of "rigid" container:
• glass, plastic, metal, or composite
• bottles, jars, cans, jugs, boxes, cartons, etc.
• round or non-round
• empty or filled

Climax equipment can work with either trays or cases, with and without partitions or inserts.
