Story
Lifeline Foods has thrived for nearly 25 years by putting people, community, and innovation at the core of everything they do. But facing an evolving market and increased production, the team realized that running three outdated, varied packaging lines was no longer sustainable. Quality, safety, and ergonomics were slipping, and ugly, unstable pallets were making it harder to attract and keep customers.
Premier Tech delivered a full automation upgrade: the OML-1170-N (formerly PTK-1700) open mouth bagger, RPL-4111-N (formerly AR-225) robotic palletizer, and a LSH-1100 stretch hooder pallet wrapper. The results were immediate and remarkable. Packaging speed doubled from 7 to 14 bags per minute, safety and operator ergonomics improved dramatically, and every pallet shipped is now perfectly square and stackable, maximizing valuable floor space.
Premier Tech’s extensive training empowered Lifeline’s team, raising skill levels and morale. The partnership brought open communication and fast ROI, while food safety and dust control standards rose to new heights. Team members now say they’d never want to go back; their work is easier, safer, and more rewarding. With these automation gains, LifeLine Foods is truly ready to celebrate the next 25 years, confident in their ability to deliver quality and value, every single day.
