In environments with multiple product lines and sales channels, a multi-format solution allows for automatic switching between cans, boxes, or pails without prolonged manual intervention. This reduces downtime and improves operational flexibility in plants with high product variability.

This is especially relevant when there are:

- Frequent format changes
- Production for retail and industrial use
- Different capacities (1L, 5L, 15L, etc.)
- A need to alternate between individual and grouped packaging
- Different logistical requirements

A multi-format line can be configured to handle both individual cans and cardboard boxes, performing automatic format changes without manual mechanical adjustments. This allows for alternating production for different channels or SKUs within the same facility, maintaining efficiency and operational continuity.

The system can handle:

- Individual metal cans
- Shrink-wrapped bundles
- Cardboard boxes
- Trays with film
- Different heights and diameters
- Variable palletizing patterns

Packing and palletizing systems can be designed to operate in environments with a risk of explosive atmospheres (ATEX) or with high levels of dust, provided that electrical components, protective devices, and safety configurations are adapted in accordance with applicable regulations.

The solution must guarantee operational continuity and industrial safety under demanding conditions. Adaptation may include:

- ATEX-certified components
- Protected motors and electrical panels
- Ventilation or overpressure systems
- Dust accumulation protection
- Sensors and wiring specific to the classified area
- Structural design compliant with safety regulations

Oval paint cans can be automatically palletized provided the system accommodates their specific geometry. Due to their non-cylindrical shape, they require adapted pallet patterns and precise positioning control to ensure load stability and correct alignment in each layer.

The solution can be configured to work with:

- Different oval can dimensions
- Controlled orientation in pre-gripping grouping
- Individual or grouped handling
