Paper, Canning & Packaging

From paper machines to can lines. Ready to run at speed.
How Can We Help?

Industrial delivery for paper, canning and packaging manufacturing

For paper, canning and packaging manufacturers, equipment changes are often tied to short shutdown windows, high-speed production and tightly planned restart dates. New lines and plant moves can also involve constrained access, specialist handling and multiple process interfaces. Beck & Pollitzer delivers that work from individual equipment replacements through to complete line installations and factory transfers.

Our experience spans canning, flexible and rigid packaging, converting, pulp and paper production, with projects delivered across North America, Europe and Asia. Work has included live-plant changeovers, round-the-clock relocations, new packaging-line installations and large-scale material-handling systems, for clients including Pebal alongside major confidential packaging manufacturers.

Four areas of coverage

These manufacturing environments range from high-speed canning and converting lines to heavy pulp-and-paper handling systems, each with different installation, access and shutdown requirements.

Canning & metal packaging systems

Canning lines bring together forming, curing, conveying and end-of-line equipment that must be changed over without compromising the planned restart. Beck & Pollitzer supports new installations and shutdown replacements, with canning equipment installation and changeover covering positioning, assembly and connection through to handover.

  • Palletisers and conveyor equipment
  • Pin ovens and curing systems
  • Necker, flanger and IBO units
  • Body makers and supporting platforms

Flexible packaging & converting lines

Flexible-packaging plants combine extrusion, printing, cutting and ancillary process equipment across connected production stages. Our teams support line changes and relocations where dismantling, temporary storage and line-change logistics and movement between suppliers or production sites have to be carefully sequenced.

  • Co-extrusion production lines
  • Printing and converting equipment
  • Cutting and slitting machinery
  • Incinerators and associated steelwork

Paper, pulp & fibre handling

Pulp and paper projects can involve heavy equipment, long conveyor runs and elevated structures in challenging operating environments. Paper-mill installation programmes can bring heavy lifting, fabrication, mechanical utilities and equipment erection together across new or upgraded production areas.

  • Debarking drums and wood-room equipment
  • Chip transport and sorting conveyors
  • Conveyor bridges and elevated structures
  • Mechanical utilities and fabricated steelwork

Plant upgrades & line transfers

Packaging plants frequently change production layouts, replace line sections or move equipment between sites while protecting restart dates and ongoing output. Packaging production relocation supports dismantling, packing, transport, reinstallation and commissioning across wider moves.

  • Shutdown equipment replacement
  • Multi-line production transfers
  • International and multi-site relocation
  • Reinstallation and restart support

Programme delivery & site safety

Paper and packaging work can combine live production, fixed shutdowns, heavy equipment, limited headroom and elevated installation areas. Through shutdown sequencing and restart planning, equipment arrivals, work fronts and contractor interfaces are matched to the operating schedule.

Live-plant and access controls covers isolations, lifting plans, work at height, restricted-access zones and supervision around concurrent activities.

Can Beck & Pollitzer replace canning-line equipment during a fixed shutdown?

Yes. On one 12-week canning project, the team installed two new palletisers, replaced process equipment and removed existing ovens and platforms while the client used the shutdown for in-house training. All work was completed within the planned window with no delay to plant restart.

Can you relocate complete packaging production lines?

Yes. One Czech packaging relocation moved three co-extrusion lines, an incinerator and three printing lines to a new facility 17 km away. The execution phase ran continuously 24/7 and totalled 8,950 project hours, including reassembly, commissioning support and production set-up.

Can you manage packaging-equipment moves across multiple sites?

Yes. In India, one factory relocation moved complex packaging machinery approximately 2,400 km to two destination plants using 60 containers. The scope covered dismantling, packing, transport, unloading and installation. Multi-site equipment logistics can support the staging and movement requirements around complex transfers.

Can you install paper and pulp handling systems at height?

Yes. In one pulp-and-paper installation, a conveyor bridge was assembled and connected to a chip-sorting building at 50 m roof height. The work required coordinated lifting, restricted-access planning and installation through severe winter conditions.

Can you install machinery where access is severely restricted?

Yes. During one spray-packaging installation, only 40 cm of free space remained beneath the roof structure. The team unloaded, manoeuvred, positioned and levelled the equipment without damaging the sensitive storage basket, completing 1,580 project hours on schedule. Constrained-access lifting and positioning supports this type of restricted machinery handling.
