In a context of globalization, the packaging industry has a very important role to play, and many challenges to face.

On one side, with the Covid-19 pandemic, Health and hygiene are now an everyday preoccupation : How to ensure food safety and hygiene ? How to preserve and increase food longetivity? How to ensure that your medical device is sterile ?

On the other side, packaging companies are coming up with innovative technologies that are friendly to the environment, reusable, and biodegradable. Packaging industry has made huge progress towards a sustainable and circular supply chain. How to recycle packagings ? How to package with sustainable materials? ….

Packaging industry  will continue to be called upon to face challenges and celduc® relais is here to offer adapted solutions.


The celduc’s expertise

celduc® relais is a well-established partner to the pakaging industry, we offer a wide range of Solid State Relays and Magnetic Proximity Sensors to meet the requirements of this strictly regulated market. Major actors of the industry trust us, so what about you ?

Here are some examples of customers’ use cases :

Filling machines

machine remplissageOur Solid state relays are used for the conveyor and the power vibrator motor control. SSRs control also the electro-valves used in liquid filling process and the heating resistance of hot air unit for an aseptic filling process.

Closing / sealing machines

Machine scellageCelduc’s SSR are used for the accurate heating resistance control and the temperature control when upper and lower films are sealed together. Our products control also Electro-magnets : electromagnets are used for the locking of sealing machines (it allows to keep the arm locked during the sealing and cooling process)

Thermoforming machines
