You're trying to get different bottles, different closures, different fills into cases on the truck this week. Just about everything is running through a semi-manual setup that turns every changeover into a half-day project, and comes screeching to a halt when someone needs a bathroom break.
Sure, hand bottling can get you into a zen-like state. If your goal is to achieve enlightenment, great. If it's to turn a profit, you need a different setup. Let's make things easier.
15 Minute Changeovers
Bottles to cans on the same line. Still spirits in the morning, carbonated RTDs in the afternoon. Two people monitoring the line, not six people pulling in different directions.
Sraml builds flexibility into their lines. Tell us what packaging formats you need to run, and we'll spec the line to handle it. Once it's built, switching between those formats takes about 15 minutes, not hours.
A 15-minute changeover is possible without a pit crew. See for yourself.

If you're hoping to have the hottest beverage of summer 2027, or you just want one line that handles every SKU you've got, let's start talking now. This time next year you could be shipping cans to your distributors.
