Heat is the silent enemy of packaging lines – smart cooling extends service life and increases production reliability
Packaging machines are the beating heart of many production environments. They often operate non-stop, under high loads and in hot or dusty environments. Overheating of electronic components is therefore one of the biggest risks for downtime and malfunctions. Fortunately, there is good news: with the right cooling, you not only increase the reliability but also the efficiency of your installation.
At Rotero, we advise machine builders and OEMs in the Netherlands and Belgium on smart cooling solutions on a daily basis. Together with innovative partners such as Fandis, we offer reliable, energy-efficient and easy-to-integrate customised solutions.
Why good cooling is essential in the packaging industry
In packaging lines, motors, drives, PLCs and sensors often run at high speed for long periods of time. The heat generated in the process must be efficiently dissipated to prevent damage to components. External factors such as high ambient temperatures or limited ventilation also make a well-designed cooling system essential.
Excessive temperatures can lead to:
- Loss of accuracy and performance
- Premature wear of electronic components
- Unplanned downtime or failure
- Increased maintenance costs
Three practical solutions from Fandis
Fandis has developed several cooling solutions that perfectly address the challenges facing the packaging industry:
1. Ventilation with filters (filter fans)
A classic, energy-efficient solution for cabinets in clean or slightly contaminated environments. Ensures constant air exchange with a high flow rate (volume velocity).
Tip from our product specialist: Use models with automatic temperature control for extra efficiency.
2. Heat exchangers
For applications where indoor and outdoor air must not be mixed. For example, in dust-sensitive processes or in the food industry.
Prevents both contamination and overheating.
3. Active coolers (such as Peltier units or air conditioners)
When external temperatures are higher than internal temperatures or high accuracy is required, active coolers offer the best solution. Compact, quiet and with digital control for consistent performance.
Additional benefits of modern cooling solutions:
✅ Energy efficiency
Smart control ensures lower consumption costs and a longer service life.
✅ Easy installation
Plug & play solutions reduce installation time and make retrofitting simple.
✅ Long service life
Reliable components prevent unexpected failures and minimise maintenance.
