Pack Air Inc.
Pack Air not only manufactures mechanical equipment but also designs and builds industrial control systems to enhance their functionality. Some customers prefer to handle much of this work themselves, requesting only basic components such as a motor disconnect and a photo eye mounted to each conveyor, while others might ask for a VFD panel with a single drive and a disconnect for individual conveyors. In other instances, Pack Air manages most of the controls, supplying VFD panels, PLCs, HMIs, push button stations, power distribution, sensors, and motor disconnects, pre-wiring these components to minimize downtime and reduce field wiring costs. Additionally, Pack Air offers PLC and HMI programming, specializing in motion control with expertise in various technologies, primarily using Rockwell Automation products, and integrating equipment from numerous other manufacturers.
