What Is Ancillary Packaging Machinery?

Ancillary packaging machinery refers to supportive equipment that works in tandem with core machines like fillers, sealers, cappers, and labelers to improve overall productivity, handling, orientation, and flow of packaging materials.

Technogen Enterprise specializes in designing robust and reliable ancillary systems that integrate seamlessly into existing or new lines for liquid filling, powder packaging, tablet bottling, and cap handling processes.

Why Ancillary Equipment Is Critical in South African Packaging Lines

South Africa's booming FMCG, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agrochemical, and food & beverage sectors require consistent and reliable packaging systems. Ancillary machines help reduce manual intervention, increase uptime, and improve throughput—critical for industries located in:

• Johannesburg, Germiston, and Midrand (pharma, cosmetics, bottling plants)

• Cape Town and Paarl (wine bottling, fruit preserves, essential oils)

• Durban and Pietermaritzburg (distribution, export packaging lines)

• Port Elizabeth and East London (industrial goods and lubricants)

• Polokwane, Bloemfontein (agricultural and chemical packaging)
