P.E. Labelers solutions for Fox Ledge Spring Water

Fox Ledge Spring Water Boosts Bottling Throughput by 50% with Simpl-Cut by P.E. Labellers

To overcome frequent downtime, tedious blade maintenance, and lengthy changeovers, Fox Ledge Spring Water upgraded its production lines to the innovative Simpl-Cut roll-fed labeling system from P.E. Labellers. The transition revolutionized operations at their SQF-certified facility—delivering a 50% average increase in throughput, reducing label-to-label changeovers to just 1 minute, and enabling hours of continuous operation between cleanings.

With effortless blade replacements, 30-minute full bottle size adjustments, and strong technical support from P.E. Labellers and ProMach, Fox Ledge has since invested in a second P.E. machine. This partnership highlights how Simpl-Cut’s versatile technology and ProMach’s single-source packaging solutions empower regional bottlers like Fox Ledge Spring Water to scale efficiently and meet growing market demand.

0:11 - Simpl-Cut has simplified everything. 31 years ago, we started to put the project together. Three of us built the business

0:17 - from the ground up and we've grown now to about a 75,000 ft with about 85 employees total. We have three

0:26 - production lines. We're an SQF-certified facility. They had a tiny little labeler that would put on one label at a time. Blade changes very tedious. Changeovers were a

0:37 - little complicated. Once an hour, you'd have to stop, clean the machine up, and then start back up. P.E. sent me a video.

0:46 - I was very intrigued by it. Fell in love with this new design because it solved all of our issues. It just simplified everything. It allowed us to get on average a 50% increase in throughput.

0:58 - Anybody can do a blade change. It just really did make things much better. This machine will run literally hours before

1:06 - you will need to do any type of cleaning. We can do a complete change over to another bottle size in about 30

1:13 - 30 minutes up and running full speed. With the private label business, we switch from one label to another. It's a 1-minute change over. The old machine

1:22 - would be at least an hour to an hour and a half.

1:27 - I’ve developed a relationship with P.E. out of Cincinnati, Ohio. They are very good, quick response, support-wise.

1:35 - Everything's been great with P.E.. That is why we purchased a second P.E. labeler machine. Promach has been a good partner with us. We have a Federal gallon filler.

1:45 - We have several different machines that are part of the ProMach brand. It is nice to be able to have one company that can offer many different solutions to

1:53 - different problems that we have. Whether it's a filling solution, a conveyor solution, whatever it may be, they have those capabilities to help out a small

2:02 - company that doesn't have the resources to have engineers and everything to go through and do everything that needs to be done to set up a production line

2:10 - nowadays. We'll continue to go with Promach moving forward. I have recommended Simpl-Cut to other bottlers

2:17 - across the country. It's been a great machine. Very happy with it. Simpl-Cut simplified everything.
