Research and Development

R&R are always ready to innovate – whether it is a fresh look at an existing application, or a completely new concept, R&R’s Design Team will apply all of their knowledge and experience to come up with a working solution.

R+R have worked in partnership with several companies to improve, simplify, or create from scratch, design solutions to fulfil a Client’s requirements. On the basis of successful R&D, R+R have constructed a number of innovative Machines and processes for a selection of Clients, across several industries and business sectors.

This posed a number of challenges – due to extremely high product pressures, low temperatures, and forces required to swage crimp the canisters. R+R developed a prototype filling and crimping […]

The plastic shot glasses were filled and sealed the right way up, but due to their unique shape needed to be packaged upside-down. This meant they had to be collected from one conveyor, inverted, and presented […]

The design by R+R was […]
