Accutek Packaging Equipment Companies, Inc.

ONE STOP SHOP PACKAGING EQUIPMENT
Accutek manufactures a wide variety of filling equipment to fill most product types into a wide assortment of container types. Our filling machines utilize the latest technologies to achieve the highest speeds and most accurately filled bottles on the market. Accutek filling machines can accommodate regular free flowing liquid products, products that are very viscous or thick, products that tend to foam, products that string or drip, products that have particulates or chunks, and dry products. We manufacture six different styles of filling systems: Auger Fillers, Overflow Fillers, Piston Fillers, Positive Displacement Fillers, Timed Flow Volumetric Fillers, and Vacuum Fillers. Our filling machinery is available from a single head bench top filler for low speed filling all the way up to a high speed 60 head rotary filling system.

Accutek engineers are always working to modernize and simplify our designs giving our customers a competitive edge with the most efficient, technologically advanced packaging equipment. Our diverse line of equipment has been engineered for products in the food, pharmaceutical, oil, cosmetic, chemical, and other specialty industries. All our equipment is constructed from the highest quality materials and made with the highest quality workmanship. We work with programmable logic controllers, VFD drives, vision electronics, and pneumatics to achieve the fastest filling, capping, labeling, and conveying speeds at the most accurate pace possible.

We understand each customer may have unique packaging requirements; we can customize machinery to accommodate your product and even work with your existing packaging line. Once our engineers evaluate your products, our experienced staff will discuss the wide range of packaging equipment options available. We will then consult with you to determine which automation system best suits your needs.

Qualified, skilled technicians are available for trouble shooting and problem-solving to ensure your packaging line is up and running smoothly. All our equipment includes a one-year warranty on non-wear parts and labor. Extended warranties are also available. Standard equipment can often be shipped within two weeks of the purchase date. Most replacement parts are stocked and can be shipped within 24 hours of placing your order.

We take cleaning seriously. Our machines are designed to be easy-to-use, clean, and well maintained. Most of our equipment is crafted from food grade stainless steel and other food grade materials. All our conveyors are constructed of food grade stainless steel and have elevated conveyor beds for easy wash down. Convenient “clean-in-place” processes and procedures are available for most of our equipment.

Accutek Packaging Equipment Company, Inc. was founded in 1989, by serial entrepreneur Edward Chocholek and his sons. The business opened under the name Accutek Filling Equipment Company. Mr. Chocholek noticed that the price of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s) and Pneumatics for automation had dropped to the point where they would soon replace single point mechanized machinery. No industry had more single-point, cam-driven machinery being sold in the 1980’s than the packaging industry. The packaging industry had been dominated by mechanical engineering that was clearly going to be rapidly transformed by the onslaught of electrical engineering, automation, and programming. After much research, he convinced his sons to join him, and Accutek was born in Los Angeles, California. As it turned out, it was an ideal time to enter the industry because the barrier to entry had dropped significantly while established packaging machinery and engineering companies struggled to replace and rethink their legacy systems. At that point, Accutek Filling Equipment Company’s primary focus was bench top liquid filling, capping, and labeling machines. Our first filling machine was called the Mini-Six. The MiniSix was a six-head time pressure filler primarily used for filling cosmetic products such as perfume, aroma therapy liquids, essential oils, and other thin and light oils. It was later replaced by the Mini-Pinch filler which is still one of our most popular fillers today. By 1993, we were manufacturing complete in-line bottling systems running at speeds of up to 80 bottles per minute and had outgrown our facility. The Greater Los Angeles area had many industrial buildings available, but all were in questionable neighborhoods with high rents. We decided after the riots in Los Angeles that maybe a further move was in order. After only one visit to San Diego, we decided that Oceanside California at the north end had everything we needed including proximity to our vendors. We began a search for our ideal facility and had found one within a month! We opened our new, 10,000 square foot facility before the year ended and began hiring new and additional employees. Along with the move, we changed the name of the company to “Accutek Packaging Equipment” to better reflect our growing product line. The move allowed us to grow very quickly, reaching sales of five million by 1995. This achievement led to the design of our first custom facility made to manufacture packaging machinery. We built a modern manufacturing facility in Vista, California that was completed in 1997 that allowed for dedicated part control, lab, showroom, CNC machine center, welding, sheet metal fabrication, along with customer acceptance testing and shipping areas. This facility gave us space to develop more equipment and the efficiency to become even more competitive. By 2000, we once again doubled our sales and decided the fastest way to expand our product line was to purchase some of our competitors’ businesses. We looked for companies that would add to our product line, engineering staff, and sales channels.
