Total Efficiency: The New Generation of Automated Booster Production Lines

We present a fully integrated solution for automated Booster manufacturing — a system that goes far beyond simple dosing. Our production line covers all essential stages with high precision and performance: from the bottle and nest loading cell, through individual dosing, weighing, and level verification stations, to transition elevators that ensure a continuous and safe material flow.


The process includes controlled entry into the cooling system, with strategically placed chillers to guarantee strict quality and safety standards, followed by the exit to an automated box-forming station. The line continues with a boxing cell, final weighing station for quality control, and a box sealing cell — delivering a flawless, market-ready product.

Our complete solution includes:

End-to-end Automation
Strict Quality Control
Safe and Reliable Process
Precision and Repeatability
Fully Integrated Cell
Flexible Design
Significant Wast Reduction
Real-time Monitoring

This is the next evolution in Booster manufacturing

Maximum efficiency, total safety, and complete control at every stage of the process.

"It’s an unprecedented leap.


We are entering a new era where cognitive robots, general AI, and autonomous systems will reinvent industry from the ground up.



Factories that never sleep. Machines that learn on their own. Jobs that vanish — and others that haven’t even been invented yet.


And what drives this transformation?

Flexible innovation – iQanto Solutions



The logic of the 6th Industrial Revolution lies not only in radical automation, but in the intelligent and continuous adaptability of technologies to context, demand, and humanity.

This is the era of flexible technology — technology that adapts, evolves, and responds — in real time — to the needs of a dynamic and unpredictable industry.


While many are still trying to understand what’s coming, we at iQanto Brazil, together with the Business Units of Snef, are already there — in the future — leading, innovating, and safeguarding the future of Brazilian industry.



All of this may sound intimidating. But don’t fear the future.

Be part of it.



The revolution will be automated — and we are shaping the future.

We are part of it."
