Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Technical & Shipping Inquiries1. How does Ludyway ship and install packaging machinery in South Africa?
We ship our machinery via secure sea freight to major ports such as Durban, Cape Town, and Port Elizabeth. All equipment is packed in heavy-duty, seaworthy wooden crates to prevent damage or corrosion. We provide comprehensive installation manuals, video guides, and support commissioning through live video links or by sending engineers directly to your facility.
2. Can the machines handle power drops and load shedding issues?
Yes. Our control systems are designed with high-quality PLCs that feature auto-save state capabilities. In the event of a sudden power outage, the machine will hold its state and stop safely without damaging components or wasting packaging film. Additionally, we integrate surge protection to shield the electronics when power returns.
3. What spare parts and maintenance support do you offer?
Every machine comes with a standard wear-and-tear spare parts kit. We maintain a large inventory of critical replacement parts at our main facility, which can be shipped via express air freight (such as DHL or FedEx) to South Africa within 3 to 5 business days.
4. Can I customize the packaging size and bag type?
Absolutely. We offer customized forming shoulders, sealing jaws, and dosing heads to accommodate different sachet widths, stick pack configurations, and filling volumes. Our engineering team will review your film dimensions and product specifications to design the ideal custom solution.

Yes, all contact parts on our food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical packaging systems are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel (SS304 or SS316). Our manufacturing processes are ISO 9001 certified, and our machines carry CE certifications, satisfying local HACCP requirements.
