Food & Beverage Processing Automation for Sri Lanka
Cerox Engineering builds the packaging-line automation Sri Lankan food and beverage manufacturers actually need — filling, capping, sealing, labelling, checkweighing, carton erecting, pallet wrapping. For tea, spice, dairy, beverage, bakery, and herbal products. Local team. Same-day support.
The food-line bottlenecks worth fixing first
Sri Lanka has a deep food and beverage manufacturing base — tea exporters, spice packers, dairy producers, bottled beverage, bakeries, and a fast-growing wave of herbal and Ayurvedic product makers. Most are running mid-size lines that have grown faster than their automation. The result: bottlenecks at labelling, sealing, and end-of-line packing.
Cerox automation modules drop into your existing line. Each one solves one bottleneck and pays back independently. Start with the worst one. Add the next when you're ready.
Six core stations for SL food and beverage

Common questions
What food processing automation is available in Sri Lanka?+
Cerox Engineering builds the core stations Sri Lankan food and beverage manufacturers need — filling and counting, capping, pouch and bag sealing, auto labelling, checkweighing, vision inspection, carton erecting, and pallet stretch-wrapping. All designed and supported locally.
Can small Sri Lankan food businesses afford automation?+
Yes. Entry-level food processing stations (small impulse sealers, manual cap tighteners, sticker labellers) start in the LKR 400K–800K range. Production-grade rigs (rotary cappers, full bottling lines) scale up from there. Cerox sizes deployments to the business — we work with everyone from small spice repackers to mid-tier food exporters.
Does automation comply with food safety standards?+
Yes. Cerox food processing automation is built with food-grade components (stainless steel, FDA-approved materials, washable surfaces) and meets HACCP, ISO 22000, and BRC requirements where applicable. We work with your QA team to ensure audit compliance.
How long does food processing automation deployment take?+
A single station (filler, sealer, labeller) typically deploys in 8–12 weeks contract-to-live. Full line automation (multi-station integrated) takes 4–6 months. We always recommend a pilot phase to prove the integration with your specific product before scaling.
Which Sri Lankan food categories does Cerox automate?+
Tea (filling, sachets, pouches, retail cartons), spice (powder filling, packet sealing, jar capping), dairy (yogurt cup filling, milk packet sealing, bottle labelling), beverage (bottling lines, capping, labelling), confectionery and bakery (cartoning, sealing), and herbal/Ayurvedic products (capping, labelling).
