Industrial packaging machinery delivered and commissioned at plants across Pretoria and the Tshwane metro.
We supply shrink wrapping and shrink sleeve equipment, flow wrappers, vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal lines, can filling and seaming, capsule and sachet filling, cup fill-seal, tube filling, labelling and cartoning. The range runs from standalone machines to fully automated lines. The types Tshwane producers ask for most are set up and powered at our Riversands workshop, just down the N1, so you can watch one run before you choose. The machine that suits you depends on your product, your packaging film and your required output.
These are the machines Tshwane producers specify most often. The order reflects what the metro actually manufactures: powders and grain out of Pretoria West and the north, component and kit packing around Rosslyn and Silverton, and bakery and snack lines across the metro.
Bring your product in and we will test it before you buy. Bring the packaging film you intend to use and the carton you pack into, and we will run a sample batch on the machine we have recommended. Riversands is off the N1 between Midrand and Fourways, so from most of Tshwane this is a morning out of your week. No deposit is required for the trial.
Three installs written up in full, with the product, the format and the throughput each line was specified around. The small-parts flow wrap job is the closest read for component and kit packers around Rosslyn and Silverton.

A packaging machine quotation for Pretoria and Tshwane is built around your product, pack format, output and level of automation, so we price it once we know what you are packing and at what rate. Quotes to Pretoria and Tshwane sites include delivery from Riversands, installation and operator training by our own technicians. How each of those factors shapes the figure is explained in our guide to packaging machine costs in South Africa.
Our workshop is at Riversands, off the N1 between Midrand and Fourways. That is a short drive down the N1 from Centurion and the rest of Tshwane. Machines are kept set up and powered, so bring your product, your film and your carton and we will run it before you commit. Installation happens at your plant, by our own technicians, and fast-moving spares sit on the shelf here rather than in a container.
Riversands, Johannesburg
Our single workshop, showroom and spares base. Address and trading hours on the contact page.
Machines are dispatched from Riversands and driven up the N1, which puts the whole Tshwane metro within driving distance of our installation team. Centurion, the eastern suburbs, Rosslyn and the industrial north are all a drive rather than a freight booking.
A machine held in stock at Riversands reaches Pretoria in 7 to 10 working days, covering delivery, installation and configuration at your plant. The drive up the N1 is not the constraint; technician scheduling is. A machine that is not in stock takes 10 to 12 weeks from receipt of deposit, which covers the factory build, the Factory Acceptance Test and freight. We do not quote a lead time we have not confirmed with the factory first.
We also supply, install and service packaging machines for producers in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Bloemfontein. See every area we cover on our service areas page.
Ratings and reviews are published on our Google Business Profile, where they can be read in full and in context.
Highly recommended! Excellent customer service, great prices, and they always go above and beyond.
Anything not covered here, phone the workshop. You will get someone who has installed the machine, not a call centre.
At our Riversands workshop, off the N1 between Midrand and Fourways. It is a short drive down the N1 from Centurion and the rest of Tshwane, and the machines are kept set up and powered so you can watch one run. Bring your own product, the film you intend to use and the carton you pack into, and we will run a sample batch on the machine you are considering. That is the only reliable way to know how your product behaves through a forming tube, a filler or a sealing jaw.
Machines in stock at Riversands: 7–10 working days to Pretoria, covering delivery, installation and configuration at your plant. The drive up the N1 is not the constraint, technician scheduling is. Machines not in stock: 10–12 weeks from receipt of deposit, covering the factory build, the Factory Acceptance Test, freight, then delivery and commissioning at your plant. Custom configurations are quoted per project, and we do not quote a lead time we have not confirmed with the factory first.
Our own technicians, not a subcontractor. They position the machine on your floor, connect it to your power and compressed air, dial in the settings for your product and film, and stay until the line is producing sealed packs at the rate quoted. Operator training happens on the same visit, with your staff, on your product. Because Pretoria is a drive rather than a flight, a follow-up visit in the first weeks of production is a scheduled drive rather than a flight.
On the shelf at Riversands: sealing elements, heating bands, drive belts, blades, seals and sensors. For a Pretoria plant that is a collection or a local courier, rather than an eight-to-twelve-week import. Less common assemblies we bring in to order, and we will tell you honestly which category your part falls into when you phone. Fast-moving parts held in the country is the difference between a line down for two days and a line down for two months.
Yes. Tshwane sits inside our normal service radius, so a call to a plant in Rosslyn, Silverton, Waltloo or Pretoria West is a scheduled drive. We service the machines we supplied, and we will look at equipment bought elsewhere where we can source the parts. Worth asking before you replace a machine that may only need a seal kit, a new element and a proper service.
The whole country and into Southern Africa, from one workshop in Johannesburg. What this page sets out is what Pretoria and Tshwane get specifically: a showroom a short drive down the N1, delivery driven up the N1 rather than freighted, installation by our own team, and spares held in Gauteng. We would rather be straight about where we are based than pretend to a branch we do not have.
We do not provide in-house financing, so machines are paid for directly. Many customers finance through their own bank, and we supply the quotes, specifications and documentation banks require. We are a registered vendor with Wesbank, and have supplied machines financed through Nedbank and Absa.
For entry- to mid-level machines, 50% deposit and 50% before delivery. For complex, customised or full-line projects, terms are structured around the Factory Acceptance Test and set out in your quote. We are open to adjusting terms to suit your cash flow, so tell us what works for your business.
Tell us what you are packing. Product, pack format, target output and film if you know it. We will come back with the machine that fits and what it costs to run, not a catalogue.
