Adhesive sealing case erector

Adhesive sealing case erector

Here’s a reliable solution for case erecting speeds to 30 cases per minute. Inside its heavy grade steel frame is a continuous motion drive that provides maximum reliability for 3-shift a day production. The exclusive walking beam case transfer squares cases as they travel from opening through sealing. With rock solid construction and multiple features to accommodate poor corrugated, this machine is a workhorse solution for the packaging line.

Features and Benefits

Intelligent machine control simplifies setup and diagnostics

Case selection is easy and intuitive at the touchscreen control center. Simply choose the case size and speed and you’re done. The color display shows real-time operating data and allows independent operation of all functions, diagnostics, and changeover settings.

Simple, step-by-step sequences simplify set up and operation. Non-contact sensors monitor machine operation and ensure precise timing of each operating sequence.

KD magazine eliminates lifting and allows more time between refills

No more lifting heavy cases! This ergonomic, floor level magazine eliminates a potential source of liability found in mid and high level case magazines.

The standard high capacity magazine holds three stacks of cases, giving your attendant more time between refills.

KD stacks feed automatically and cases can be added at any time. An extended magazine is also available.

Top feed magazine runs warped and band-marked cases

This case erectors top feed magazine design eliminates back pressure that can cause misfeeding in vertical feed magazines.

Cases are lifted by dual, springloaded grippers that self-adjust to lift cases from uneven stacks caused by warp or band marks.

Complete control for case opening

At the opening station, cases are gripped from below as the reciprocating arm pulls them open. This dual pullback system is forgiving to cases with poor manufacturer’s joints and positively opens doublewall styles.

The automatic blowback system keeps air lines clean.

Case opening on outer flap ensures smooth inner flap closing

A-B-C’s vacuum case opening technology smoothly opens even warped and bent cases, unlike pin-style openers which require straight corrugated flutes for proper operation.

Over-opening the case on the flaps ensures successful inner flap closing, even when running cases with out-of-spec manufacturer’s joints.

Adhesive sealing ram squares cases

This case erectors adhesive sealing compression mandrel has a unique design with stationary lugs that square the case during sealing.

Soft-glide compression ensures secure sealing with less stress.

5 minute changeover

Changeover for the full case range is completed with rapid adjust hand cranks and slides with locking handles.
