Quick size changeovers.


Performance


	
For requirements in terms of speed and smooth handling, the loading operation can be carried out by a “pick & pack” gripper: pneumatic, mechanic, robotic, 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, or Scara
	
Speeds of up to 13.5 cases/min depending on the type of product and collation
	
Products fed in by single layer simple transfer or by a mechanical or servo-driven elevating or lowering stacker.
	
Simplified format changeovers.
	
Product and case size ranges available on request.
	
Size changeover times optimized thanks to centralized setting points via IVO digital counters


Options


	
Product and batch control by vision system.
	
Integration of the labeling operation and /or ink jet coder
	
Bar code verification
	
Remote diagnostics
	
For requirements in terms of speed and smooth handling, the loading operation can be carried out by a "Pick & Pack" gripper: 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, or Scara.


Product packing


	
Stocking of blanks in a flat magazine with chains advancing mechanically and guide to maintain stability.
	
Positive case extraction and forming (patented system) by two rotating arms fitted with suction cups.
	
Flap deflection and guiding of the batch of products into the case by rotating bridge and loading funnel.
	
Motorized transfer of the batch into the case.
	
Folding and holding of the inner flaps.
	
Pre-folding of the long flaps whilst case is stationary, followed by progressive folding during transfer.
	
Hot-melt version Nordson ProBlue Series
	
Motorized transfer of the cases (held square) by mechanical shuttle with speed control for even application of glue strips.
	
Pressure applied evenly to case sides to ensure gluing and squaring of the case prior to outfeed.


Adhesive tape version


	
Motorized transfer of the cases (held square) by mechanical shuttle.
	
Positive transfer of the case by motorized belts for sealing by applying adhesive tape.
