Model 330 Color Touchscreen gives you total control

Color Touchscreen gives you total control

The color display shows real-time operating data and allows independent operation of all functions, diagnostics, and changeover settings. Its simple, step-by-step sequences simplify set up and operation. Non-contact sensors monitor machine operation and ensure precise timing of each operating sequence.

Model 330 Large capacity, easy-load case magazine

Large capacity, easy-load case magazine

The self-indexing auxiliary case magazine assures a continuous case supply to the erector. As each stack is used, another moves into position maximizing time between refills. The ergonomic low level design makes it easy to refill without lifting cases.

Model 330 Case feed designed for smooth operationCase feed designed for smooth operation

This case erector has self-adjusting, spring loaded grippers that ensure proper case feed from uneven stacks of warped or band-marked cases. Their unique "floating" design allows them to operate independently to grip each case firmly and provide a consistent and reliable case feed.

Model 330 Reliable case erecting mechanism

Reliable case erecting mechanism

Production-proven since 1990, A-B-C's cam-operated vacuum pullback case opener design is superior in running less-than-perfect corrugated. This method utilizes dual vacuum grippers- lower grippers provide solid compression to hold the case firmly while the upper grippers pull the case open.

Model 330 Positive flap folding and case transfer

Positive flap folding and case transfer

The major case flaps are gripped firmly as the heavy-duty rear flap tucker folds the inner flap, ensuring efficient flap folding and sealing. The continuous motion main drive powers the walking beam case transfer that squares cases as they travel. The main drive has a sealed bearing linkage that ensures high speed performance for the long haul. 

Model 330 Shock absorbing case compression ram

Shock absorbing case compression ram

The case compression mandrel is equipped with shock absorbers to eliminate machine stress, to reduce maintenance and ensure long machine life.

 

Quick changeover

Adjustment for the entire range of case sizes may be completed without change parts, by using rapid adjust cranks and slides with locking handles.
