Features and Benefits

  • Intelligent machine control simplifies setup and diagnostics

    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

    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

    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

    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. An automatic blowback system keeps air lines clean.

  • Case opening on outer flap ensures smooth inner flap closing

    Case opening on outer flap ensures smooth inner flap closing This case erectors 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

    Adhesive sealing ram squares cases This case erector's 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.

  • Positive case discharge to takeaway conveyor for a continuous case flow

    Positive case discharge to takeaway conveyor for a continuous case flow All standard 400 case erector models include a stationary discharge chute that uprights and feeds cases from the machine exit to the conveyor for a constant case feed to your line.
