Floor level magazine allows easy refill without heavy lifting

The ergonomic, floor level magazine eliminates a potential source of liability found in mid and high level magazines. Your operator simply stacks and squares the KDs against the squaring plate, and the stacks feed automatically. KDs can be added at any time.

The standard high capacity magazine holds three stacks of KDs (approx. 300), giving your attendant more time between refills. Magazine extensions are available for added capacity.

Top feed magazine accommodates off-spec corrugated

Cases are lifted from the top of the stack by dual, spring-loaded grippers that are forgiving to inherent case variations. The grippers adjust independently to lift cases from uneven stacks caused by warped or band-marked KDs and provide smooth transfer to the opening station.

The horizontal design of the top feed magazine eliminates issues of back pressure that can cause misfeeding in vertically stacked magazines.

Square cases start with total case control

At the opening station, pneumatic grippers secure cases from below. Meanwhile, the mechanical, reciprocating arm lowers and “over-opens” them on the major flap to ensure successful minor flap closing of the bottom flaps. An automatic blowback system keeps air lines clean.

This system ensures smooth flap closing on cases with out-of-spec manufacturer’s joints. It reliably opens warped and bent cases, unlike pin-style openers which require straight corrugated flutes for proper operation. The powerful opener also positively opens doublewall cases.

Multiple features ensure consistently square cases

The walking beam case transfer is powered by the mechanical, continuous motion machine drive. It provides smooth case transport and keeps the case square as it moves from opening to sealing.

The adhesive sealing compression mandrel is built with opposing stationary lugs that square cases as they are sealed. Soft-glide compression ensures secure glue sealing with less stress. The high speed 400HS model utilizes a servo-operated sealing ram.

Tape-sealed cases are squared by upper and lower transfer belts throughout tape application.

Supplying a continuous flow of cases to your packaging line

All standard 300 erectors include a heavy-duty, adjustable discharge chute. This device uprights cases at the machine exit for proper orientation at the case packer.

Minimize downtime with quick adjustments

Changeover for the complete range of case sizes can easily be done in minutes with no tools.* Adjustment settings utilize rapid adjust hand cranks and slides with locking handles.

* With the exception of the sealing mandrel on the hot melt model for major size changes.
