Operation is simple and repeatable for quick operator proficiency. At the touchscreen, you control all functions, diagnostics, and changeover settings following clear, step-by-step sequences. Real-time operating data is available at a glance.

Non-contact sensors monitor machine functions and ensure precise timing of each operating sequence. Troubleshooting at the control console is straightforward, with simplified drill-down to sensor level for immediate fault detection and quick resolution.

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 knockdown (KD) cases (approx. 300 KDs), giving your attendant more time between refills. Stacks feed automatically and KDs can be added at any time.

Magazine extensions are available for added KD capacity.

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

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

At the opening station, pneumatic grippers secure cases from below. Meanwhile, the mechanical, reciprocating arm lowers and “over-opens” cases on the major flap to ensure successful minor flap closing. This system runs cases with out-of-spec manufacturer’s joints. This system also positively opens doublewall cases.

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. An automatic blowback system keeps air lines clean.

The walking beam case transfer is powered by the mechanical, continuous motion machine drive. It guides the cases smoothly and precisely, squaring them as they move 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 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.

The erector automatically senses and adjusts to changes in your line speed to prevent backups if there are slowdowns upstream on the line. The erector immediately returning to line speed once cleared.

All standard 400 case erectors include a heavy-duty, adjustable discharge chute. This device uprights cases as they exit the machine to the line conveyor, delivering a constant supply of square, well-sealed cases, oriented for efficient transfer to the packing station.

Changeover for the complete case range can easily be done in minutes. Most adjustment settings utilize rapid adjust hand cranks and slides with locking handles.
