The CP-PSC also has a dual gantry robot case erecting system for over 20 cases per minute speeds. An ergonomic flat-stack magazine is simple for operators as they place a stack of cases, and the CP-PSC does the rest. The CP-PSC also can run both RSCs and HSCs on the same machine. A Nordson ProBlue Flex completes the case sealing.
