Machinery Education: When to use top load case packers
Top Load Case Packers can be beneficial when running product that is difficult to collate and pack in a horizontal orientation. Examples include paint cans, bottles, pouches, jars, and bags. Collating these types of products in a horizontal orientation involves more mechanisms to collate and pack, which makes the machine more complex and expensive. Top Load Case Packers typically have larger machine frames than end-load case packers. Top-load case erecting is typically more complex than end-load case packers, as the case needs to be oriented vertically.
Machinery Education: Benefits of servo-driven changeover
End users often have issues center-lining changeovers as operators sometimes have to “tweak” changeover points when unnecessary. Furthermore, mechanical changeovers often require a skilled technician/s to complete, which reduces production time and efficiency. Sometimes, servo-driven changeover makes sense when production lines have multiple SKUs and change over often. Servo-driven changeover is a great feature that allows end users to change over from one SKU to another rapidly. By using a servo motor, the adjustment of the changeover point is completed accurately and within seconds.
Product Feature: HD-LSP - Linear Servopack Cartoner to handle 2-pack, 8-pack, and 12-pack cartons
The HD-LSP: Heavy-Duty Linear Servopack Cartoner is the ideal machine for flexibility and efficiency. The system can run two-pack cartons at high speeds (240 ppm) and multi-pack cartons up to a 12 count. The linear servo pack provides high-speed collating for multiple product types, such as flow-wrapped and trayed products. The cartoner's unique loading system allows seamless collation of two-pack to 12-pack sizes. The cartoner employs side and top confinement to mitigate catch points during loading. Standard on the system is a Nordson ProBlue Flex adhesive system and Allen Bradley electronics package.
