Case Packing Systems and Solutions
Automated Case Packing
Automated case packing applications involve the use of machinery and technology to efficiently pack products into cases or containers without manual intervention. Some common automated case packing applications include:
Pick and Place Systems: These systems use robotic arms or mechanical pickers to grab products from a conveyor belt or other source and place them into designated positions within a case.
Case Erectors: These machines automatically form cardboard or plastic cases from flat sheets, ready to be filled with products.
Case Sealers and Closers: After products are packed into cases, automated machinery can seal and close the cases using adhesive tape, glue, or other methods.
Integration with Conveyor Systems: Automated case packing systems often integrate seamlessly with conveyor belts or other material handling equipment to streamline the packing process.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Modern automated case packing applications are designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing for quick changeovers between different products or packaging configurations.
