Automated Case Erectors & Sealers: High-Speed Carton Packaging Systems
Positioned after primary packaging and labeling – but before palletizing – case erectors and sealers handle the critical final packaging stage:
Case Erectors: Automatically form flat corrugated blanks into boxes and seal the bottom flaps (using hot-melt glue or pressure-sensitive tape)
Case Sealers: Secure top flaps after manual product loading
These semi-automatic systems bridge the gap between manual packing and full automation, delivering 45% higher throughput than manual operations while maintaining flexibility.
Robotic systems forming RSC/HSC trays from flat blanks. Handles B/C/E/F-flute corrugation. Adjustable for 200-600mm box sizes. 20-60 cases/min throughput.
Top/bottom seal applicators: Hot-melt glue or pressure-sensitive tape. Optional print-and-apply label integration. Seals 10-50 boxes/min.
All-in-one systems: Blank feeding → forming → loading → sealing. Servo-electric drives for 35% energy savings vs. pneumatic.
