SECONDARY PACKAGING LINE DRY PART

Secondary packaging machines are the main actors of the improvements required by the environment and the supply chain model changes generated by e-commerce.

As regards the environment, it’s extremely important nowadays to have equipment suitable for packing primary products into secondary packages, thus minimizing the use of plastic and decreasing energy use to the minimum.

In terms of supply chain model changes, the demand for secondary packaging is impacted, as there is a need to handle smaller package sizes, minimizing the use of cartons and getting them ready for display on the shelf.

The robotic system is able to optically recognize artwork present on the cartons, consequently orient the cartons in the correct manner, and situate them in the case erector magazine.
The system is designed to remove the strap holding the carton reams and place it in a collecting bin.
Configurations with one or two robots are available, with speed from 2.5 reams per minute up to 4.5 reams per minute. One ream normally in one ream are holds 15-20 cartons.

CARTONS PER MINUTE

The hot melt type carton erector reaches a maximum speed of 60 cartons per minute considering a horizontal stack of cartons in the magazine and horizontal carton opening gluing for the case formation.

Several other speed options are available in case forming, such as 33 cases per minute and 44 cases per minute. Both self-adhesive tape and hot melt technologies are utilised for carton closing.

MINUTE FORMAT CHANGEOVER

Changeover time is crucial because it affects the production time, and for this reason our secondary packaging machines are designed and equipped with fast change changeover procedures.

The adjustment points can be controlled by drives that correctly reposition the guides according to the new format that has to be handled in the machine. The main picking tool is completely adjustable using drives, without any manual intervention. Thanks to this design, we grant change ensure changeover time in 5 minutes performed by one operator.

CASE ERECTOR, CASE PICK & PLACE PACKER AND CASE SEALER

Clevertech secondary packaging equipment consists of a vertical pick & place packer designed to handle glass or plastic bottles, jerrycans, cans or small cases to be packed in a secondary carton.

To complete the end -of -line solutions, in 2016 Clevertech introduced secondary packaging equipment such as carton erectors, carton pick & place packers, divider inserters and carton sealers in our technology portfolio.

The mechanical, electrical and software design are state of the art and aligned with the rest of Clevertech’s solutions in order the provide holistic added value for a complete end -of -line installation.

The carton erector can be supplied with either a horizontal or vertical stack magazine.

The carton sealer as the carton erector can seal the carton using:

Self-adhesive tape
Hot glue

The Pick&Place Packer is composed of a pick & place head, handled horizontally and vertically on the two axes and driven by brushless drives.

The motors are placed at the top of the machine, in a clean position that cannot come into contact with liquids.

The pick& & place head can handle different types of containers-packages in different collections using:

Vacuum gripper
Mechanical gripper
Magnetic gripper
