CubeMaster 300i
-
top and side loading of flexible bags with an automatic case packing system
with integrated case erector
The CUBEMASTER 300i is similar to the CUBEMASTER 300i case packing system that operates both vertically and horizontally. The major differentiator of the CUBEMASTER 300i is the integrated BPA robotic case erector. This optimizes floor space utilization, and often eliminates the need for costly mezzanines. The case packer itself operates similar as the CUBEMASTER 300i, providing for a high throughput and the tightest case tube utilization in the global packing industry.
The integrated robotic case erector automatically loads a predetermined number of blank cases into the system. Once this is done, the conveyor moves the stack to its pick position, making room for the operator to load another stack. This boosts efficiency, just as the fact that the stacks do not have to be perfectly square. Prior to picking the first blank case, the top four cases are automatically squared with two cylinders. All in all, this is a unique erecting method that allows for cases to be formed with either the short or long side leading.

Spider 300
-
Horizontal and vertical case loading
The SPIDER 300 enables you to pack flexible bags into cases both vertically and horizontally. The process used by this machine is as quick as it is innovative, and offers you a great deal of flexibility and versatility. Once bags exit the bag making machine, the vision guided spider robot orientates the products in the right position.
For horizontal packing, products are picked up by the spider robot and placed directly into the case. For vertical packing, the empty case is first tipped 90° in front of the cassette. The spider robot then places the bags into the cassette. Once a cassette is filled with products, an automated pusher pushes them into the case in a single movement. After returning the case into a horizontal position, the bags are positioned vertically into the case. Once the case is packed, a new empty case is automatically placed in the filling position.
This seemingly simple process is an excellent result of technical ingenuity. Every aspect of the SPIDER 300 is aimed at enabling you to maximize efficiency in your case loading process.

WRAP AROUND
-
Less material for greater stability. This is the formula used in a wrap-around
procedure. Using wrap around technology can significantly reduce the costs of
packaging material.
Wrap around cases or trays are designed to pack products into die cut packaging, which forms directly around the product. Traditional RSCs generally have a lot more free space to facilitate the loading of products. The wrap around case offers a tight product, using less material per case as well as giving better strength for palletizing and distribution. The case magazine can hold twice as many wrap around cases versus standard RSC style. On top of that, more flexibility and variation of SRPs (Shelf Ready Packaging) are possible with wrap around cases compared to RSCs.
