Case erectors - Tray erectors

10 Machines

The main function of a case erector machine is, as its name indicates, to form and fold a case giving it its final shape to be used as a container.... Its functioning is very similar to the cartoners, the only difference is the size of the case. Unfolded cases are loaded into the cases warehouse, from where they will be picked up by means of suction cups, which will form the body of the case. The case is then folded and sealed with adhesive tape. The case is then brought into an outfeed conveyor belt and the case is ready to be filled. Not all companies decide to equip themselves with this type of machinery, as it is a job can be easily done by an operator. It is correct, however, to reflect on the fact that an operator takes an average of 20 seconds to form and close the lower part of a carton, while a forming machine, even of low speed, takes 7 seconds, therefore a third of the time. Having this type of machine certainly allows the company to reduce production costs and optimize the time allocated to this task. The tray erector machine also has the function of forming different types of trays, square, rectangular and special shapes. The tray erector works as follows: the pre-folded trays are taken from the warehouse and transported on adjustable guides. A mechanical pusher pushes the trays into a guide to give the trays the desired shape. Very often these machines are equipped with a glue dispenser device in order to to reinforce the closing with a glue drop. Once formed, the trays come out from an outfeed conveyor.
