Advanced Automation & Control Systems

Mechanical Axis Motion

The case packer uses mechanical axis movement to synchronize bottle pick-up and placement into cases. This design ensures repeatability, stable trajectories, and reduced maintenance complexity versus fully servo-driven systems, making it a dependable choice for continuous-duty beverage packaging.

Changeover & Format Flexibility

Existing heads (6+6 and 12) support common case configurations. Tooling-based changeovers allow fast adaptation to different case patterns and bottle counts. Control and adjustment features facilitate quick ramp-up after format changes.

Production Line Integration Capabilities

• Upstream integration: compatible with conveyors and infeed accumulation from bottling and labeling machines within a used bottling line.
• Downstream integration: suitable for connection to case closing/sealing, palletizer, and end-of-line inspection.
• Signals & handshaking: typical I/O for start/stop, jam detection, and emergency interlocks to synchronize with the rest of the line.
• Layout: compact top-load footprint enables straightforward placement into existing beverage production lines.

Machine Condition & Maintenance History

• Excellent overall state with mechanical components and guarding in very good condition.
• Operational with existing formats; ready for demonstration and acceptance testing at our facility.
• Supplied with manuals to support installation, operation, and routine maintenance.

Operational Performance & Versatility

Throughput & Patterns

The machine achieves up to 300 cycles/hour. With 12-bottle pick-up (single or 6+6), typical output reaches up to 4,200 bph depending on bottle format, case configuration, and upstream/downstream conditions.

Applications

Designed for bottle handling in beverage production and broader industrial packaging contexts, including lines for water, wine, beer, spirits, soft drinks, and similar products. Suitability for specific container types and case designs can be validated during technical assessment.

Installation Requirements & Site Preparation

• Power: 380 V, 3-phase + neutral, 50 Hz
