Pick And Place Case Packer/Unpacker

Manufacturers concerned with maintaining maximum package quality are assured gentle handling and precise operation with A-B-C's Model 101 no-drop case packer or uncaser. Originally designed for high volume bottling lines in Europe, this packing innovation has become an accepted alternative to drop packing for any manufacturer concerned with preserving optimum product integrity. A new streamlined design and machine drive make the Model 101 packer/uncaser superior for packing or uncasing glass or plastic containers, aluminum cans or cartons, ensuring precise product placement and eliminating container damage or label scuffing. Snap Off gripper heads make changeover easy, eliminating the need for expensive gripper head assemblies for each packing arrangement. Simply reposition the gripper heads for the new pack, and resume operation. Fed by motorized conveyor to the packing station, the packer utilizes a release mechanism to eliminate back pressure that could cause product damage or label scuffing. Once the load station is filled, the product grippers lower and grip each product in the load; lifting the entire load for packing. During the arc into the case, the product is automatically shifted to accommodate case partitions, ensuring that each individual product slides neatly into the case cell. After the product reaches the bottom of the case the grippers release and cycle to pack the next product load. In the meantime, the filled cases are indexed to case sealing and empty cases are positioned for packing.
