Increase Production with Packaging Automation

With the increasing demand for faster delivery times and precise packaging, it’s no wonder that warehouses are turning to automation to increase productivity and lower costs to stay competitive. Investing in the right end of line packaging equipment, companies can expect to boost productivity, improve accuracy, and increase safety in the packaging process.

Case Packers are fundamental components of any automated packaging line. These machines efficiently load products into cases, containers, or trays, creating neat and secure product cases that maximize space and protection during transit. Case packers can pack products in a variety of formats, including film only, pad and film, tray and film, and wrap-around cases.

By automating this part of the workflow, your company can significantly increase packing speed while reducing labor costs and human error. This not only streamlines operations but also enhances product consistency and quality, leading to fewer returns and greater customer satisfaction.

Case Erectors and Case Sealers are two more pivotal automation tools that work together to enhance the packaging process. A case erector takes flat-packed boxes and assembles them into shape, making them ready for product loading. This process not only saves time versus manually erecting the box but also ensures that each box is perfectly formed, providing a solid and consistent foundation for packing, stacking, and wrapping the boxes on a pallet.

Once a case is packed, a case taper steps in to seal the box securely with tape. Automating the sealing process guarantees uniformity and strength, reducing the risk of boxes opening during transportation. Utilizing case erectors and tapers ensures that packaging is done quickly and consistently, freeing up your staff to focus on other critical tasks.

Stretch Pallet Wrappers play a vital role in maintaining load integrity during transportation and storage. These machines apply stretch wrap tightly around the palletized loads, securing the products to the pallets and providing protection from external elements, such as dust and moisture.

Automating the stretch wrapping process ensures consistent and precise application of the film, minimizing the risk of product movement during transit, which results in primary packaging and product damage.
