Types of Case Sealing Machines
Random Case Sealers are case sealing systems that can adjust their tape head height to any case size on the fly. Using sensory equipment, the tape head will rise or lower until it finds the proper height. The case then moves through the powered roller system, sealing the flaps. Random Case Sealing machines are great for packaging equipment solutions that use a variety of box sizes at the same time. Random case sealers are available in both automatic and semi-automatic running formats.
Automatic Random Case Sealers provide a fully automated case sealing packaging solution. Cases of random sizes are fed into the machine with their flaps still open. Automated arms then find the height of the box and the system folds down the top flaps of the package. With the flaps folded the case then moves though the tape head, sealing the flaps. Once sealed the closed packages are moved out the back end of the machine for handling.
These systems are designed for high volume packaging solutions sealing 15 – 20 cases per minute. Combine an Automatic Random Case Sealer with a Carton Erecting Machine for full form, fill and seal packaging solution.
Semi-Automatic Random Case Sealers offer a simple and easy way to seal cases of random sizes. Unlike the automatic random machines these case sealers require an operator to fold the top flaps of the box. Once folded, the operator feeds the box into the case sealer to begin the sealing process.
A Semi-Automatic Case Sealer is then able to adjust to the proper box height and pass the case through the tape head. Finished boxes are then fed out the back of the machine to an employee or conveyor system.
Uniform Case Sealers are packaging machines that use a fixed tape head that needs manual adjustment for each new box height. These case sealing systems are best suited for large packaging runs using the same size cases. Uniform Case Sealers are available in a variety of sizes and speeds, ensuring there is a system that fits your specific packaging needs. Uniform Case Sealers are available in both automatic and semi-automatic formats.
Automatic Uniform Case Sealers are case sealing systems to do not require an operator to fold the case flaps. Boxes of the same size are fed into the machine via operator or conveyor one at a time. The Automatic Uniform Case Sealer then folds down the case flaps and passes the box through the tape head. Combine an Automatic Uniform Case Sealer with a Carton Erecting Machine for a full form, fill and seal packaging solution.
Semi-Automatic Uniform Case Sealers use a fixed tape head to seal boxes that are closed manually by an operator and fed into the machine. The systems feature easy to adjust tape heads as well as top and bottom sealing methods. Semi-Automatic Uniform Case Sealers are perfect for packaging solutions that seal lower volumes of the same sized cases.
