Advanced case erector for Rsc/american cartonboard

Optimize your packaging line with precise case erection and glue sealing, ensuring secure and efficient carton handling for high-speed production environments.

Automates Case Erecting and Sealing

The FORM 3000 from APE Impianti is an automatic case erector designed for high-speed packaging lines. It sets itself apart with a precise mechanical design and an electronic handling system, making case forming and hot-melt bottom flap sealing highly reliable. Tailored for beverage producers, it efficiently processes RSC/American cartons, ensuring seamless integration in wine, beer, and spirits packaging operations. The FORM 3000 achieves a throughput of up to 24,000 bottles per hour, facilitating rapid production cycles. With automated control via an operator panel, it supports quick format changes for diverse packaging needs. The machine’s compatibility with hot-melt adhesives maximizes sealing integrity on cartonboard materials. Designed for durability and minimal maintenance, the system sustains optimal performance, keeping your production line running smoothly.
