Automated case erector for high-speed packaging lines
Streamline your packaging line with this solution that forms and secures cartons with precision, ensuring your products are ready for efficient, high-speed packing and shipping.
Streamlines Bottle and Carton Packaging Process
The Flexi Series from APE Impianti is a high-capacity packaging solution designed for seamless integration into your production line. Featuring Axipack technology, it modularly adapts to diverse production spaces and requirements. This series excels in bottling and carton applications within wine, beer, spirits, and food industries by efficiently conducting carton forming, case erecting, bottle picking, partition inserting, and case sealing operations. With automation capabilities that offer continuous operation at up to 12,000 bottles per hour, the Flexi Series ensures both speed and flexibility. It uses brushless motors for precise movement control, optimizing speed variations during cycles, and reduces energy consumption compared to conventional systems. Modular configuration options, including a Crate Kit for returnable glass bottles, highlight its adaptability. Maintenance is streamlined with automated format changes accessible via a user-friendly operator panel, ensuring minimal downtime and optimizing productivity.
