Automatic case erector for cartonboard with hot-melt glue binding

Streamline your packaging line with efficient case erecting and secure bottom flap closure using precise hot-melt technology, ensuring consistent, high-speed operation for bottling or food production facilities aiming to enhance their automation process.

Automates Case Erecting, Packing, and Sealing

The Productive Series from APE Impianti transforms packaging operations within the wine, beer, spirits, and food industries by fully automating case erecting, packing, and sealing processes. The series includes the FORM 1300, AXIPACK 100, INCA BS, AXI INSER 100, CH S11 NS, and CH 1000, each designed for specific tasks like erecting American RSC cartons with hot-melt closure, or modular packing using brushless motor-driven axes for precise control.

Capable of handling up to 6,000 bottles per hour, these machines streamline the packaging of 250ml to 750ml bottles, including returnable glass. Integration into existing lines is seamless, with format changes and remote control available through advanced operator panels. The AXIPACK 100’s modular design adapts to spatial constraints, while all models emphasize energy efficiency and robust construction.

Compliance with industry standards ensures quality and reliability, while the easy-to-maintain components, like the vacuum suction heads in the INCA BS, preserve bottle integrity and simplify cleaning. Tailored engineering support is available for customization, maximizing operational uptime and production flexibility.

Benefits

  • Enhances packaging efficiency by automating case setup and sealing, reducing manual labor.
  • Increases production flexibility with quick format changes, adaptable to varying bottle and carton sizes.
  • Optimizes space utilization with modular design tailored to existing production lines.
  • Minimizes bottle damage while ensuring label preservation with gentle packing mechanisms.
  • Reduces energy consumption through precise motor control, lowering operational costs.
