Benefits

High-Speed, Mechanical Operation and Space-Saving, Compact Design: The A-B-C 335 case erector runs a realistic 35 cases per minute on a continuous motion, all-mechanical drive system. Each case blank is positively fed from the magazine by combination gripper/slide bar case transfer. A cam-operated opening arm and mechanical walking beam case transfer provide positive case handling and reliable operation throughout. At only 19 linear feet including the extended auxiliary magazine and tablock module, this tablock case erector is 30% smaller than competitive machines.

Color Touchscreen Gives You Total Control: This case erectors color display shows real-time operating data and allows independent operation of all functions, diagnostics, and changeover settings. Its simple, step-by-step sequences simplify set up and operation. Non-contact sensors monitor machine operation and ensure precise timing of each operating sequence.

Large Capacity, Easy-Load Case Magazine: The self-indexing auxiliary case magazine assures a continuous case supply to the erector. As each stack is used, another moves into position maximizing time between refills. This case erectors ergonomic low level design makes it easy to refill without lifting cases.

Case Feed Designed for Smooth Operation: This case erector has self-adjusting, spring loaded grippers that ensure proper case feed from uneven stacks of warped or band-marked cases. Their unique "floating" design allows them to operate independently to grip each case firmly and provide a consistent and reliable case feed.

Simple Tablock Folder with Bypass: This innovative method of tablock opening is the result of over 60 years of packaging machinery development. It's an original design that folds the flaps smoothly without stress on the tabs that can cause tearing or release. To run regular cases, this tablock case erector module is set at bypass mode. It's that simple.

Shock-Absorbing Case Sealing and Squaring Ram: The case compression mandrel is equipped with shock absorbers to eliminate machine stress, to reduce maintenance and ensure long machine life.
