Wrap Around Case Packing at 20 Cases per Minute
The nVenia Arpac DPM intermittent motion wrap-around case and tray packers are designed to package a wide variety of products in cases or trays. Reaching speeds up to 25 cases or trays per minute, these rugged machines help minimize labor requirements and increase production output.
By integrating blank feeding, product loading, case forming and container sealing into a single, compact machine, the DPM is ideal for packaging cans, jars, bottles and a host of other products.
Wrap-around case or tray blanks can reduce the amount of corrugated board used by up to 25 percent, with additional savings in warehouse space and lower handling costs.
Tightly wrapped cases and trays enhance stacking strength and help reduce damage caused by products shifting during shipping and handling. If additional strength is required, partitions may be inserted into the case or tray.
Arpac's DPM systems are easily integrated into new lines with other packaging equipment – after cartoners and shrink bundlers, or before tray stackers, shrink wrappers and palletizers.
