Intermittent Case Packing at 25 Cases per Minute
The nVenia Arpac EL intermittent motion end-load tray and case packers are designed to serve a wide range of industries. At speeds up to 25 trays or cases per minute, these rugged systems help minimize labor requirements and increase production output.
The EL combines product accumulation, tray and case forming, loading and sealing into a single compact system, and is well suited to handle a wide range of product configurations and applications including: plastic bottles, cans, boxes, folding cartons, bags and glass jars.
Material savings are realized by the end-load style tray and case. These tray/cases use less materials than conventional top-load style containers.
The Arpac EL is easily integrated into new and existing production lines and with other Arpac packaging equipment.
