Intermittent Case Packing at 25 Cases per Minute
Arpac EL-2000 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-2000 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-2000 is easily integrated into new and existing production lines and with other Arpac packaging equipment.
