The erected case is transported to the loading position by two ‘high grip’ side belts where it is turned through 90 degrees after which the complete collation of product is moved into the case in one operation. The filled case is then turned into the upright position, followed by the sealing of the bottom and top flaps with tape or hotmelt glue in the closing section.

Products for Side Loading:
Rigid products often need to be placed in the case on their narrow side so that they can cope with higher loads during transport. Side loading is then ideal.
Depending on product dimensions and the required collation pattern, an appropriate set of change parts is required. We are often able to use standard parts, but sometimes tailor-made solutions are required.
Alternatively, a Pick & Place system with a combination of horizontal and vertical movements is used when dealing with unstable products.
