NEXUS Lite is a compact, cost-effective end-of-line system designed to introduce automation into your packaging operations. Ideal for companies seeking to streamline packing and shipping processes, it efficiently handles a wide range of products including books, video games, toys, and e-commerce items.

Combining packing, labeling, sealing, and multi-directional sortation in a single compact solution, NEXUS Lite delivers professional packaging quality with minimal investment and footprint.

Key Features

Operator-Friendly Loading

The system is manually loaded using pre-die-cut cartons of fixed format (slightly larger than A4) with variable heights from 40 to 120 mm, enabling flexible product handling with simple operation.

Adaptive Fit Packaging

After product placement, the machine automatically determines the final box thickness based on the selected carton, ensuring precise and consistent packaging results. Plastic-Free Product Retention

NEXUS Lite enables secure product stabilization without the use of plastic wrapping materials. Items can be shipped freely inside the carton when protection is not required. For delicate products, specially engineered cartons with integrated internal cushioning structures securely hold and protect the contents without additional packaging components.

Integrated Bottom Labeling

A built-in bottom-side label applicator automatically applies shipping or identification labels during the packaging cycle. The finished package exits the machine with the label positioned on the top face, clearly visible and correctly oriented for immediate downstream handling, including automatic conveying or sortation lines.

Automatic Closing and Taping

The carton is automatically closed and taped, delivering a secure, professional package ready for dispatch.

3-Way Sortation Output

A pop-up ejection system directs finished boxes to three selectable discharge directions, enabling flexible line integration and workflow optimization.

Optional Robotic Palletizing

For higher automation levels, an optional robotic module can be added to automate palletizing and further streamline end-of-line logistics.

The Ideal First Step into Packaging Automation

NEXUS Lite is the perfect solution for businesses introducing automation without major investment. Its intuitive operation, compact footprint, and versatile functionality make it a powerful entry-level system for improving productivity and ensuring safe, reliable shipments.

This electro-pneumatic box wrapping machine represents the most innovative choice for finishing of high-quality boxes for small and medium runs. The pre-formed box with the glued sheet has to be placed manually by the operator on to the suction head with the tool/mould already in place. A tool/mould is required for every box size, one for the lid and one for the base. The operator then presses 2 push buttons to operate the wrapping process. The vacuum operated system keeps the product in position throughout the complete folding and pressing cycle. When folding is completed, the suction head releases the finished box ready for manual removal or alternatively ejected onto conveyor belt etc. Material must have hot animal glue application or cold vegan glue heated to 30 degrees to ensure efficient, clean production. This model is set automatically using the touch screen simply by inputting the box parameters and the machine will adjust itself. It also has a facility to save jobs/settings for repeat orders.

Speed, pressure and dwell time are all adjustable to suit a wide range of materials ensuring a quality finish.
