End-of-Line & Palletizing
Case Former, Case Packer and Case Sealer Systems
Main function
Case Former, Case Packer and Case Sealer systems are integrated industrial machines that form, prepare, close and seal empty cartons or cases, ready to be filled or shipped.
These systems combine several technologies:
· Case Former — takes a flat carton (knocked-down case), opens it and forms it into an upright case.
· Case Packer / Tray Loading — positions and inserts products into the cases.
· Case Sealer — closes the case by automatically sealing the bottom and top flaps (adhesive tape, hot melt glue, tape, etc.).
These solutions are critical for automated packaging, order fulfillment and shipping lines, ensuring a continuous, reliable flow that meets logistics requirements.
Typical applications
| Application | Description | Operational objective |
|---|---|---|
| Case forming (Case Former) | Automatic forming of cases from flat cartons | Automate packaging preparation and ensure continuous line feeding |
| Case forming and tray loading | Forming cases and placing multiple products before sealing | Optimize packaging of heavy or complex products into multi-packs |
| Integrated forming and sealing | Combined system that forms, fills, and seals cases in a continuous flow | Simplify the line and maximize productivity in automated environments |
| Case sealing (Case Sealer) | High-speed automatic sealing of filled cases | Secure packaging for transport and prepare products for shipping |
Key benefits
· Complete automated flow: Integrating forming, filling and sealing functions reduces manual handling, increases throughput and minimizes packaging errors.
· High speed and repeatability: Case Form/Pack/Seal systems (Wexxar Bel, etc.) support high industrial production rates with the repeatability and reliability required for automated operations.
· Multi-format flexibility: These machines can be configured to handle various carton and case sizes, with quick changeover adjustments to optimize production transitions.
· Logistics optimization: By standardizing case forming, loading and sealing, these systems improve pallet stability, packaging readability and logistics compliance at the end of the line.
· Easy integration with conveyors and peripheral systems: The machines connect to modular conveyors, sorting or inspection systems, and PLC/HMI controllers for full line synchronization.
