WSI Global releases PackMate to help put product into cases while keeping labor and set up times at a minimum.
Ideal for any folder gluer that is being hand-packed, PackMate combines case erecting and positioning for packing in one semi-automatic operation.
Requiring an air connection, the machine can integrate into existing packaging systems, and sets up in minutes right out of the box.
As the operator places the case into the PackMate, the minor flaps of the case are closed.
The PackMate then closes the major flaps, positions and holds the case steady and securely on all four sides for packing, and discharges the filled case for taping or other downstream operations.
Employees no longer handle cases twice or struggle with erecting and supporting cases for packing.
Operators can concentrate on loading – not trying to stabilizing the case.
PackMate can be adjusted for height or angle across a wide range that covers most heights and case sizes.
Adjustments can be made in two directions for easy packing and smooth discharge.
The height, tilt angle, case guide (if used), and location of the discharge button are adjustable.
The operator control button can be located for easy access.
PackMate safety features include a reset button that protects against accidental start-up.
