Case packer/erector

Quin Systems and Endoline have announced the availability of a compact case packing and erecting machine, capable of handling 100 picks and 20 cases/min.

Combining Quin Systems' RTheta high-speed picking head with Endoline's 220 series of case erectors, the Versapack provides a complete, versatile end-of-line packaging solution inside a small 1800 x 1750 mm footprint. It provides options for high-speed case packing where automation has not hitherto been possible or economic.

The principle of Versapack is simple: an Endoline 220 series case erector frame is used to mount the Quin Casepacker picking head and a product feed conveyor, which results in the compact footprint. Its RTheta technology minimises inertia, enabling fast cycle speeds, while Quin's advanced motion control algorithms ensure smoother movement, resulting in less product damage, however fast the machine operates.

Its versatile design allows a wide range of product types to be packed including shelf-ready packages. Applications range from roll-wrapped biscuits, through flow-wrapped wet-wipes to cartoned ready meals.
