Multi Format Cartons

The weight and size of a case have a major impact on transport costs. It is therefore important to use the most efficient packaging possible to achieve the lowest shipping costs. Especially in an E-commerce and logistics environment, volume reduction is an important goal.

Lantech’s Multi Format Case Erector supports this by setting up and delivering the size of box required on demand. The case erector can be equipped with up to 4 blank magazines, depending on the number of case sizes required.

Why Square Cases Matter

Square cases pack better, stack better, and protect better. They provide the structural integrity to deliver the performance their designer intended.

Fact: cases lose 30% of their stacking strength if their sides are not aligned.

There are barriers to erecting square cases. Thinner corrugated, temperature and humidity changes, and variations in case blanks can cause cases to be “unsquared” or lead to machine jams. Lantech Case Erectors overcome these barriers through precise case management and 100% control of cases throughout the entire erecting process, ensuring your cases perform as designed and are produced with maximum efficiency.

From the moment a blank enters the magazine until it exits the case erector as a properly formed and bottom sealed case, it is under complete control. A unique pickup frame pulls the case from the magazine and forces it to open so it is square. The flaps are folded before the case moves, making it rigid and locking in its “squareness”. A pusher bar, parallel to the rear wall, delivers it to spring-loaded side belts, which move in or out to compensate for variations in width, and carry it over the sealing device.

 

Key Features

  • Ergonomic Blank Loading – Easy to load magazine. Replenish blanks while machine operates. Simple and fast magazine adjustments.
  • Blank Delivery Control – Powered belts precisely govern the delivery speed of the case blanks. Blank retainers ensure the blanks are spaced correctly.
  • Blank Separation – Special separators release only the leading blank to the pickup frame and retain the following blanks.
  • Square Case Erecting – Eight vacuum powered suction cups hold the blank in the correct position after it leaves the magazine. Both leading panels are held securely.
  • Stationary Flap Folding – Once the case is square, it remains square by folding the flaps while it’s stationary. This makes the case rigid and locks in the 90 degree angles.
  • Square Case Transition – A pusher bar, parallel to the rear wall of the case, pushes it into the sealing section where spring-loaded side belts automatically adjust for any width variations.
