Meypack makes a case for folding boxes

Meypack's new case packer is designed to end-package folding boxes containing pouches of milk powder into trays with or without lids, as well as wrap-around cases.

Called the VP 453, the machine can process eight different formats – though the addition of further formats is planned for a later date. Through the precise gluing of the lid to the tray, the lid is additionally secured.

The folding boxes, which enter the machine lying down, are erected by a single-track paddle chain. The paddles in the chain can be adjusted in such a way that folding boxes of varying thicknesses can be processed gently.

Machine maintenance and cleaning is made easier with the open construction of the Meypack case packer, and downtime is reduced. Bearings, chains and linear bearings are lifetime-lubricated, while the cable management, including pneumatics, is in accordance with current high industrial standards. The integrated Nordson hotmelt ProBlue Liberty tankless technology provides long storage options for the adhesive.

For quality control, the machine is equipped with the Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 control system as well as an expanded machine analysis available through the new SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panel TP1500. The machine dynamic is heightened through the integrated, energy-saving SEW Moviaxis-Servosystem.

The VP 453 case packer will be on display at FachPack in Nuremberg, Germany from 29 September to 1 October.
