A highly flexible compact designed pick and place (P&P) case-packing machine, the CLP, will be demonstrated by Case Packing Systems (Stand 626).
The system loads products into crates, cases or cardboard open top trays automatically; because product buffering does not take place the CLP is suitable to handle a large variety of different products which can be rigid, semi-rigid or flexible.
The infeed system is capable of turning or not turning products, which offers a huge variety of packing patterns. The pick-up head gently grasps the products, and the retracting conveyor under the products opens and the P&P head places a complete layer of products in the case, crate or tray. Placing the products in the case involves only a downward movement. The system offers extreme levels of reliability in combination with high capacity.
The CLP is commonly used to pack MAP/overwrapped trays, vacuum packs, flow wrapped packs, punnets, clam shells, tubs, inner cartons and some larger flexible bags, across a range of industries: meat; ready meals; fruit and vegetable; dairy; convenience foods; and dried fruit and nuts.
