CE15 Case Erector

Configured for a wide range of case applications and corrugate variances, Pearson’s CE15 Case Erector reliably opens knockdown cases using dual opposing vacuum and advanced flap control. Servo driven flights preserve squareness of the case as it travels through the machine. With a small footprint and sliding doors, the CE15 is ideal for difficult spaces. A 7” Allen-Bradley HMI with User Centric Design is standard for ease of operation.

User Centric Design

User centric design is about making the interaction with our machines as intuitive as possible. We want to reduce the learning curve for operators and maintenance technicians, make it easy to interpret data from the machine into actionable information, minimize the margin for human errors and make set up, changeover and fault recovery a faster and more seamless process resulting in improved up time and equipment availability.

Popular Upgrade Options

Additional Tape Head

A spare tape head allows quicker replacement of tape by exchanging the entire head and refilling the empty one while the machine is back up and running.

Auxiliary Operations Station

An auxiliary operator station enables easy access to cycle start/stop, reset, and emergency stop pushbutton functions on both sides of the machine.

Extended Magazine

Case erector magazine extensions allow longer continuous machine operation between magazine reloads. A variety of horizontal and vertical magazine extension upgrades are available and range from 2 feet to more than 16 feet depending on the machine and available floor space.

Low Temperature Environment

Electrical enclosures located in cold and humid environments maintain better performance and longevity with the addition of this heater and drier package.

Remote Access Router

A remote access router mounted in the electrical cabinet allows secure Internet VPN connection to a machine or system for support and control program change needs. This capability is included with every Pearson engineered system and as an option on all individual machines. Remote service access offers the potential to reduce on-site service trips. Internet connectivity is available via direct Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or cellular methods.

Tape Sensing

Sensors detect fail-to apply, fail-to-cut and low tape situation.

What tape width can be run on the machine?

For optimal performance, two and three-inch tape is recommended.

How do I determine case hand?

Your case hand is important for us to know as it determines how the case erector is configured to run your cases. You can easily determine case hand by standing in front of your corrugate knockdown (flat unopened case) with the bottom flap pointing downwards. The larger side of the case now determines the hand as seen in the illustration. Case hand generally determines machine hand. However, since the industry does not use the machine hand terminology consistently, Pearson only asks for case hand. From there we will determine the correct machine configuration for you.

What configuration options exist?

The above list of upgrade options only covers our most popular items intended to enhance the performance of your machine. Our configuration and customization options are extensive. To determine any necessary or desired modifications to the base machine, we review and consult with you on your individual application.

What information do I need to provide for a quote?

If a quick, high-level budgetary quote is all you need, we are happy to provide you with the base machine rate. However, the more information you provide us about your particular application, the more accurately we can quote you. It also enables us to identify potential challenges and discuss how we can overcome them. If you are interested in a detailed quote, expect our sales managers to discuss the following questions with you.

  • Case rates
  • Case Style (RSC, HSC, Bliss, FOL, etc..)
  • Case dimensions (LxWxD, Open Depth and KDW, Drawings are preferred)
  • Tape or glue closure
  • Construction type (mild steel, stainless steel, stainless with NEMA4X low-pressure washdown)
  • Environment of room where equipment will be placed – Hot, cold, wet, temp
  • Duty cycle (ie. 3 shifts per day 5 days per week)
  • Voltage requirement
  • Product inside the cases (pictures preferred)
  • Estimated full case weight
  • Wish list for upgrade options
  • Special requirements
  • Are there specifications that need to be reviewed?

What can I expect after I request a quote?

If all you need is a high-level budgetary quote, we will provide you base-level machine pricing immediately. If you are looking for a more detailed quote, we will reach out to you within 24 business hours to discuss your application and collect all the necessary information. Once we collected the information, expect a detailed quote within 2-4 business days (unless your application requires non-standard options). For a firm quote, we generally like to review a sample of your case(s)/partitions/bags. This greatly reduces the risk of missing any potential obstacles and ensures that you receive not only the most accurate quote but also a high-performing machine. If your request requires a specifications response, please allow 7-10 working days for a quote turnaround.

Why do you need case samples for a firm quote? What if I don't have any?

Case samples allow us to help you avoid unforeseen challenges, determine the need for special options or recommend a different machine model better suited for your application. In nearly 65% of all projects, case sample reviews prevent costly mistakes, inferior performance and extended lead times. Here is a small sample of unwanted problems case reviews uncovered and averted:

  • Samples did not match drawings, which drove a change to the proposal
  • Unidentified shied flaps
  • Case hand was not identified on drawings or different
  • Product fit too tight or too loose into the case
  • The case’s manufacturer’s joint location or style interfered with the product being loaded
  • Corrugate quality issues interfering with proper machine performance
  • Bag thickness/construction/size did not match the requirements
  • Flap folding sequences/glue patterns requiring special attention
  • Head space in cases requiring special options or over pack interfering with proper sealing

Although we’d like to review case samples before we provide a firm quote, we understand that this is not always possible. In that case, we will provide a quote based on the information and drawings you provided.

This machine is available under the Machine as a Service Program. Where can I learn more?

The MaaS program is an exciting opportunity to automate even when CapEx is unavailable. Far superior to traditional leasing models, MaaS aligns operational costs with production output. Learn more here
