Pearson’s CS15 Case Sealers handles a wide-range of RSC and CSSC case sizes. Featuring a compact size and continuous motion, the CS15 top seals at speeds of 15 to 29 cases per minute depending on case length. A convenient bypass option eliminates the need for additional conveying when pre-sealed boxes or HSCs are introduced into the line. Advanced features such as high-visibility machine status lighting, non-contact interlocks, CAT-3 Safety Circuits and an easily accessible grace port are standard on the machine.

Standard Features

A built-in metering stop creates gaps between cases without the need to adjust infeed conveyor speed for each case.

Dual channel safety circuit maintains integrity of safety features in case of single component failure.

Optimal Case Infeed Gaps

A built-in metering stop creates gaps between cases without the need to adjust infeed conveyor speed for each case.

Safety Redundancy with CAT 3

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.

Hand Pack Station

An ergonomically-designed, highly-configurable hand pack station that can be customized for various plant layouts and output requirements.

HMI

Human Machine Interface allows operators to operate, monitor and collect data using a graphical screen in place of push buttons.

Oversized and Undersized Case Support

This machine can be modified to operate outside of standard specifications to accommodate smaller or larger dimension products and cases. Specific adjustments require engineering review to determine limitations and potential performance trade-offs such as machine speed or larger machine footprint.

Plant Level Ethernet Connection

A Network Address Translation device allows specific Ethernet network configurations across multiple machines in the plant network and offers the ability for remote support through VPN connections.

Portability

Easily move or reposition a machine on the production floor with the portability package, which provides locking casters and stabilizing jackscrew assemblies. Depending on machine model, it can also include quick disconnects for air lines and electrical lines.

Tape Sensing

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

CS15-T Case Sealer

Pearson’s CS15-T Case Sealer top seals a variety of case styles with tape at rates of 15-29 cases per minute. With a bypass option for pre-sealed or open-top cases, the machine is easy to operate and has tool-less changeovers. Plus, advanced features including Remote Access capability and safety redundancy come standard.

Simple Erect, Pack & Seal System – Cartons of Cupcakes

In this system, a slow-speed case erector supplies erected RSCs, into which the small, multi-axis robot maneuvers the cartons before they convey to the CS15 Case Sealer for closing.

Case Erecting, Packing & Sealing for Juice Cups

This erect, pack and seal system by Pearson Packaging Systems forms consistently square and securely-sealed cases, and incorporates dual robots with custom tooling to pack layers of juice cups and place dividers. With a consistent HMI across all equipment to support operation, changeovers and troubleshooting, the system also comes with Remote Access capability, machine status lighting and safety redundancy.

Erect, Pack & Seal for Bagged Tortillas

In this application, a Pearson Case Erector and Sealer form consistently square and securely sealed cases. A robotic case packer is designed with a vision system to detect the location of products, and dual Scara robots pack the products into cases. A 2-person handpack station is integrated for small-batch product runs.

What tape width can be run on the machine?

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

What tape mil thickness is required?

For optimal performance, we recommend 2.5 mil to 3.2 mil. If you want to run other mil thicknesses, please allow Pearson engineering to review your application.

Does case hand matter?

No. Case hand does not matter in the configuration of a box sealer.

What is the lead time? When does it start?

Standard lead time is 9-10 weeks (+1-2 weeks for stainless option). Standard lead times do not account for non-standard options. These are estimates, your confirmed lead time will be provided once the project is being scheduled with project management. You may also request a specific date, which we’ll confirm before you place the order. Lead times start when the PO is accepted.

What HMI is standard?

Pearson standardizes on Allen Bradley, PanelView1000+. Our user-centric interface is built on the Rockwell platform and cannot be applied to other HMI brands.

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.

What are the limitations of low-pressure washdown?

Low-pressure washdown is limited to 4.3 psi at a distance of 10 feet. It does not protect against direct hard spray or the use of caustic fluids.
