The line includes Pearson’s CE35-T Case Erector, a Lane Diverter, RTL-MX Top Load Case Packer, CS25 Case Sealer, and RPC-MX Palletizer with integrated Pallet Dispenser and Stretch Wrapper.

Entre las características más destacadas del sistema se incluyen:

• Case packer packs 4 cases simultaneously to lower the pick and place rate
• Fanuc robots with Allen-Bradley controls provide maximum uptime and minimal maintenance requirements
• Regenerative vacuum blower minimizes compressed air consumption
• Common and intuitive operator experience on all equipment

Empty cases, as small as 7x5 inches, are formed on Pearson’s CE35 Case Erector. They are then conveyed into the packing cell with their length dimension traveling parallel to flow. At the same time, soap bottles enter the cell in a single lane before being diverted into two or three lanes to prepare the pick pattern. With its custom end-of-arm tool, the robot picks enough product for up to four cases at once to achieve the desired throughput rates. The tool then automatically extends and gaps each product group. Mechanical fingers hold the case flaps open to ensure a smooth placement. Once full, the cases continue their journey to Pearson’s CS25 where they are top sealed with tape. Sealed cases then continue to the RPC-MX palletizer with integrated stretch wrapper. There, a pallet dispenser releases a pallet and conveys it to the pallet build station, where the robot picks and places multiple cases at a time. A Z-style pattern maximizes the pallet capacity. As soon as a layer of product is completed, the integrated stretch wrapper wraps the pallet up to the next the layer to ensure load stability. This process continues until the pallet is complete and fully wrapped.
