ERECTING & FORMING
A reliable case or tray forming process – even for high speed requirements and customer-specific case formats.
Before the product can be packed, the case has to be produced in the first step. Both the tray and the case former automatically pick up the blanks from a magazine, unfold them, seal the bottom flaps and present the finished cases to the downstream module.
FAQ
The case former covers the following process steps:
- storage of flat case blank in a magazine
- picking up of flat blanks from the magazine
- opening of the carton sleeve by pushing or pulling to form a perfectly square case
- Vsealing of the bottom flaps with hot glue or self-adhesive tape
- open-flap detection
Depending on the sealing method (tape or hot glue), the case dimensions and cardboard quality, an ETT-case former can produce up to 60 cases per minute.
Typical cases for automated forming are RCS cases of the FEFCO 0200 or FEFCO 0201 types. FEFCO is the (French) abbreviation for European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers.
