Packaging Strategies’ own reporting on case forming and packing has revealed similar themes.
In November, Serpa demonstrated its FG1 Top Load Carton/Tray/Case Former at PACK EXPO 2024. The FG1 is one of Serpa’s most versatile machines. It can form cartons, cases, or trays using corrugated or chip board materials, making the FG1 an ideal all-in-one solution for customers needing a higher level of flexibility in their packaging operations.
In October, EndFlex launched its Boxxer Wrap Around Case Packer, which groups products together and then bundles them in a corrugated case. Advantages of the equipment include efficiency (designed to handle high volumes of products) and cost savings in that wraparound case packers use less corrugate than pre-formed cases.
In August, ValTara launched its new PKR-Dual Delta Robot case packing cell, featuring two Delta robots working in tandem to pick and place products into cases at high speeds. The system is designed to provide fast, accurate, and efficient case packing for a wide range of products.
