Case packer

Flexible, gentle, and fast – these are the key factors for case packing.

Case packers play a key role in packaging process, especially in automation of production lines. The cases keep the products intact during the global delivery and long transport routes. Elematic case packers from Syntegon have been designed for maximum efficiency, performance, and flexibility.

Our case packer portfolio includes packers for RSC and wrap around technology, also shelf ready for a wide format range. Whether top load, side load or wrap around case packers – the Elematic packs all kind of products for many different industries: chocolate, confectionery, cookies and crackers, bakery, cereals, snacks, cheese, pet food, home & personal care and even toys and games. Syntegon’s case packers offer easy and quick format changeovers. You can run up to 100 different case styles on one machine – from simple tray, customized wrap arounds to complex tray and hood cases.

Elematic case packer includes optionally automated format changeovers across multiple levels, that is beneficial for a guided, verified, and error-free changeover. Case packer machines can be integrated seamlessly into new and existing vertical or horizontal packing systems.

Syntegon’s case packers handle recycled packaging materials in the best possible way, but can also handle new alternative packaging materials, such as grass, cup plant (silphium perfoliatum), or coconut fibre. Our case packer machines are sustainable as they use dotted glue application. This saves around 10 percent of energy and up to 40 percent of glue without sacrificing case stability.

Arto Liimatainen, Technical Manager at Orkla Confectionery & Snacks Finland AB

“The machine delivers what its name suggests – a compact, easy-to-clean and accessible case packer. Case forming, placing the bags inside and closing the packaging required gentle handling and accurate grouping to literally ‘build’ the transport case around the bags. We were impressed with the fast and efficient solution from Syntegon.“

FAQs on secondary packaging for home products

Packaging takes on a double role: first, it has to make sure that products arrive at supermarkets unharmed and in good shape. Second, products should also attract consumers’ attention trough an appealing look at the POS. Transport safety, an attractive presentation and quick shelf placement are requirements that any packaging for home products should meet.

Since these solutions serve multiple purposes, manufacturers work with custom designed blanks. For shelf-ready packaging, for example, a perforated line separates the upper part so that the individual packages are visible on the shelf and the products are presented attractively. The challenge with one-piece shelf-ready packaging, however, is the size and length of the perforation. Blanks are often thin and fragile due to the strong perforation. If not processed gently, they will tear during the folding process. This results in unnecessary product waste, which could be avoided by using appropriate technologies.

Through form-fitting folding movements during the forming process, even at high processing speeds. It is important to have workflows that match the forming specifications of the blanks and prevent tearing or breaking. Machines must be adaptable to be calibrated to the cut and crease lines as well as the perforations of the blank. With the Elematic 2001 Wrap-Around (WA), Syntegon has developed a fully automated single-level case packer with product infeed and grouping.

The trend towards sustainable packaging materials is gaining ground. Solutions based on grass, coconut or sugar cane fiber are slowly but surely replacing plastic materials. We are modifying our machines accordingly: the Elematic 2001 series can process solid and corrugated cardboard made from recycled paper and alternative fiber materials, even in a more bent state than usual.
