ABC Packaging - Model 330T Case Erector / Bottom Tape Sealer

When you need a high performance case erector / tape sealer, choose the machine built for the job. Packed inside the heavy steel frame of this case erector is a powerful, continuous motion drive that speeds through case forming and sealing at 10-35 cpm. PLC electronics provide precise operation, linked to a clear and concise touchscreen operator control panel. Add the simplicity of no-tools changeover and an easy-load, low level case magazine, and you'll see why the Model 330T is the solution for your case erecting requirements.

 

The color display shows real-time operating data and allows independent operation of all functions, diagnostics, and changeover settings. Its simple, step-by-step sequences simplify set up and operation. Non-contact sensors monitor machine operation and ensure precise timing of each operating sequence.

 

The self-indexing auxiliary case magazine assures a continuous case supply to the erector. As each stack is used, another moves into position maximizing time between refills. The low level design makes it easy to refill without lifting cases.

 

This case erector has self-adjusting, spring loaded grippers assure proper case feed from uneven stacks of warped or band-marked cases. Their unique "floating" design allows them to operate independently to grip each case firmly and provide a consistent and reliable case feed.

 

Production-proven since 1990, A-B-C's cam-operated vacuum pullback case opener design is superior in running less-than-perfect corrugated. This method utilizes dual vacuum grippers- lower grippers provide solid compression to hold the case firmly while the upper grippers pull the case open.

 

The major case flaps are gripped firmly as the heavy-duty rear flap tucker folds the inner flap, ensuring efficient flap folding and sealing. The continuous motion main drive powers the walking beam case transfer that squares cases as they travel. The main drive has a sealed bearing linkage that ensures high speed performance for the long haul. 

 

After flap folding, cases enter the tape sealing section, and are transported by dual upper and lower belt drive as the tape is applied. The upper and lower belts are synchronized to ensure that the cases remain square during tape sealing.

 

Adjustment for the entire range of case sizes may be completed without change parts, by using rapid adjust cranks and slides with locking handles.
