ABC Packaging - Model 450 Hot Melt Case Erector / Bottom Sealer

For high speed case erecting, choose the Model 450 case erector and sealer. This case former runs up to 50 cases per minute, providing square, well-sealed cases to high speed lines. Packed inside its compact frame is a workhorse machine, with a hefty 3 hp main drive motor that powers cases through erecting and sealing. With an easy-load case magazine, non-stop servo-controlled case sealing ram, computer-driven operation with touchscreen controls, this case erector is the top choice for speed, durability and reliability.

Large capacity, easy load case magazine

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.

Designed for real world production

This case erector is designed to accommodate out-of-spec cases. The opening arms "over-open" the major flaps to compensate for poorly slotted cases, and the vacuum cups pull cases from above and below to ensure proper opening of warped cases. The walking beam case drive squares each case during transfer.

A-B-C Intelligent Control ensures precise operation

Intelligent Control takes PLC logic one step further to provide total control of operation. Closed loop position feedback ensures precise timing of each operating sequence through non-contact sensors. The color display shows real-time operating data and allows independent operation of all functions, diagnostics, and changeover settings.

Servo-powered sealing ram forms square cases

As each case enters the sealing station, the servo motor-powered sealing ram smoothly and reliably enters the case and compresses the flaps to ensure a secure seal. The ram stroke is precisely controlled by the servo motor, ensuring optimum precision during high speed production runs.
