• Packaging beverages, such as bottles or cans, into trays for distribution.
• Creating retail-ready packaging for food products like jars, cartons, or pouches.
• Bundling personal care items, cosmetics, or household goods into trays for palletisation.
• Preparing multi-packs of consumer goods for promotional offers or bulk sales.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 20 to 40 trays per minute, depending on product configuration and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with an installed power of approximately 15-25 kW.

Air consumption

Pneumatic systems are common, requiring a compressed air supply at 6-8 bar, with consumption varying based on cycle speed.

Product grouping

As indicated, common configurations include 2x2, 3x2, 4x3, and 6x4, but other custom groupings are often possible for this type of machine.

Tray material

Typically designed for corrugated cardboard blanks, with varying board thicknesses suitable for forming.

Shrink film compatibility

Commonly compatible with various types of shrink film, such as PE, PVC, or polyolefin, with film thickness typically ranging from 30 to 80 microns.

Glue system

Units often integrate hot-melt glue systems, such as the Nordson Problue 7 mentioned, for tray formation.

Footprint

For a combined tray former and shrink wrapper, the overall footprint can be substantial, typically requiring a floor area of 8-12 metres in length and 2-3 metres in width.

• What is a tray former with shrink wrapper tunnel?

  This equipment automatically forms cardboard trays, loads products into them, and then passes the tray through a shrink tunnel to apply a protective and securing film wrap.

• What are the benefits of using a tray former with shrink wrapper?

Case packers are valued for their ability to automate repetitive boxing tasks, improving throughput and consistency across food production lines. Buyers typically prioritize machines in good mechanical condition, with accessible spare parts availability and clear maintenance histories. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Key considerations when purchasing used units include verifying operational status, checking for wear on conveyor systems and gripper mechanisms, and confirming compatibility with existing line specifications. Reliable case packers offer significant labour cost savings and production efficiency gains.
