Trimcote 2 Flap Closer

• Closing the top flaps of corrugated cases after product insertion in packaging lines.
• Sealing filled cartons in food processing and beverage industries.
• Automating the final stage of packaging for consumer goods and pharmaceuticals.
• Used in logistics and distribution centres for efficient parcel preparation.

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly operate at speeds of 10-30 cases per minute, depending on case size and line integration.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption of 1-3 kW.

Case size compatibility

Fully adjustable units like this are generally capable of handling a wide range of carton sizes, from small to large, within typical industry standards.

Sealing method

This unit uses hot melt glue for flap sealing, a common and reliable method for corrugated cases.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a typical footprint might be around 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 1m to 1.5m in width.

Air supply

Often requires a compressed air supply, typically 6 bar, for pneumatic components.

Adjustability

Units of this type feature manual or semi-automatic adjustments for different case sizes, often with quick-change mechanisms.

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.
