Bradman Lake SL50 2 Flap Closer

• Closing flaps on cases or cartons in a packaging line.
• Integrating into automated production lines for secondary packaging.
• Sealing filled cases prior to palletisation or dispatch.
• Handling a variety of product types within cases, such as food, pharmaceuticals, or consumer goods.

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly achieve speeds suitable for medium to high-volume production lines, often ranging from 20 to 60 cases per minute, depending on case size and configuration.

Case size range

A Bradman Lake SL50 is typically designed to accommodate a range of case sizes, which would be specified by the seller for this particular unit.

Sealing method

This unit uses hot glue wheels, indicating a hot melt adhesive sealing process for secure flap closure.

Construction material

The 'all stainless steel' construction is typical for equipment intended for hygienic environments, such as food or pharmaceutical processing.

Power supply

For this class of equipment, a three-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is commonly required, along with a compressed air supply for pneumatic functions.

Footprint

The physical footprint of an SL50 flap closer is typically compact for integration into existing lines, but exact dimensions should be confirmed with the seller.

• What types of cases can this machine handle?

  This type of flap closer is generally designed for regular slotted containers (RSC) or similar carton styles where two flaps require sealing. Specific dimensions and case material compatibility should be verified with the seller.

• Is this unit suitable for food production?

• What maintenance is typically required for a hot glue system?

• Can this machine be integrated into an existing packaging line?

• What spare parts are commonly needed for this type of equipment?

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.
