Bradman Lake SL50 2 Flap Closer

• Used for closing two flaps of cartons or cases in food production lines.
• Commonly integrated into automated packaging lines for confectionery, bakery, and prepared foods.
• Suitable for secondary packaging of products requiring secure, sealed enclosures.
• Applied in industries where consistent and hygienic carton sealing is critical.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 30 to 80 cartons per minute, depending on carton size and line integration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a control voltage of 24V DC.

Sealing method

This unit utilises hot glue wheels, a common method for strong, consistent flap closure.

Construction material

Being all stainless steel, this machine is well-suited for hygienic environments, common in food processing.

Footprint

A machine of this nature typically requires a footprint of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 1m to 1.5m in width, excluding infeed/outfeed conveyors.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance typically involves checking glue nozzles, wheel condition, and general cleaning, along with periodic lubrication of moving parts.

• What type of cartons can this machine typically handle?

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

• Is this machine suitable for washdown environments?

• What kind of hot glue is typically used with this machine?

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

• What spare parts are commonly needed for this 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.
