New - Soco Box Erector F-100-5

• Used in food processing lines for forming cardboard boxes or cartons ready for product packing.
• Suitable for end-of-line packaging operations in bakeries, confectioneries, and ready-meal production.
• Applicable in facilities requiring consistent and efficient box formation for various food products.
• Utilised in environments where manual box erection is too slow or inconsistent for production demands.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput typically ranges from 5 to 15 boxes per minute, depending on box size and operator efficiency.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a standard single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V, 50Hz.

Box size range

Semi-automatic box erectors commonly handle a range of carton sizes; buyers should confirm the specific dimensions this unit can accommodate.

Footprint

The footprint for a semi-automatic erector is typically compact, designed to integrate into existing packaging lines without extensive space requirements.

Operation

This model is described as semi-automatic, meaning an operator is typically required to load flat blanks and initiate the forming cycle.

Air supply

Many box erectors utilise pneumatic components and typically require a compressed air supply, often 6-8 bar.

• What does 'semi-automatic' mean for a box erector?

  A semi-automatic box erector requires an operator to manually load flat carton blanks into the machine. The machine then automatically forms the box, folds the flaps, and often seals the bottom, presenting an erected box for filling.

• What kind of boxes can this machine erect?

• Is installation complex for a 'never installed' used unit?

• What maintenance is typically required for a box erector?

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

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.
