/images/stories/virtuemart/product/DG00083.jpg - Raised side drives

Applications & Use Cases

• Used in packaging lines for sealing cartons and cases.
• Ideal for processing high, short cases that require stable side support during sealing.
• Commonly found in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and general manufacturing.
• Integrated into automated or semi-automated packaging systems to improve throughput.

Typical Specifications

Drive Type

Typically features synchronised side belts for consistent case conveying.

Case Height Adjustment

For this class of equipment, side drives are commonly adjustable to accommodate various case heights, often with increments as described (e.g., 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm above a roller table).

Case Size Compatibility

Designed to handle a range of case dimensions, particularly beneficial for high, short cases where standard bottom drives may be insufficient.

Throughput

Throughput rates vary significantly by model, but units of this type are typically designed for continuous operation in a production environment.

Power Supply

Commonly operates on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase power, typically 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Integration

Often designed for seamless integration with existing conveyor systems and packaging machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the primary benefit of raised side drives?

  The main benefit is enhanced stability for tall or short cases during the sealing process, preventing tipping or misalignment that can occur with bottom-only drive systems.

• Can these units be integrated into an existing packaging line?

• What types of cases are best suited for raised side drives?

• Are spare parts readily available for used units?

• What maintenance is typically required for raised side drives?
