SEW - Sewtec Automation

• Automated packing of products into cases or cartons for distribution.
• Integration into high-speed production lines for end-of-line packaging.
• Handling of various product types, including flow-wrapped items, pouches, and rigid containers.
• Suitable for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods industries.

Typical throughput

For this class of robotic case packer, throughput commonly ranges from 20 to 60 cartons per minute, depending on product and carton size.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Air supply

Compressed air at 6-8 bar is commonly required for pneumatic components.

Product handling

Robotic pick and place systems are typically capable of handling a range of product dimensions and configurations.

Footprint

The physical footprint for a robotic case packer with buffer storage can vary significantly, often requiring several square metres of floor space per unit.

Integration

These machines are commonly designed for seamless integration with upstream processing and wrapping equipment.

• What kind of products can these case packers handle?

  Robotic case packers are versatile and can typically handle a wide array of products, especially those that are flow-wrapped, pouched, or in rigid containers, placing them into various carton formats.

• Are spare parts readily available for Sewtec Automation equipment?

• What level of automation can be expected?

• Can these machines be reconfigured for different product sizes?

• What are the typical maintenance requirements?

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.
