Newsmith - SMI WP 300

• Packaging of bottles, jars, cans, and cartons into corrugated cases for beverages, food, and household products.
• Collation and packing of multi-packs for retail display.
• Automated end-of-line packaging in high-volume production environments.
• Securing products for efficient storage and transport within the supply chain.

Typical capacity

Wrap-around case packers of this class typically handle 10 to 30 cases per minute, depending on product size and collation pattern.

Power supply

Units commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with an installed power of 5-15 kW.

Air consumption

Pneumatic systems are common, requiring a compressed air supply of 6-8 bar, with consumption varying based on operational speed.

Case dimensions

Machines of this type are generally adjustable to accommodate a range of wrap-around blank sizes and finished case dimensions.

Product types

Suitable for a variety of rigid and semi-rigid products, including plastic and glass bottles, metal cans, and cartons.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a typical footprint can range from 4 to 8 metres in length and 1.5 to 2.5 metres in width, plus infeed and outfeed conveyors.

• What is a wrap-around case packer?

  A wrap-around case packer forms a corrugated blank around a pre-collated group of products, creating a tight, protective case. This method often uses less material than traditional RSC cases.

• What are the benefits of using a wrap-around case packer?

• What kind of products can this machine pack?

• Is this machine suitable for different case sizes?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used unit?

• Can this machine integrate with existing production lines?

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.
