top-loadingautomaticcompact

The ACP ERGON series consists of automatic compact packers, characterized by a solid monoblock structure, suitable for packing a wide range of products (glass, metal, plastic, cardboard containers and rigid bags) in American cardboard cases (RSC). Case packers from the ACP ERGON range feature a pick & place packaging system with loose product top loading and they can reach an output up to 20 packs/min. Hot melt glue (G model), as well as tape (S model), can be used to seal the cases. Format changeover is easy and quick and is carried out through the replacement of picking grippers. The machine access is easier, with advantages for the maintenance operations performed by the operator. 1. On a four-lane infeed conveyor, equipped with chains made of thermoplastic material with low friction coefficient level, a mechanical system for separating the product, composed of a pneumatic device for blocking and releasing the upper and lower loose product, creates the desired format. 2.The pre-folded blanks are picked from the cardboard magazine by an alternate motion picker composed of a group of suckers with vacuum suction. By moving away from the magazine, the picker opens the cardboard blank by giving it the squared shape of an open case. 3.The rotary flap-folding devices close the case lower flaps. The upper stabilizer opposes the upward push that the case receives during the closure of the lower flaps. 4.The product is picked by grippers in the case of loose containers and by suction suckers in the case of packs and is placed in the case through a top-loading system. Flap-folding devices activated by semi-rotary cylinders close the case upper flaps.
