Wrap-around case packer LCM 40 EL ERGON

automatic

LCM ERGON series automatic machines combine in one system the functions provided by wrap-around packers and shrink wrappers, for the packaging of plastic, metal, cardboard and glass containers in closed cases, on cardboard pad + film, on cardboard tray + film and on cardboard tray only. LCM ERGON series packing machines run up to 40 packs per minute, depending on the product handled and on the packing pattern. Different pack collations can be formed according to the container’s shape, capacity and dimensions; the most popular formats on market are 2x3, 3x4 and 4x6 in closed boxes, 4x3 and 6x4 on tray+film. LCM 40 ERGON packers are equipped with an electronic product-grouping system and can be configured with either in-line or 90° in-feed conveyor belts, depending on the customer’s requirements. These packers are also equipped with the integrated Easy-Load magazine (installed as standard). The format changeover is manual. At the machine infeed a motorized oscillating sorter lines up loose containers along a conveyor belt featuring low-friction chains made of thermoplastic material. In the pack-forming unit products are grouped in the chosen packing pattern by means of a pneumatic (LCM 30) or electronic (LCM 40) device. In case of packaging in closed case or tray, a sheet of corrugated cardboard is picked from the blank magazine by an alternate-motion picker with vacuum suckers; the carboard blank is then carried up along the blank ramp and positioned under the incoming pack collation with short leading side (wrap-around case) or long leading side (tray).
