New Case Packer Offers Small Foot Print and Fast Changeover

Blacksburg, VA, August 05, 2008 --(PR.com)-- ESS Technologies, Inc., U.S. distributor of Bergami cartoners, tray formers, wrappers, and tube fillers, offers Bergami’s new Model K 15 Automatic Horizontal Case Packer as part of its complete line of packaging machinery. This next-generation case packer uses high accuracy mechanics to create a high performance machine that offers one of the smallest footprints in the industry. True “Balcony” design and the rear drive meet cGMP standards and allow complete access for product changeover, inspection, and maintenance. The case packer loads cartons, bundles, pouches, squeezable tubes, etc. into corrugated cases at a speed of up to 18 cases per minute. The machine is controlled via an Allen Bradley PLC with PanelView HMI for ease of operation.

The very small footprint makes the K 15 a flexible fit to any packaging line. Digital indicators on the front of the machine allow for quick changeover times. The horizontal case magazine provides easy loading of case blanks, and a double-armed system guarantees accurate opening and squaring of the case during product loading. Ideal for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic and consumer product packaging, the K 15 handles a wide range of product and case dimensions. Case closure options include hot-melt gluing and tape. Other optional features include case coding and case turning.

As a Bergami representative, ESS Technologies, Inc. has the expertise to integrate the K 15 into existing and new packaging systems to meet any application. Superior design and turnkey systems integration from ESS Technologies, Inc. make the K 15 Automatic Horizontal Case Packer the ideal solution for case packing applications.
