Patriot Series PS417HS - Case Erector

Astro Packaging Patriot Series Case Erector

Astro Packaging’s Patriot Series™ Model PS417HS Automatic Case Erector is built to make case size changeover an easy process, while its small size reduces the floor space required to fit on your production floor. The Patriot Series Case Erector can run a maximum of 45 cases per minute.

The case erector is engineered to be the most dependable and durable machine in its class. A horizontal case magazine ‐ that requires no follower mechanism ‐ makes adding knock down flat cases to the machine a simply performed task. The full length gull wing guarding assures eased access to the internal components of the equipment. Assured and reliable case opening is provided through opposed vacuum cups “pulling” the case open. A squaring system at the compression station assures the box is square prior the flaps being sealed.

The Patriot Series case erector operation is simple. A case knock down flat (KDF) is pulled from the integrated magazine and transferred to the opening station. The case is opened and then proceeds to the minor flap folding station. After minor flaps are folded, the case is carried past the gluing station where hot melt is applied, and major flaps are folded. At the compression station, the case is squared, and then the major and minor flaps are sealed. Size adjustments are simply performed via hand wheels with digital readouts or etched steel rules to insure repeatable changeovers.

Allow us to show you why the Patriot Series™ Model PS417HS Case Erector can be the solution to your automated case erecting needs.
