Check out this automated, two-in-one case unpacker/packer

What exactly are you looking for? Case erectors, sealers, packers, decasers, bulk depalletizers, palletizers? If you’re looking for the perfect machine for your packaging hall, A-B-C probably manufactures it. In fact, just the other day, A-B-C dropped us a line on its newest packaging game-changer — an automated packaging solution for craft brewers who manually unpack and repack bottles in reusable (reshipper) cases. It’s a compact, all-in-one machine that performs both uncasing and case packing with every motion of the servo-operated robotic-style transfer head.

It’s called the Model 360, and it eliminates manual labor, provides gentle handling and ensures a consistent bottle feed to the production line — at a conservative cost, according to A-B-C. Here’s how it works: Cases filled with empty bottles are fed on a conveyor to the Model 360. In every cycle, two separate actions occur: The unpacking head grips and lifts the empty bottles and places them on the conveyor to be transferred to filling, while the packing head picks up and packs finished bottles feeding from the production line into the emptied case. The servo-operated transfer head smoothly and efficiently carries containers with no drop and keeps them under complete control during operation … bottles are released only when they reach the bottom of the case during packing, or the conveyor for unpacking.

The Model 360 uncases and packs 12- and 22-ounce bottles at speeds to 15 cases per minute. Its two-in-one footprint saves money by reducing the floor space and machinery investment when compared to the size and cost of separate uncasers and case packers.
