CapabilitiesEngineered for smooth integration in beverage production,
this case packer accepts grouped bottles directly from upstream
filling and capping stations. It is suitable for standalone operation
with appropriate infeed/outfeed conveyors or as part of a complete
used bottling line for industrial packaging.Inline Compatibility:
Works with upstream fillers, labelers, and cappersContainers: PET and
Glass bottlesOperation Modes: Standalone or integratedHandling:
Designed to receive bottle groups from standard conveyorsMachine
Condition & Maintenance HistoryThe machine is presented as a second
hand unit in working condition, suitable for immediate integration in
production once commissioned. A partial modernization has been
performed through the addition of an Omron display on one subassembly,
improving operator interface without altering the core mechanical
reliability of the platform.Status: Ready for operationModernization:
Partial retrofit with Omron displayOperational Performance &
VersatilityWith its two-head configuration and robust gripper design,
