Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Used Casepacking
Monoblock Somic 2002 (Model KA) is a compact, second hand solution
engineered for reliable end-of-line cartoning within an industrial
packaging environment. Purpose-built for beverage production and other
FMCG sectors, it is suitable for packing containers from upstream
rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling systems into cases or trays.
This monoblock architecture minimizes footprint and simplifies
integration in a used bottling line while maintaining robust
performance. Manufacturer: Somic Model: KA Category: Casepacking
Monoblock Condition: In storage (second hand) No. of sockets: 1
(single pickup position for case loading, format dependent)
Application: Automated case/tray packing of beverage and food products
Production speed: Format- and product-dependent; designed for
efficient, repeatable mid- to high-throughput operation Container
types: PET bottles, glass bottles, aluminum cans (other formats
subject to tooling) Product types: Water, juice, beer, wine, and
related beverage production SKUs Case styles: Cartons, cases, and
trays as configured (final pack pattern depends on change parts)
Documentation: Manuals available for operation, maintenance, and setup
Advanced Automation & Control Systems Built on Somicâs proven
platform, the KA monoblock employs a PLC-based architecture with an
operator-friendly HMI for recipe management and diagnostics. Format
parameters can be saved and recalled to streamline changeovers across
PET, glass, and aluminum formats. Sensors monitor infeed, case
presence, and loading sequence to ensure consistent placement,
reducing stoppages and rework in a used bottling line environment.
Controls: PLC control with HMI interface for setpoints, alarms, and
recipes Automation: Sequence-controlled case erecting/loading/closing
(as configured), with status indication Electrical: Industrial
three-phase supply; exact voltage/frequency per manufacturerâs
manual Safety features: Fixed and interlocked guards, emergency stop
circuits, safety relays per common industrial practices Production
Line Integration Capabilities This casepacker integrates seamlessly
downstream of rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling equipment,
accepting product from existing conveyors and delivering packed cases
to palletizing or stretch-wrapping. It supports multi-format bottle
and can handling with change parts, enabling quick transitions across
water, juice, beer, or wine lines and other industrial packaging
applications. Upstream compatibility with depalletizing, rinsing,
filling, capping, and labeling systems Downstream compatibility with
checkweighers, case sealers, palletizers, and warehouse logistics
Format changes supported via recipe recall and mechanical change parts
(as supplied) Machine Condition & Maintenance History The unit is
currently in storage and presented as a second hand machine. Overall
condition reflects careful handling, with safety features included and
manuals available to facilitate recommissioning. As with any pre-owned
industrial packaging system, a site inspection and test under power
are recommended to confirm current status, verify available change
parts, and plan preventive maintenance before integration into
beverage production. Operational Performance & Versatility Engineered
for stable, repeatable case loading, the Somic KA supports a broad
range of primary containers and beverage SKUs. Its single-socket
loading concept promotes precise U6354234 placement to minimize
scuffing on glass bottles and aluminum cans while maintaining
throughput. Whether packing PET for water, glass for wine and beer, or
aluminum for juice and RTD beverages, the monoblock delivers
dependable performance across varied formats within a used bottling
line. Handles PET, glass, and aluminum containers with appropriate
collation and guides Suitable for water, juice, beer, wine, and
similar beverage production products Monoblock footprint reduces
conveyor interfaces and simplifies line layouts Installation
Requirements & Site Preparation To ensure smooth commissioning, plan
for a level floor, adequate access for maintenance, and integration
points with existing conveyors and case handling. Utilities should be
prepared according to the Somic manual. Space/footprint: Compact
monoblock design; allocate clearance for guarding and service access
Electrical: Industrial three-phase power; supply characteristics as
per documentation Pneumatics: Clean, dry compressed air for actuators;
connection size and pressure per manual Vacuum (if applicable):
Depending on pickup tooling requirements Conveyors: Infeed/outfeed
interface tailored to upstream filling/labeling and downstream
palletizing Safety Standards & Compliance Certification The machine is
equipped with standard industrial safety provisions, including fixed
and interlocked guards, emergency stops at strategic positions, and
clearly marked operator zones. Manuals provide detailed instructions
for safe op
