Case Packer

In industrial packaging automation, loading products into carton cases requires high speed, precision, and the flexibility to handle diverse packaging formats. The Automatic Case Packer provided by ETEK is a high-speed automation solution utilizing advanced robotic technology (Delta robots, 6-axis, 4-axis, or mechanical gantry mechanisms) to automatically pick and place products into carton cases at outstanding speeds up to 250 products per minute.

What is an Automatic Case Packer?

An Automatic Case Packer is a specialized automation machine that uses robotic end-effectors or mechanical gripping mechanisms to load packaged items (pouches, bags, cans, jars, boxes) into carton cases according to pre-programmed matrix patterns and counts.

Automated Operational Process:

• Product Infeed Conveyor: Receives packaged products from upstream equipment and accurately positions them at the pick-and-place station.
• Carton Synchronization: Erected carton cases delivered from an upstream case erector move into the designated loading position.
• Robotic Product Loading: Robotic arms equipped with customized end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) pick and stack products layer by layer into the carton case with high precision.
• Transfer to Case Sealer: Fully loaded cases automatically advance to the downstream tape or hot-melt glue case sealer.

Machine Applications

ETEK’s Case Packer features highly customizable end-of-arm tooling to accommodate various product types and industry applications:

Applicable Product Formats:

• Flexible pouches, zipper bags, small stick packs, coffee sachets, seasoning packets.
• Aluminum cans, tin cans, powdered milk cans, paper boxes, plastic/glass jars.

Applicable Industries:

• Food & Beverage (F&B): Case packing seasoning sachets, confectionery boxes, powdered milk cans, and sauce jars.
• Consumer Goods & Personal Care: Case packing convenient small pouch formats, shampoo sachets, toothpaste tubes, and cosmetics.

Technical Specifications

Key Advantages

• Ultra-High-Speed Picking (Up to 250 pcs/min): Dual high-speed Delta robots maximize packing throughput, perfectly matching high-capacity packaging lines.
• Versatile Robotic Options: Flexible choice between Delta robots (ideal for stick packs and small sachets) or 6-axis robots (suited for heavy cans and rigid boxes).
• Smart End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT): Fully customizable grippers—utilizing vacuum suction cups for smooth, flat surfaces or mechanical grippers for uneven, irregular items.
• Reliable Operational Efficiency (99%): Ultra-low defect rate (NG ≤ 1%) ensures smooth, continuous line operation without bottlenecking.
• Modular & Easy Integration: Connects seamlessly inline with upstream case erectors and downstream case sealers.
• User-Friendly HMI/PLC Interface: Intuitive multi-language touchscreen (Vietnamese/English) simplifies parameter configuration and quick product changeovers.

Business Benefits

• Eliminates Manual Labor Overhead: Reduces 3–5 manual case-loading operators per production shift.
• Protects Product Aesthetics: Precise robotic gripping force prevents crushed boxes, torn pouches, or scratched surfaces.
• Optimized Floor Space: Compact 3.8m × 1.8m frame design enables easy installation even within tight factory footprints.
• Enhances Market Competitiveness: Guarantees every outbound case is stacked strictly according to export-grade matrix and quantity specifications.
