Endoline has said that its 248 fully automatic case erector will be headlining at its stand at the Total show. 

Designed specifically to handle SRPs, the 248 is a high speed, servo driven machine incorporating a gluing system to seal the bottom of each case as it is formed.

The use of glue is essential with SRPs as tape interferes with the functionality of the cases at the retailer, but it also supports the higher running speeds made possible by the use of servos while significantly reducing the cost of consumables by eliminating the need for tape.

The 248 incorporates Endoline’s signature dual opposing vacuum case opener and a top hopper which results in an extremely compact footprint enabling the 248 to be installed as an upgrade in space constrained packing halls as well as in state of the art new production sites.

Other items from the Endoline range will be on show, at Birmingham’s NEC, including a case packing module and a fully automatic random case sealer.

“A well know multinational food producer recently informed Endoline that it will be looking for an incremental increase in productivity in the order of 25% for its next generation production facilities,” remarks Simon Taylor, Endoline’s Sales & Marketing Director.

“The innovative use of technology and close cooperation with customers, suppliers and board manufacturers has helped us to dramatically raise the bar in terms of achievable production speeds for packaging machines. Endoline is well placed to meet this challenge with its new generation machinery – we are very excited to be demonstrating these machines at Total this year,” Simon adds.
