Automatic tray former MTE-1200 Series

Master MTE Series Automatic Tray Former The Master MTE-1200 Series automatic tray erects a "fold and tuck" tray at a rate or 20 per minute. The system works on demand and not only eliminates repetitive hand motions, but also saves space and increases efficiency in almost any production or distribution environment. This flexible system is easy to adjust between sizes and will erect trays with strong stacking support. Ideal for bakery applications, telescoping trays, credit cards and small hardware trays using fluted corrugated or chipboard. The MTE-1200 is manufactured in the USA in accordance with ARPAC’s Lean Manufacturing Process (AM2) to ensure quality, performance and value. Mode of Operation The system has a gravity magazine in which adjustable side guides hold a stack of up to 150 trays at a time. A pneumatically activated vacuum system pulls one tray at a time. As the tray is pulled down, it engages a series of plows erecting it. At the bottom station both side major flaps are folded 90 degrees. A pneumatic actuated pusher moves the tray to the secondary station where the flaps are positively tucked using ARPAC’s unique dual motion closing system.
