This system was specifically designed to handle the boxes F410 or similar (e.g. 427, 411, etc.), with longitudinal as well as front and back flaps to be closed on the outside of the box.
It is ideal to pack: furniture in kits or disassembled furniture, doors, windows, shower cubicles, radiators, panels, etc. and all other items low in height but extremely flexible in length and width.
According to the boxes to be processed, the system usually features two main stations, which provide for the perfect forming and closing of the box:
1) FORMING STATION FM410
2) CLOSING STATION CM410S / VARYPACK
Due to the high level of customization of the different units that can be implemented, it is possible to reach production rates of up to 10 parcels/min.
Working Stations
1 Product Preparation Station
Area in which the loose items are prepared by an operator. In this area also transport protections may be applied if required.
2 Measuring Station
The items are measured automatically or by hand and the data is then submitted to the packaging machine to launch production of the right sized box.
3 Box Procurement
The Panotec packaging machine produces the right-sized boxes. If the production process requires large batches, the boxes can be supplied by a box manufacturer and stored on pallets/racks next to coupling station run by an operator.
4 Box Forming
Area in which the bottom of the boxes is formed automatically, mainly for box designs F410, F401 or bottom and lid designs. An operator must be assigned to form the box manually if this section is not automated.
