This system was specifically designed to handle bottom and lid designs.
It is perfect to pack: furniture in kits/disassembled furniture, assembled units (bottom and lid form additional protections on the sides of the unit), big doors, mattresses, filters and radiators for the automotive sector.
This system can be customized to a high extent, as the bottom and lid formats do not require a standard procedure for forming and closing and the box design is always adapted to the specific needs of the customer.
Working Stations
1 Product Prep 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.
5 Coupling of Box & Item
The operator positions the item by hand into the box previously formed with the forming station FM410. If this process is automated, a handling robot positions the item on top of the flat box.
