Wrap-around case packer Dimac Starwrap

automaticcartonhot-melt glue

Wrap-around case packers for medium-speed productions Starwrap machines are created to form complete cartons from flat blanks. The Starwrap is a machine with input and output placed on two levels. Cartons are formed when the product is lowered through a plate controlled by a mechanical cam. This system is composed of a metal conveyor mesh that guarantees the execution of the configuration required through a start/stop system. An upper pneumatic press stabilises the product in the post-separation stage. Blanks are picked up from the feeder by an arm with suction caps equipped with vacuum generators. After, the blanks are placed inside guides and transported below the product. An alternated-progress compartment conveyor transfers the cartons to the formation stages, that are: folding of the inner flaps, distribution of the hot-melt glue, folding of the upper part and losing of the external flaps.
