BW Integrated Systems’ WP 100 Wraparound Casing System is a fully automatic system for packing product into a wraparound case or open top tray. The design of the WP 100 is very flexible and can handle many applications including cartons, tubs, and bottles. A very small footprint and speeds up to 25 cases per minute are achieved through compact movements and servo motion control.
Product is fed into the machine in a specified number of lanes, determined by the pack pattern. A servo operated pick head will then grip the product on the infeed conveyor and move it to the case or tray blank, which has been staged from a magazine. A servo operated elevator plate pulls the blank and product down, while folding up the side walls and the filled case is then transferred horizontally past glue applicators and is stopped at a compression section where case sealing is completed.
