Square cases pack better, stack better, and protect better. They provide the structural integrity to deliver the performance their designer intended.
Fact: cases lose 30% of their stacking strength if their sides are not aligned.
There are barriers to erecting square cases. Thinner corrugated, temperature and humidity changes, and variations in case blanks can cause cases to be “unsquared” or lead to machine jams. Lantech Case Erectors overcome these barriers through precise case management and 100% control of cases throughout the entire erecting process, ensuring your cases perform as designed and are produced with maximum efficiency.
From the moment a blank enters the magazine until it exits the case erector as a properly formed and bottom sealed case, it is under complete control. A unique pickup frame pulls the case from the magazine and forces it to open so it is square. The flaps are folded before the case moves, making it rigid and locking in its “squareness.” A pusher bar, parallel to the rear wall, delivers it to spring-loaded side belts, which move in or out to compensate for variations in width, and carry it over the sealing device.
