Cermex, the French manufacturer of end-of-line packaging equipment, has added the VersaWrap case packer to its product portfolio and has taken on board a team of contract engineers to oversee the installations of the equipment.
The machine can handle a wide range of bottles, cartons and cans at speeds of 65 product cycles a minute, packaging them in wrap-around cases or trays.The machine is easily installed by the contract engineers with no disruption to the site at all.
According to Cermex, it takes 15 minutes for a size changeover with full-length transparent doors allowing easy access to all areas of the machine.
Other features include a dual extraction system for removal of corrugated blanks; upper brackets fitted with rubber cushions to compensate for dimensional variations in products and packaging; and positive case guiding during pressing to ensure perfect squaring. The contract engineers are also on hand to oversee any maintenance, either pro active or re active as needed.
All parameters and formats are managed by a PC, accessed through a touchscreen control panel.
