CASE ERECTORS DESIGNED TO PERFORM

The flat case blank stands vertically in the easy to load, walk-in magazine. The case blank is extracted from the magazine with vacuum cups and formed by a retracting squaring arm. The leading minor flap is folded using a pneumatic flap folding mechanism. The major flaps are folded up using a rotary actuator powered flap folding mechanism. The case is transferred into the dual belt drives where it is transported across the tape head and is bottom sealed with a 2" wide strip of pressure sensitive tape.
