The MCP-61 brings case erecting, side loading and taping together in one machine. It takes product from the production line, groups it for the required case arrangement, loads the case from the side and sends out a taped case ready for the next handling stage.
How the MCP-61 fits into a line
The machine includes an automatic case erector. Product arrives from the upstream line, while flat cases are erected and presented for loading. Once the product is packed, the case is taped and discharged towards downstream conveying or pallet handling.
We design the infeed and product grouping around what you make and how many items need to go into each case. The case packer must also work at a practical rate with the machines before and after it.
Capacity and case format
The published capacity is up to 35 cases per minute. The achievable rate for your application depends on the product, packing pattern, case dimensions and line configuration. We assess these together before proposing a machine.
The published maximum case size is 500 × 350 × 300 mm. If you run several products or case formats, tell us the full range so changeover requirements can be considered in the design.
Is side loading right for your product?
Side loading can suit a line where case erecting, product loading and taping need to be integrated. The best approach still depends on how your product can be grouped and handled. If loading from above is more suitable, compare our TCP-6 and TCP-6D top load case packers.
To discuss the MCP-61, send us the product and case dimensions, the number of products per case, your target cases per minute and a photo or layout of the existing line. We can then review the infeed, case handling and available floor space with you.
