The TCP-6D uses two pick heads to take product from the production line and load it into cases from above. It can build the required arrays and layers, with packing recipes selected from the touch screen. We configure the product handling and case arrangement for your application.
When to choose the twin-head machine
The TCP-6D is designed for lines that need more top load capacity than the single-head TCP-6. Its published capacity is up to 20 cases per minute, compared with up to 10 for the TCP-6. The rate achievable on your line depends on the product, packing pattern, case format and equipment before and after the packer.
The twin-head arrangement also needs to fit your available space and the way product arrives from upstream. We consider the infeed, case supply and outfeed as part of the complete end-of-line layout.
Products, cases and changeovers
The TCP-6D can be configured for jars, bottles, cans and cartons. The pick heads and packing recipe need to suit the product dimensions, orientation and number of items in each case.
If you run several products or case sizes, give us the full range. We can then assess the required packing patterns and changeovers rather than designing around only one format.
Case supply and line integration
The machine can be planned with manual case supply or integrated with a case erector. Depending on your line, we can also consider downstream case sealing, inspection and pallet handling. The aim is for each stage to support the required output without creating a bottleneck.
Specifications
| Speed | Up to 20 cases per minute |

These are published machine specifications. We confirm the configuration and expected line rate against your products and cases.
Plan your application
Send us the product and case dimensions, the number and arrangement of products per case, your target cases per minute and a photo or layout of the existing line. Tell us whether you need manual or automatic case supply and what happens to the packed cases next.
For a lower rate in a smaller footprint, see the TCP-6 single-head case packer.
