Case Packing Station

Combi America's new Ergopack hand pack station combines a case erector, pack-station and sealer into a compact and cost-effective workcell, freeing the operator from erecting, placing and sealing cases by hand. The Ergopack is available in one or two operator configurations and is adaptable to a wide range of products. The ergonomically designed system erects and indexes a case to the operator at an optimal position for handpacking. The operator(s) fills a case, actuates an optical sensor, and the case indexes to a top and bottom taper; the operator never has to touch the case. The Ergopack features a variable-speed product infeed conveyor, and a unique case indexing conveyor, which retains control of the unsealed case through the packing process. The Ergopack is especially useful for applications where product inspection is necessary. Originally designed for the meat packing industry, the Ergopack also is available with stainless NEMA 4x compliant components.
