Compact Partition Inserter Uses New Servo Technology to Ensure Precision and Highspeed Operation



Beverage processors who buy bulk bottles need speed and flexibility for their packaging lines, and A-B-C's partition inserter at http://www.abcpackaging.com fills the need with new servo technology that ensures precise partition placement at high speeds, and "intelligent control" that provides touchscreen changeover for different partitions and case sizes. The Model 70 automatically opens and inserts lightweight chipboard or corrugated partitions into RSC, HSC, and Tablock cases at speeds to 35 cases per minute in a two-step sequence- indexing and opening the partition in one stroke, then inserting it through guide funnels into the case in the second stroke- while maintaining positive control of both the case and partition through all stages for optimum productivity.

The compact size and in-line design allow this machine to be easily installed between the case erector and packer on an existing packaging line. Machine setup and changeover, operating reports, and production statistics are easily accessed at the control station.

High productivity is ensured with the exclusive design that retains positive control of the case and partition through all stages...partition feed, opening, case indexing, and partition inserting. In addition, this new partition inserter design offers several features to ensure reliable performance: a case indexer feeds cases independently to prevent misalignment from back-pressure; a mechanical case positioning device ensures precise case location below the partition guide funnels; active funnels guide the partition into the case.

The versatile Model 70 is fully adjustable to run full height and shoulder height partitions with 6, 12, 24, or 48 cells. Settings for machine set up and changeover are quickly accessed through the touch screen control center.
