ABC Model 450
Adhesive Case Erector
For high speed case erecting, choose the Model 450
case erector and sealer. This case former runs up to 55
cases per minute, providing square, well-sealed cases to
high speed lines. Packed inside its compact frame is a
workhorse machine, with a hefty 3 hp main drive motor
that powers cases through erecting and sealing. With an
easy-load case magazine, non-stop servo-controlled
case sealing ram, computer-driven operation with
touchscreen controls, this case erector is the top choice
for speed, durability and reliability.
Large Capacity, Easy Load Case Magazine
The self-indexing case magazine assures a continuous case supply to the
erector. As each stack is used, another moves into position maximizing
time between refills. The ergonomic design of the low level design makes
it easy to refill without lifting and raising cases.
Servo-powered Sealing Ram Forms Square Cases
As each case travels through the sealing station, the servo motor-
powered sealing ram smoothly and reliably compresses the flaps to
ensure a secure seal. Cases do not stop- the sealing ram moves with the
case to ensure a secure seal, then cycles back to enter the next case as
it approaches. The ram stroke is precisely controlled by the servo motor,
ensuring optimum precision during high speed production runs for high
speed case erecting.
A-B-C Intelligent Control Ensures Precise Operation
Intelligent Control takes PLC logic one step further, to provide unprecedented
control of line performance. Closed loop position feedback ensures precise timing
of each operating sequence, utilizing non-contact sensors to provide input. The
touch screen display provides real-time operating data, and allows independent
operation of all functions, diagnostics, and changeover settings.
High Speed
Case Feed Designed for Reliable Transfer of Every Case
This case erector has self-adjusting, spring-loaded grippers that assure
proper case feed from uneven stacks of warped or band-marked cases.
Their unique "floating" design allows them to operate independently to
grip each case firmly and provide a consistent and reliable case feed.
Cases feed into position at the opening station.
Reliable case erecting mechanism
Production-proven since 1990, A-B-C's cam-operated vacuum
pullback case opener design is superior in running less-than-
perfect corrugated. This method utilizes dual vacuum grippers-
lower grippers provide solid compression to hold the case firmly
while the upper grippers pull the case open. The case flaps are
lifted to a slightly over-opened position to ensure smooth inner flap
folding.
