Weighpack supplies box handling system 04 January 2016

Weighpack International (WPI Services B.V), a specialist in fastener inspection and packaging equipment, recently supplied a box handling system for short runs to OBO Bettermann in Switzerland.

Dutch-based Weighpack International points out that its flexible box handling system is able to erect, fill and close boxes from 50mm x 50mm x 40mm up to 200mm x 150mm x 150mm. Changeover from one size to another can be done quickly, with the capacity of the box handling system 12 – 15 boxes per minute. The machine can also be used for efficient short runs of 50 to 100 boxes.
The flat box system includes a magazine, which is available in different lengths and able to store up to 500 boxes. It also features a vibratory table in the box closing area that ensures the correct density in the box is achieved before the lid is closed. Labelling with barcoding can also be easily added on the filled box accumulation conveyor.
The box handling system can be connected to inspection machines, product counters or product weighing machines.
