Model 360 Bottle Unpacker and Packer performs both uncasing and case packing with every motion of the servo-operated robotic-style transfer head. It eliminates manual labor, provides gentle handling, and ensures a consistent bottle feed to the production line–at a conservative cost.
The cases filled with empty bottles are fed on a conveyor to the Model 360. Then the unpacking head grips and lifts the empty bottles and places them on the conveyor to be transferred to filling, while the packing head picks up and packs finished bottles feeding from the production line into the emptied case. The servo-operated transfer head smoothly and efficiently carries containers with no drop and keeps them under complete control during operation—bottles are released only when they reach the bottom of the case during packing, or the conveyor for unpacking.
