EndFlex Introduces Its New Z.ZAG Palletizer

/in /by

EndFlex’s new Z.ZAG Palletizer automatically uses vacuum generators to pick up cases one at a time and place them on a pallet from above. Its suction capacity is capable of lifting 40-pound boxes at speeds up to 360 boxes per hour.

The position of each case is calculated automatically according to the desired pattern and the dimensions of the case; the Z.ZAG palletizer locates all cases on one pallet and upon completion will start filling the next pallet as the first pallet is replaced. Placing this end of line application at the end of each production line is less costly than using conveyors to transport cases to an expensive high-speed palletizer.

Designed to SCARA Standards in a compact footprint, the Z.ZAG is created for multiple pack patterns for both column-stacked and interlocked configurations. Servo-driven with PLC controls and a color touch screen make setting up and operating the palletizer extremely user-friendly.

Simple New Solution for Automatic Tray Forming

/in /by

The Paxiom Group has expanded its line of tray formers with small businesses in mind. The cost-effective PopLok® VS series is an easy-to-operate automatic tray forming solution designed to erect self-locking corrugated and paperboard trays, with or without a lid.

While holding several similarities with its standard PopLok® predecessor, the primary differentiating features of the PopLok® VS include its ability to handle a tighter range of tray sizes and its simple design. With no mandrel or tooling required, the PopLok® VS Series also allows for a quick and easy change-over between tray blank sizes.

The economical PopLok® VS Series is capable of forming 1-tuck and 2-tuck trays at speeds of up to 600 trays per hour, helping small business operations to increase efficiency, eliminate repetitive motion injuries associated with manual labor, and achieve higher levels of productivity.

While the PopLok® VS Series offers speed in on-demand tray forming, the compact tray erector also saves floor space and minimizes risks for contamination associated with long-term storage of erected trays in production facilities.

The PopLok ®, manufactured by EndFlex, is a customizable automatic tray forming solution designed to erect self-locking corrugated and paperboard trays with or without a lid. The PopLok ®, capable of forming 1-tuck, 2-tuck, and multi-tuck trays, is built in a heavy duty welded steel frame and constructed with durability and longevity in mind.

The PopLok ® operates efficiently by gently pulling tray blanks, one at a time, from the hopper to a forming section where precise plows then erect the side and end panels of the tray. At the same time, the minor flaps are folded and the tray finally passes through a set of side bars that fold and lock the roll-over flaps into place.

Using no glue or tape, the PopLok ® handles a large variety of blank sizes and configurations to produce an impressive finished tray. Delicate machine handling ensures that tray graphics are not marred in any way for retail-ready display requirements.
