EndFlex LLC, a full-service global provider of custom end-of-line packaging announces the ability to place and glue seal the lid on large pre-built trays loaded with furniture parts.

The system is designed to place a lid on top of formed trays, each weighing up to 150lbs, which are in turn fed into the packager. Hot glue is then applied to the sides of the tray and the lid is secured as the finished sealed tray exits the machine.

Other notable features include Venturi vacuum technology, a servo-driven feeding mechanism, a powered roller tray conveyor, an Auto-idler, an Omron PLC, user-friendly HMI, and the Nordson glue system.

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.

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.

Forming Unique Trays for Auto Parts, Hardware and Componentry

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.
