Semi & Fully Automatic Case Erectors

Designed for continuous, high throughput packaging lines

What Is a Case Erector? The first critical machine in a packaging line

At Klippenstein Corporation, a case erector is not just a machine, it is the starting point of a stable, high performing packaging line. Our case erectors automatically draw corrugated cases from a hopper, erect, square, and seal the bottom so they are ready for filling, closing, and palletizing. We continuously invest in the latest packaging technology to deliver state of the art equipment that improves throughput, reduces labor, and ensures consistent case quality across every shift.

Standardized platforms with customization built in Klippenstein Case Erector Capabilities

Klippenstein specializes in Case Formers, Case Erectors, and Case Sealers, offering a robust line of standardized machines that can be customized for special projects and unique applications. Our case erectors are engineered to support a wide range of case sizes, production speeds, and facility layouts.

Our equipment has been successfully deployed in operations handling walnuts and other nuts, dairy and bottled water, small and large appliances, automotive components, and paper goods. Each system is configured around real production requirements, not generic assumptions.

Every Klippenstein case erector follows a proven mechanical process designed for long term performance and consistent results.

Step 1: Flat Case Loading

Flat corrugated cases are loaded into a vertical or horizontal hopper, depending on model, allowing continuous operation with minimal operator involvement.
^

Step 2: Case Opening and Squaring

Vacuum cups open the blank while guides and clamps square the case precisely, ensuring proper alignment before sealing.
^

Step 3: Bottom Sealing

Cases are sealed using either hot melt adhesive or pressure sensitive tape, selected based on case style, load weight, and line requirements.
^

Step 4: Discharge to the Line

Finished cases exit via the discharge conveyor and flow directly into filling, sealing, or palletizing systems without interruption.

Purpose-built machines for different speeds, cases, and layouts Klippenstein Case Erector Lineup

Klippenstein offers a full range of case erector solutions to match different production needs, including fully automatic and Robotic configurations. Options are available to support varying case sizes, weights, line speeds, and levels of automation across packaging operations.

Practical capabilities that support real production environments Key Features of Klippenstein Case Erectors

When evaluating a case erector, understanding the features that impact productivity and reliability is essential. Klippenstein case erectors are designed with features that directly support efficient packaging operations.

Automatic Case Erection

Our automatic case erectors use high-capacity hoppers that allow operators to load large stacks of flat cases at once. This reduces manual handling, allows operators to focus on other tasks, and enables higher output with consistent case quality.
