How Do Case Erectors Work?

Case erectors are used to create cases. They do this by using vacuum cups to erec the case and seal the bottom. The case is then ready to be filled with product, sealed, and sent on to palletizing. The machine produces three times the output of a worker and creates nearly perfect cases every time.

Let’s go through a few steps on how case erectors work.

Step One: Place the case board into the case erector.

First, the case is placed into the hopper of the case erector. The case will be erected with vacuum cups and sealed together with either hot melt glue or tape.

Step Two: Move case boards into place.

After the case is in place, clamps around it open to allow for more case boards to fit inside of them. The case boards are moved into place by a conveyor belt that rotates the case boxes as they move down the line.

Step Three: Close clamps and glue case boards together.

The clamps will then close, and the case boards will be glued together to create a sturdy case box.

Step Four: Remove cases from the case erector.

Finally, the case exits the case erector by an out feed conveyor that continues down the packaging line.
