Eastey, a manufacturer of shrink packaging equipment, automated case erectors, tapers, and material handling solutions, has released the SB-2EX Auto side belt case taper, an automatic uniform side belt case taper designed to close all four top case flaps and seal the top and bottom of each case.
The SB-2EX Auto features an adjustable plow system that provides the utmost flexibility for varying carton sealing applications and provides a great alternative to hand taping. The SB-2EX Auto will seal up to 20 cases per minute. The SB-2EX Auto will accept cartons from a powered conveyor and automatically close the top carton flaps. A rugged stainless steel plow folds down the front panel, while a rear kicker folds down the trailing minor flap before the major flaps are folded. The SB-2EX Auto automatically meters cartons with a photo eye-controlled drop conveyor gating system. Top squeezing rollers help keep the major flaps together while keeping the carton square before tape application.
