Tray packer

  • for collating, grouping and packaging products
    in open cases and trays

Tray packers are put together using modules from the SOMIC 424 mechatronic programme according to the customer's packaging requirements.

The tray packer can be equipped with individual format tools for varying product dimensions and case models. This allows unlimited flexibility within the format range, which is why every SOMIC 424 machine is so distinctive.

Sequence of functions:

The pre-packed products are fed into the machine individually and grouped into one case. Handling a wide variety of pre-packed products places high demands on the system. They are collated individually in rows, layers and complete groups.

The folding head holds the group in shape and positions it on the flat tray blank. The blank is folded around the entire product group and the folding head and glued with hot melt adhesive. The closed folding head ensures that the case is always precisely folded and glued.

The key factor here is that we are not dependent on the product so that its attractiveness at the point of sale is in no way impaired.
