Top Loader / Insertion packer

  • for filling empty trays, cases or plastic boxes
    with individual products, entire layers or complete product groupings

Top loaders / Insertion packers are composed of modules from the SOMIC 424 mechatronic programme according to the customer's packaging requirements.

The SOMIC 424 EP top loader / insertion 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.
