Deciding on a Case Erector

Deciding on a Case Erector

Case erectors, sometimes called case formers, are used to either automatically or semi-automatically erect corrugated boxes. Case erectors can save time & money, improve throughput, provide consistently formed boxes and reduce labor cost. If you are using over 500 boxes a day or dedicating a full labor shift to manually erect boxes, then you will probably benefit from a case erector.

There are a few factors to consider when purchasing a case erector. The most important is how many boxes per minute can the machine erect and what are the sizes and types of boxes.

For high volume boxing applications, a fully automatic case erector can form, fold, and bottom seal RSC corrugated cases at speeds up to 20 cases per minute.

For lower volumes, a semi automatic case sealer may be a better choice. To help you decide which type of erector is best, to talk to a packaging engineer to help decide which machine is best for your needs.

Case forming and erecting machines automatically construct corrugated boxes. Both case formers and erectors will take a flat cardboard box and automatically form it to be packed. It will square up a box, then seal the bottom and make it ready to be packaged. Case erectors will always outperform somebody doing it manually, which will lead to lower labor costs and improve packaging efficiency.
