USA – JBT’s Proseal has introduced an innovative solution to enhance the efficiency of its leading case packing equipment with the launch of the fully automated CDS Case De-Stacker in the USA.
Designed to streamline operations, the CDS Case De-Stacker automates the process of de-stacking cases and delivering them to a case packing machine, eliminating the need for repetitive manual handling and loading by operators.
Equipped with quick change tooling and a recipe-driven control system, the CDS Case De-Stacker accommodates cases made of both RPC and cardboard, regardless of standard sizes or orientation.
With changeover speeds matching the market-leading product in under a minute, the system ensures seamless transitions between different packaging requirements.
Capable of delivering up to 35 cases per minute, the CDS Case De-Stacker caters to single or multiple stacked cases, facilitating integration with manual packing lines and existing automated packaging equipment like the CP2, CP3, and CP4 case packing systems.
Moreover, the feed conveyor length is customizable to suit various applications, providing up to an hour of operation before requiring a reload.
Safety remains paramount, with the implementation of a muting light system to meet relevant safety standards. Muting sensors distinguish a stack of cases from operator presence in the area, mitigating the risk of injuries.
Furthermore, Proseal’s approach to spare parts sharing across its tray sealing, case packing, and de-stacker ranges enhances stock management efficiency, ensuring optimal machine performance, and minimizing downtime, interruptions, and costs.
Nick Severn, Product Line Manager for End of Line Solutions, emphasizes the company’s commitment to innovation and efficiency with the introduction of the CDS Case De-Stacker.
By automating the de-stacking process, Proseal not only complements its award-winning case packing equipment but also revolutionizes packaging efficiency while prioritizing operator safety.
Last year, Proseal expanded its Case Packing range with the introduction of the CP4 case packer, capable of packing up to 240 trays per minute in specific applications.
Engineered for easy integration into high-volume production lines, the CP4 case packer offers user-friendly operation and advanced features to optimize performance.
It is equipped with Proseal’s latest control system and is set to enable intuitive operation and real-time performance monitoring; as such, food producers can promptly address potential issues to increase productivity and reduce downtime.
Similarly, the machine’s quick-release tooling system is expected to cut down product changeover times to less than a minute. Quick-release conveyors are intended to enable easy belt maintenance.
