Automatic Case Packers & Case Packing Machines

E&B supplies automatic case packing machinery for manufacturers looking to automate the process of loading finished products into cases ready for storage, transport or distribution.

What is a Case Packing Machine?

Our F.A.M.S case packing solutions can handle bottles, jars, cans, plastic containers, cartons, pouches, bags and other packaged products, with systems available for top, side and bottom loading.

Solutions include robotic and mechanical case packers, pick-and-place technology and standalone or monoblock configurations.

A case packer automatically groups, arranges and loads finished products into an outer case. Depending on the application, products may need to be collated into a particular pack pattern before being placed or transferred into the case. Automating this process can increase throughput, reduce repetitive manual handling and provide greater consistency in the way products are prepared for distribution.

Top, Side or Bottom Load Case Packing

Different products require different handling methods.

Top Load Case Packers

Products are loaded vertically into an open case from above. Top loading is particularly useful where products can be picked and placed into a defined arrangement.

Side Load Case Packers

Products are grouped and introduced horizontally through the side of the case. This can provide an effective solution for products that need to maintain a particular orientation.

Bottom Load Case Packers

Products are introduced into the case using a bottom-loading process where this provides the most appropriate handling solution for the product and pack format. E&B can help identify which approach is most appropriate for your application.

Robotic and Mechanical Case Packers

Robotic Case Packers

Robotic case packing provides flexibility where manufacturers need to accommodate different products, case sizes or pack patterns. Robots can pick, orientate and position products into the required case configuration and can be particularly useful on lines handling multiple SKUs.

Mechanical Case Packers

Mechanical case packing provides an alternative for applications where products and pack patterns are more consistent. For suitable high-volume production lines, mechanical handling can provide a fast, reliable and efficient packing process. The correct choice between robotic and mechanical technology depends on throughput, product mix, format changes and the level of flexibility required.

Pick-and-Place Case Packing. Pick-and-place systems allow products to be automatically collected and accurately positioned into cases. This can be useful where:

What Products Can Automatic Case Packers Handle?

Applications can include:

The machine configuration is selected according to the product, case format and production requirements.

Case Packers from F.A.M.S

E&B works with Italian manufacturer F.A.M.S, which specialises in end-of-line packaging automation for sectors including food, drinks, home care, personal care and pharmaceuticals. Systems can be tailored around different case sizes, pack configurations and production speeds.

Integrating Case Packing into Your Production Line

Automatic case packing can connect with:

This allows case packing to become part of a connected process rather than an isolated operation.

Choosing the Right Case Packer

Consider:

Why Choose E&B?

E&B can assess the product, case and wider packaging process before working with F.A.M.S to identify an appropriate case packing solution. From individual case packers to complete automated end-of-line systems, our team can support machinery selection, integration, installation and ongoing technical requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What does a case packer do?

A case packer automatically loads finished products into outer cases ready for distribution.

What is a robotic case packer?

A robotic case packer uses robotic handling to pick and place products into cases according to a defined pack pattern.

What's the difference between top and side load case packing?

Top-load systems place products into cases from above. Side-load systems insert products horizontally through the side.

Can one case packer handle multiple products?

Depending on the equipment, automated format changes and robotic handling can provide flexibility across different products and pack patterns.

Can case packers integrate with palletisers?

Yes. Packed and sealed cases can be automatically conveyed directly to downstream palletising systems.
