Automatic Case Sealers & Case Sealing Machines
E&B supplies automatic case sealing machinery for manufacturers looking to automate the final closing stage of the case packing process.
What is an Automatic Case Sealer?
Available for glue or tape closure, case sealers can be integrated with automatic case erectors and case packers to create a consistent end-of-line packaging process. E&B supplies case sealing technology from F.A.M.S as part of its wider end-of-line automation portfolio.
A case sealer automatically closes filled corrugated cases before they move to storage, palletising or distribution. Once products have been loaded, the machine controls the case flaps and applies the required sealing method. This removes the need for operators to manually close every case while providing a more consistent finished pack.
Glue or Tape Case Sealing
Hot-Melt Glue Case Sealers
Hot-melt adhesive is applied to the appropriate surfaces before the case flaps are closed and secured. This can provide a clean, secure closure for applications suited to adhesive sealing.
Tape Case Sealers
Tape sealing automatically applies packaging tape to close the case. The correct option depends on the case construction, required security, production process and end-use requirements.
Why Automate Case Sealing?
Increase End-of-Line Efficiency
Automatic sealing allows cases to move continuously through the packaging process.
Reduce Manual Handling
Operators no longer need to manually fold and tape or glue every finished case.
Consistent Closure
Automated control helps create repeatable case closure throughout production.
Support Higher Throughput
Automated sealing can prevent manual case closing from restricting an otherwise automated production line.
Integrate with Existing Equipment
Case sealers can be introduced downstream from manual or automated case packing.
Case Sealers as Part of an Automated Packing Line
Case sealing is often one part of a wider end-of-line process:
Individual stages can be automated independently or combined into a more integrated solution. This allows manufacturers to introduce automation according to the requirements and constraints of their existing production line.
F.A.M.S Case Sealing Solutions
F.A.M.S specialises in case erectors, case packers, case sealers and other end-of-line packaging technology for sectors including food, drinks, home care, personal care and pharmaceuticals. E&B can work with F.A.M.S to specify case sealing equipment around your case formats, sealing requirements and production speeds.
Integrating Case Sealing with Case Erecting & Packing
For businesses seeking greater automation, case sealing can be connected directly with:
This creates a more controlled flow from finished primary product through to palletised goods.
Choosing the Right Case Sealing Machine
E&B can assess these requirements before recommending the appropriate solution.
Why Choose E&B?
E&B can support case sealing as either an individual automation project or part of a wider end-of-line system. By working with specialist manufacturers such as F.A.M.S, our team can help ensure the sealing equipment is selected around the case, production process and surrounding machinery.
