New case packer expands proseal ’ s food packing solutions

Tray sealing specialist Proseal has extended its product portfolio with the launch of a high-speed fully automatic case packing system .
The new patent pending Proseal CP3™ provides the ideal complement to Proseal ’ s extensive range of tray sealing machines to offer customers a complete primary and transit packing solution . The case packer combines efficient power consumption and a compact footprint with the ability to fill cases at up to 120 packs per minute .
Key to the CP3 ’ s exceptional performance is Proseal ’ s proven ProMotion tray infeed system . This maximises throughput by using following motion and intelligent buffering technology to effectively control the flow of trays , enabling them to feed continuously in the case packer without stopping .
The CP3 can handle a wide variety of pack formats , including trays , pots and sandwich packs , in materials such as A-PET , C-PET and board . Auto tool technology enables fast and easy format changes , while Quick Release ( QR ) conveyors allow swift removal and replacement to speed up and simplify cleaning and maintenance .
The new case packer features the same high levels of construction and durability as Proseal ’ s market-leading tray sealers and incorporates many of their advanced features . These include the ProTect™ user login and audit trail security system , which provides different levels of authorisation access for individual personnel , and full compatibility with the ProVision™ OEE and downtime analyser that delivers a comprehensive real time view of machine performance . Set up and daily operation are simplified thanks to the user-friendly menu-driven control panel with step-by-step prompts , error and status displays , and batch pack counter .
Options include additional crate fill and increased length of buffering conveyor for higher speeds . Crate delivery and discharge conveyors can be bespoke designed to individual factory layouts and the CP3 can be fully integrated with complementary equipment such as case erectors , existing create delivery systems , labellers and coders .
