Tray Erector Model 3K2
Versatile Machine for Erecting and Gluing Corrugated Boxes with Customizable Formats
Prepac 3k is a machine designed for erecting and gluing open corrugated cardboard boxes, with or without stacking tabs. The machine is customized for erecting a specific box format, but can be reconfigured for a wide range of box constructions and formats.
The erecting unit’s sheet magazine is top-mounted and holds a stack of sheets approximately 400mm high. The sheet is pulled down and fed, with the long side leading, under the plunger while glue beads are applied by the machine’s hot melt system. The sheet is erected and the glue is pressed when the plunger passes through the forming tools.
An optional freestanding, motorized outfeed conveyor is available, which can be used in three directions and is easy to adapt to other equipment.
The machine’s movements are powered by pneumatic and electric drives, controlled and monitored by a Mitsubishi PLC.
