Semi-Automatic Case Erector Cuts Costs
Little David Case Study
Product:
SP-304 Bottom Only / Semi-Automatic Case Erector / Case Former (Operator-Fed)
Case Presented:
We were invited by Professional Packaging Systems - Grand Prairie, Texas to visit a local snack food manufacturer who was interested in reducing labor costs while increasing production efficiencies. Manufacturer employed two individuals to hand erect boxes. It would take two employees 1 hour and 20 minutes to manually form 250 boxes.
Results:
After an onsite demonstration of the SP-304 BO, the manufacturer identified the obvious return on investment this case erector/former would provide.
The purchase of the SP-304 BO case former has resulted in:
- Cutting labor costs by 50%
- Increasing productivity by 75% with 250 cases erected in less than 20 minutes
