Problem: A national TV shopping network needed a fully-automatic case sealer that could handle 18 different case sizes, some stable and some unstable. They also had a high volume of pre-sealed cases and plastic totes traveling on the conveyors and they needed to be able to pass them through the case sealer without taping them.
Solution: Loveshaw was the only company that would create a machine to meet their range of needs: the LD16ASB/BB.
The LD16ASB/BB is a combination side-belt and bottom-belt machine. The added side belts ensure that the light, unstable cases are propelled through safely. When it’s time to send through the cases that don’t need to be sealed, they simply move the side belts apart, raise the top tape cartridge and remove the bottom cartridge. Only the bottom belts are utilized to pass the cases through.
The LD16ASB/BB runs about 20 cases per minute (based on 18” long case). This extremely versatile machine can be designed and constructed to a customer’s specific container range.
