How Can a Case Sealer Improve Your Productivity?
What kind of case sealer are you looking for?
A carton sealing machine is an automated machine that applies adhesive tape to a box in order to close it. It seals the top and bottom flaps of cardboard boxes and can be used for boxes of both uniform and varying sizes.
Depending on the speed of your production line, you can choose a semi-automatic case sealer, where the operator folds the box flaps and feeds the box into the sealing machine, or a fully automatic case sealer that requires no manual handling1. Our automatic carton sealer machines can seal up to 57 boxes per minute. Here are the many benefits associated with their use:
Speed and Efficiency:
An automatic box taping machine eliminates manual labor and significantly increases the productivity of your packaging operations. It improves sealing speed, consistency, worker safety, and overall operational efficiency, which results in cost savings and enhanced customer satisfaction.
McKinsey reports that companies adopting automation can increase their productivity by 30% in just a few years. For example, "a study by the World Economic Forum found that companies that adopted automation saw an average reduction of 20-25% in their operational costs within the first two years of implementation.2
Labor Savings:
The cost of this type of machine is relatively low compared to labor costs, and its return on investment is very quick. "On average, a human can pack and seal about 2 boxes per minute with tape, whereas a manual machine can seal about 15 boxes per minute.3
Uniform and Secure Sealing:
Our case sealing machines guarantee uniform sealing, ensuring secure and reliable closures. "They feature a steel flap and an inline compression roller to ensure proper flap alignment before sealing4." This uniformity minimizes the risk of boxes opening during transport or storage while reducing the risk of product damage.
Flexibility:
Our machines can adapt to a wide range of box sizes. Adjustable settings allow for the customization of the sealing process to meet specific requirements, such as different heights, widths, or sealing patterns.
"One of the biggest challenges in packaging today is the increased need for flexibility and adaptability in terms of product customization and variety5." This adaptability is especially useful for businesses that need to handle products of varying sizes or changing packaging needs.
Integration with Packaging Lines:
Our carton sealers integrate seamlessly into existing packaging lines. They can be synchronized with conveyors, case erectors, labeling equipment, or other packaging machines. This integration eliminates bottlenecks and improves the overall efficiency of the packaging line.
