Case Packer targets multi-product packaging operations.
August 14, 2009 -
Designed to pack rigid cases, bags, cartons, or trayed products, Model HVCP utilizes FANUC robotic arms with HMI to facilitate changeover and eliminate programming. System can orient product vertically, horizontally, or combination of both, with press of button. Positive case erection optimizes system tolerance to case variations, while open design allows access for jam recovery, and standard Ethernet port enables remote monitoring and diagnosis.

Schneider Packaging Introduces New HVCP Case Packer
BREWERTON, NY (August, 2009) -Schneider Packaging Equipment Company introduces the HVCP case packer, the ultimate in flexibility and rapid changeover for versatile case packing for cartoned products.
Schneider Packaging has created an innovative case packer that can orient product either vertically, horizontally, or a combination of both, with the press of a button, using one case packing machine.
The Schneider HVCP is perfect for packaging operations that have multiple products and multiple pack orientations that in the past would have required manual packaging or multiple machines or complex changeovers.
"This innovative solution is ideal for customers with multiple SKUs or short production runs," says Terry Zarnowski, sales and marketing director for Schneider. "The HVCP provides our customers with the flexibility and speed to adapt to their ever changing production needs with very high operating efficiency and lower manufacturing costs."
Product is collated into the proper pack pattern by a Fanuc robot, a second Fanuc robot picks and places the collated product into an erected case. After loading, the carton indexes through the flap folding and sealing stations and is sealed. The fully sealed and completed case is discharged from the machine onto the customer's takeaway conveyor. Simultaneous operations including case erecting, accumulation, case loading and case sealing are ongoing during operation.
The HVCP integrates design features that enhance operational efficiency and throughput; Positive case erection improves system tolerance to case variations; Open design allows easy access for rapid jam recovery and simplifies maintenance; Flexible tooling and smart software minimize product changeover downtime; Robotic accumulation replaces traditional complex mechanical accumulation methods further improving efficiency and longevity. This built-in versatility accommodates changing production requirements and has the flexibility to meet future needs.
The machine's small footprint reduces floor space requirements while retaining all the rugged durability that is the hallmark of Schneider equipment. The Schneider HVCP offers a user-friendly set-up utilizing FANUC robotic arms with optimized Human Machine Interface that simplifies changeover and eliminates programming. A standard ethernet port allows remote monitoring and diagnosis. The HVCP can be designed to pack virtually any product, including rigid cases, bags, cartons, or trayed products at high speeds.
Schneider manufactures a complete line of case packers, tray packers, and robotic palletizing systems. Schneider also offers a variety of ancillary equipment such as case erectors, cartoners, conveyors, pallet dispensers, shuttle cars, automatic guided carts, and elevators that can easily be integrated with coding/labeling equipment, RFID / barcode scanners, weight checking, and stretch or shrink wrapping equipment to provide a complete turnkey system solution. Some of their specialty markets include the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, paper, replication, industrial, and personal care industries.
Whatever the requirements, Schneider works to provide the best solution for any unique need. Schneider Packaging is an Authorized System Integrator for FANUC Robotics.
