Original Press Release:

Wexxar Introduces Hot Melt Case Former With Convertible Tape Sealing Option

Applications: Agricultural products, packaged food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, household goods, medical supplies-virtually all sectors which require corrugated case and tray forming and sealing

Wexxar's new series of convertible case formers, featured at Pack Expo International Booth N-3827 from Nov. 3-7, 2002, offers the option of switching sealing mechanisms from hot-melt glue to pressure-sensitive tape with a simple drop-in cartridge that can be set up and ready to go in minutes. Convertible Case Former Model WF2H is ideal for packagers and contract packagers of agricultural products, packaged food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, household goods, medical supplies--virtually all sectors which require corrugated case and tray forming and sealing.

Using one machine to provide both types of closure allows packagers to boost productivity through increased equipment utilization. Especially in today's contract-packaging environments, where the issue of tape or glue sealing crops up frequently, having the versatility to satisfy either preference is an effective way to keep costs down while broadening capabilities to meet customer needs.

Wexxar's convertible WF2 case former series incorporates patented pin & dome positive case opening technology. This feature provides unequalled forming reliability as it is able to handle all weights and plies of board construction, and is equally forgiving of quality variations in corrugated packaging.

Also on display at Pack Expo International Booth N-3872 will be other Wexxar tray formers and case sealers that incorporate such hallmark features as large case feed magazine; corrosion-resistant construction; rapid size change-over; servo motion control; and enhanced interlocked safety guarding.
