Model 360 2-in-1 Bottle Unpacker and Packer: A-B-C Packaging

A-B-C offers an automated packaging solution for processors who manually unpack and repack bottles in reusable cases. It’s a compact, all-in-one machine that performs both uncasing and case packing with every motion of the servo-operated robotic-style transfer head. The Model 360 reportedly eliminates manual labor, provides gentle handling and ensures a consistent bottle feed to the production line–at a conservative cost.

How it works: cases filled with empty bottles are fed on a conveyor to the Model 360. In every cycle, two separate actions occur: the unpacking head grips and lifts the empty bottles and places them on the conveyor to be transferred to filling, while the packing head picks up and packs finished bottles feeding from the production line into the emptied case. The servo-operated transfer head smoothly and efficiently carries containers with no drop and keeps them under complete control during operation…bottles are released only when they reach the bottom of the case during packing, or the conveyor for unpacking.

The Model 360 uncases and packs glass or plastic bottles in a variety of sizes at speeds to 15 cases per minute. Its 2-in-1 footprint reduces the floor space and machinery investment when compared to the size and cost of separate uncasers and case packers.
