If you are going to Foodpro, you will be able to see Adaptapack’s robotic case packing systems in operation at the Walls machinery stand, G38. 

The family-owned company that has been supplying, servicing and designing packaging machinery solution since 1934, will also have an Anritsu inspection production line running on its stand, demonstrating X-ray inspection, metal detection and checkweighing

One of Walls’ star performers is Endoline’s servo driven 744 Fully Automatic Random Case Sealer. This new system is up to 50% quicker than current case sealing equipment, and the fastest of its type in the market. 

The 744 achieves speeds of 30 random sized cases per minute and was originally designed and built specifically for a global snacks manufacturer. 

Alan Yates, Endoline’s managing director, explained,“We were approached by a leading global snacks manufacturer who was looking for a high speed solution to seal random size cases of crisps. Our engineers have used multiple services to track case and head positions for exact synchronisation and to maximise throughput and reliability. As a result, not only are we meeting the customer’s needs, the introduction of the Endoline 744 has boosted our portfolio of servo driven machines – giving manufacturers another higher speed option.” 

It is suitable for contract packers, snack manufacturers and on line vendors, and an ideal solution in any line where increased production output is desired and a variety of case sizes are required to be packed and sealed.

Its high throughput speed is made possible by the use of high reliability servo drives. Because of its ability to handle a very high volume of random case sizes, the 744 can be fed via multiple lines. It is of benefit, therefore, to any manufacturer looking to consolidate case sealing from several packing lines running a variety of case sizes and save factory space in the process.
