Innovations

Sleeving Capabilities

Apex™ offers rugged reliability combined with the latest innovative technologies to easily and precisely adapt to your application.

Conveying and Product Handling

Douglas offers appropriately applied technologies for infeed conveying, collating and loading solutions that increase line efficiencies for soft, semi-rigid and rigid containers

  • Simple balanced lane product infeeds use surge control to enhance line efficiency by increasing or decreasing machine speed to maintain pace with product delivery.
  • Timing screws are used for surgeable, semi-rigid containers requiring grouping, spacing, or separation prior to sleeve introduction.
  • Side selectors are beneficial for soft products with minimal surface contact area that are susceptible to varied surge conditions.
  • Star wheels are used for soft products requiring surge control and spacing prior to sleeve introduction.
  • For products requiring orientation prior to sleeving, unique live belt turning reliability

Automated Changeovers

Automated changeovers offer dramatic improvements to line efficiencies and reduce operator errors.

  • Machine functions operate simultaneously instead of one at a time, dramatically increasing efficiencies.
  • Servo motors are readily programmed with excellent capability to adapt to changes and adjustments.
  • Fast, repeatable changeovers and simple adjustments when products or materials vary slightly.
  • Smooth, quiet operation reduces component wear for lower maintenance cost.
  • On-board diagnostics provide simple troubleshooting from the HMI.

Case Blank and Product Control

Precision sleeve blank and product control ensures consistent non-stop production for all product types.

Magazines are intelligently designed to ensure precise blank placement and orientation. Optional air-assist is used to enhance blank separation for high speed applications.
Sleeves are introduced from the top or bottom depending on sleeve design. Methods including sleeve flight lugs and capture rail systems maintain constant control of sleeve and product during the loading process.
Closing and sealing are aided with a combination of static plows and live closures to minimize sleeve friction and resistance, ensuring consistently formed end products.
