Unprecedented Efficiency and Economy

Economics with high returns are what makes the Invex first in its class. Conveniently compact yet loaded with advanced features, the Invex series brings a new level of servo automated efficiency to lower volume applications. Now, simplicity, flexibility and efficiency benefits of the latest electronic motion control technologies are available for virtually any line, providing maximum ROI without compromise.

Features

Invex Case/Tray Packer Features

  • Speeds to 25 cases/trays per minute
  • Simple and repeatable changeovers
  • A variety of infeeds and metering techniques for efficient product handling
  • Sturdy tubular frame construction
  • Small footprint saves valuable floor space

 

 

Innovations

Collating and Loading

Offering maximum flexibility and adaptability for rapidly changing product life cycles, the Invex performs to meet production demands.

Stage Push – a horizontal collation process used for handling cartons when vertical stacking is not required.

Pick and Place – Ideal for products such as tapered cups that cannot be pushed one against the other. We use a variety of vacuum or mechanical techniques specific to application requirements.

Up stacker, down stacker – an easy and cost effective method of vertically stacking cartons at lower case rates

 

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, quite operation reduces component wear for lower maintenance cost.
  • On-board diagnostics provide simple troubleshooting from the HMI.
  • PackML – and PackTags – ready with standards-based connectivity and IEC conforming software structure.

Case Blank and Product Control

Intelligent, precise case blank and product control during the loading process ensures consistent reliable production.

Precisely automated servo control ensures case blank and product loading are executed consistently and reliably for your full range of pack patterns, products and speeds. From case flap folding, to squaring, to compression and gluing, critical operations are precisely automated according to your pre-set recipes, ensuring more efficient, reliable production and faster, easier changeovers.

Flap Traps and Tuckers – A main contributor to increased efficiency and speed is the ability to control and fold case flaps. Flap traps and minor flap tuckers are servo driven to control their speed and timing. Servo driven flap traps operate consistently at all speeds to capture the case during setup, one of the most critical areas impacting efficiency. Precise control of tucker speed and timing is the best method for folding at the flap score line.

Case Squaring – Four corner case control squares the leading and trailing walls of the case just prior to case sealing and compression. Again, servo control of the squaring guarantees precise operation.
