Taping Machine Systems In Focus: Yogurt Bundling

In the last installment of our taping machine systems series, we will look at BestPack’s custom taping machine system for yogurt bundling. This one-of-a-kind packaging system incorporates the company’s unique sleever/bundler system.

The yogurt bundling system consists of three stations namely traymaking, place packing and bundling.

1. Traymaking. In this first station, the trays for the containers are created using BestPack’s exclusive trayforming machines.

2. Case Packing. After the trays have been formed, the yogurt containers are then sorted and oriented based on how they will be fitted into the trays. The yogurt containers are then “grabbed” by arms with suction cups and then place-packed into the tray.

3. Bundling. In this last station, the tray and the yogurt containers are wrapped with film around the entire tray. The wrapped tray enters a heat tunnel where the film is shrunk. The heat also binds all the yogurt containers to the tray. Once securely packed, these yogurt containers are ready for shipment.

Taping Machine Systems In Focus: Textiles

In the past weeks, we have shared with you custom taping machine systems created by BestPack for specific industries. We’ve looked at book bindery, electronics, food packaging (for delicate food like tostadas), furniture and petroleum processing. This week, we are looking at another BestPack taping machine innovation: a custom system made for packaging filament yarn. This system uses breakthrough technology to enable yarns to be placed onto spools and to wrap these spools with plastic.

This one-of-a-kind taping machine system has three main stations.

1. Packing. This is where the spun yarn is placed onto spools. The spools with the yarn are then sent into a wrapper.

2. Wrapping. Here, the wrapper lifts the spun yarn to enable yarn to be completely wrapped by plastic. The wrapped yarn is then returned to the spool for packing.

3. Tray Erector. Once the yarn is wrapped, a tray is erected. This large traymaker was specially designed for the yarn industry. It then sends the traymaker to the packing area.

For the final instalment of our taping machine systems series, we’ll look at BestPack’s custom taping machine system for yogurt plants.

Taping Machine Systems In Focus: Petroleum Processing

Packaging canned petroleum in the form of motor oil is a delicate process that requires professional custom made machinery. BestPack, as a leader in efficient packaging solutions, has come up with this three-station taping machine system that will standardize the process of packing and sealing canned motor oil. While originally designed for petroleum processing, this taping machine system can also be used for packaging of other canned items.

1. Carton Erecting. Using the ESHBS erector, the box is erected and sent into the case packing machine. The ESHBS erector is designed with a bottom fed suction system that erects the case.

2. Packing. Using a suction system case packer, the cans of motor oil are initially arranged into an orientation that will maximize available carton space. A gantry arm with suction cups then packs the case.

3. Sealing. In this final station, the packed case is conveyed to one of BestPack’s carton sealers for professional sealing and then relayed to distribution for shipping.

Taping Machine Systems In Focus: Furniture

In our previous blog post, we talked about BestPack’s special custom taping machine system for packaging delicate food, specifically tostadas. This week, we are going to look at the company’s packaging system for furniture. As in other taping machine systems, this can also be used for packaging similarly sized items. For the furniture system, there are three fully customized stations: packing, conveying and sealing.

1. Flap Folding. This customized station was designed tilted so that furniture and other high profile items can be placed into tall cartons. This station consists of a tilted flap folder and a bottom case sealer.

2. Conveying. The carton is moved to the third and final station on a tilted conveying system. In this process, the box is turned and flipped to allow the carton to find its correct orientation before being sealed. Once it is turned, the operators will then put the item into the carton. The taping machine tilts it back up to original position for sealing.

3. Sealing. After packing, it is sealed with a customized fully automatic CS taping machine. This taping machine model was made taller to accommodate high profile items like furniture. Once sealed, the package is ready for shipping.

Whatever business or industry you are in, there is definitely a customized taping machine system for you. Next week, find out how BestPack plays a role in petroleum processing.

Taping Machine Systems In Focus: Delicate Food

In our past blog posts, we have looked at taping machine systems for bookbinding and electronics. Today, we are going to look at BestPack’s custom made packaging solution for food—delicate food products to be exact. Originally, it was designed for packaging tostadas (toast) so that they would not crack while being packed. Of course, this taping machine system is not limited to packing toast. With this packaging solution, delicate food items can now be automatically packed with ease.

Let us look at three stages of this system.

1. Carton Erecting. The carton is erected by a machine called ELVP erector. This is an L-Type erector which uses a pin system to efficiently erect the cartons for packaging.

2. Packaging and Sealing. After the carton is erected, it is conveyed to the packaging station where individually bunched tostadas (or whatever it is that is being packed) are packed using BestPack’s exclusive side packing case packer. Afterwards, the case is sealed using one of the company’s standard flagship carton sealers, otherwise known as taping machine.

3. Palletizing. In this final stage of the process, the cases are palletized using a low-profile palletizer. It is then stretchwrapped and prepared for shipping.

Next week, we will zoom in on BestPack’s taping machine system for packing furniture. Make sure to come back and check us out!

Taping Machine System In Focus: Electronics

As promised last week, here is our feature on the specially designed taping machine system for the electronics industry.

BestPack’s electronics technology was originally designed for the computer manufacturing industry. Today, business owners can now also use this custom four-station taping machine system for conveying and packaging of electronics.

1. Conveyor System. This part of the system is what sets this taping machine process apart. It enables each electronic item to be placed on an individual platform as it passes through the testing and installation lines. As the item moves, it is tested and fitted with accessories depending on each order.

2. Packaging and Sealing. In this station, a person uses a specially made suction system which elevates and wraps the product with a plastic wrapper. The electronic item is then placed into the proper carton. The latter is then sealed with one of BestPack’s standard tape carton sealers.

3. Palletizing. As the name implies, this is where the carton is palletized by BestPack’s fully automatic custom gantry arm palletizer.

4. Stretchwrapping. During this final stage of the process, the fully palletized pallet is stretchwrapped with the use of a fully automatic stretchwrapper. Once it is wrapped, it is then placed into the appropriate truck—ready for shipment.

Next week, we will look at BestPack’s special custom taping machine system for food packaging so be sure to come back and check us out.

Taping Machine Systems In Focus: Book Binding

Last week, we shared with you real life business challenges faced by companies who have yet to put in a place a packaging system using taping machines. As an industry leader, BestPack believes in not just selling a taping machine. More importantly, it wants its machines to make business processes more efficient. Thus, it has come up with custom packaging systems for different kinds of businesses.

In this article, we will talk about the Book Bindery System. It is a mix of old standard machines and modern custom taping machines which are designed to make book packaging more efficient—physically and financially. The Book Bindery System consists of four parts: carton erecting, carton and book conveying, book packing into cartons and weight checking for each cartons.

1. Carton Erecting. The carton erecting is done by the ELVS carton erector.

2. Conveying. The custom conveying system transports the erected carton and the pile of bound books to a specially designed drop pack placepacker.

3. Drop Pack Placepacker. The pile of bound books is dropped into individual cartons using BestPack’s exclusive drop pack technology.

4. Weight Check. In this station, a high-resolution ink jet printer prints a barcode onto the packed carton. After the labeling process, the carton goes through a scale which checks if the box has been packed with the right number of books. Once that has been settled, the carton is sealed by one of BestPack’s standard taping machines. If, on the other hand, the carton is over or under filled, it will be diverted into another line which leads to repacking.

Next week, we’ll look at carton sealer systems for electronics so make sure to come back and check us out.
