Proseal adds compact solution to automatic case packer portfolio

PROSEAL has added to its automatic case packer range with the launch of the CP2, described as a ‘compact, high-speed’ system that provides the ability to fill cases at up to 110 packs per minute.

Capable of handling a variety of pack formats, including trays, pots, and sandwich packs, in materials such as A-PET, C-PET and board, the CP2 is said to provide the same ‘durability and protection’ as Proseal’s existing range, but with an enhanced compact footprint. This enables it to fit into existing packing lines and for applications where factory space is limited.

The CP2 utilises Proseal’s ProMotion tray infeed system, which increases throughput by using following motion and smart buffering technology to effectively control the flow of trays. This, Proseal explained, allows them to feed continuously into the machine without stopping.

The CP2 has the flexibility to handle new pack formats including recyclable and compostable trays. The manufacturer added that its auto tool technology ensures ‘fast and easy’ changeovers, while Quick Release (QR) conveyors can be ‘swiftly removed and replaced’ to ‘speed up and simplify’ cleaning and maintenance.

The move follows the launch of the Proseal CP3 last year.

“We have had very positive feedback about our CP3 in terms of its high performance and reliability, but ongoing discussions with customers also indicated that many would welcome a more compact solution for applications that don’t require the high throughput that the CP3 offers,” said Nick Severn, senior control systems engineer, Proseal UK. “The CP2 meets these requirements while still delivering a fast and efficient case packing solution to help companies maximise throughput.”
