Case Sealer

The PDI Model CTA Case Sealer (patented) features rugged construction for years of top performance. It uses a driven top belt that is extended upward and outward at the entrance to move with the box and gently fold the major flaps of an RSC case. The front minor flap is closed using an actuator instead of a stationary plow and the rear minor flap folder adjusts for different case lengths. The top belts capture the major flaps (after the minor flaps have been folded) and as the top belts are moving down and towards each other, they gently fold the major flaps. Since the top belts are travelling at the same speed as the case, there is no friction between the case and the folding mechanism. Using a folding conveyor instead of a stationary bar eliminates friction between the bar and the case.

Key Benefits

• The flap folding operation works with the box to form flat, square boxes every time
• Change-over to different sized boxes is accomplished in easy, repeatable steps
• Overfilled boxes can be sealed with the top assembly “breathing” if product is above the top score line
• Compact design saves plant floorspace

Key Features

• Positive Major Flap Folding: the major flap folding conveyor moves with the box and gently folds the major flaps as the box is conveyed forward
• Positive Minor Flap Folding: both front and rear minor flaps are positively folded instead of relying on stationary plows.
• Category 3 dual safety circuit electrically interlocked guard door
