357 Orbitron™ Continuous-Motion Case Packing Machine / Bottle Packer
The 357 Orbitron™ is a great way to get bottles or cans into cases or pre-formed trays. The overhead flight section guides product into the box continuously, while maintaining a small footprint.
- Orbitron’s technology advantage begins with the compact rotary product spacing wheel.
- Bottles entering the neck support assembly are gently lowered into case or tray with little or no drop.
- The case feed conveyor is power adjustable to accommodate tray height variations.
- Positive-positioning change part locators are provided with pre-set stops to allow immediate start-up and production.
- Direct drive “shear arm” assembly eliminates gearbox backlash for accurate bottle to case timing.
- Single-point adjust-down product detectors protect product and machine.
- Patented on-demand oscillator operates only when smooth product flow is interrupted, for continuous operation.
- Compact, all-stainless-steel frame. Full-length, electrically interlocked guard doors provide quick access and complete safety.
- Screw-type adjustment points for easy changeover.
- Integral quick-adjust handles for minimum tool requirements.
- Case lug chain take-up mounted outside frame for easy access.
- Operator control station mounted via 180° swivel arm provides maximum convenience and safety in setup and operation. “Handless” operation.
- Remote-mounted main electrical enclosure provides flexibility of location.
- NEMA 4x SST electrical boxes mounted on machine allow full washdown.
- Optional automatic lubrication system reduces maintenance requirements and enhances machine longevity.
- Five-foot infeed extension for loose product sweep-off. Delete option for multipack-only applications.
- Three-color indicating beacon for quick and easy machine status.
