COMBI INTRODUCES OPPOSING VACUUM CASE ERECTOR

March 5, 2008 Canton, Ohio - Reduce your cost of ownership with the new Combi Packaging Systems LLC Model VCE Case Erector featuring an opposing vacuum system for positive case opening. Recognizing rising production costs and the increased use of recyclable material in today's corrugated cases, Combi Packaging Systems LLC designed a case erector that consumes less air than any comparable case erector and provides a more reliable forming process with corrugated inconsistencies. Standard features and benefits include linear servo motion for smoother and faster speeds; motorized case magazine adjustment and only 3 case changeover points with digital indicators for fast, tool less changeovers; positive major flap closing insuring positive case squaring each and every time before bottom sealing and a small machine footprint - only 4'8" wide - saves valuable floor space.
