Bottom Load Case Packer
Gentle Case Packing, Built for Products that Demand Care.
Massman’s Bottom Load Case Packer combines gentle product handling with robust performance — perfect for bagged, fragile, or non-pickable products that require full support during case loading. By loading from below while maintaining a vertical case orientation, this machine protects delicate items, reduces product loss, and ensures perfectly formed cases every time.
With an integrated design that forms, loads, and seals cases within a single frame, the Bottom Load Case Packer streamlines your end-of-line process while minimizing operator interaction. Servo-driven motion controls ensure precision, repeatability, and 98% uptime under multi-shift conditions — all in a compact, rugged frame engineered for reliability.
How It Works
Operation begins with case blanks automatically fed into the magazine and erected in the setup station. Once formed, the case remains upright and open while the product is gently loaded from the bottom using a servo-driven lift platform. This bottom-load method ensures that bags, fragile containers, or non-rigid items are fully supported during transfer.
After loading, the case advances to the gluing or taping station where the flaps are folded, sealed, and compressed. The finished case is discharged, securely packed and ready for palletizing.
Throughout this process, Massman’s Case Packer maintains constant product support, preventing deformation, tearing, or shifting, key for products that can’t be picked with vacuum systems or that need precise, upright orientation during loading.
