Question 1

<span class="e-n-accordion-item-title-header">What is a small case packer?

Accepted Answer

A bag case packer loads flexible packaging , pouches, sachets, stick packs, gusseted bags , into shipping cases using gentle vacuum or finger-grip pickup and density-optimized loading patterns. A carton packer loads rigid products , bottles, jars, cans, flow-wrapped bars , into shipping cases using higher-force pickup and geometry-determined matrix layouts. The fundamental difference is product rigidity, which cascades into every design decision.

Question 2

<span class="e-n-accordion-item-title-header">What throughput can a small case packer handle?

Accepted Answer

Cybernetik’s SCARA single-robot case packer handles up to 12 pouches per minute with a 5 kg payload, suitable for low-to-medium volume lines. The Six-Axis configuration handles up to 40 pouches per minute with a 200 kg payload and up to 120 bottles per minute, covering medium-to-high throughput. Both are customizable based on product and line requirements.

Question 3

<span class="e-n-accordion-item-title-header">Can a small case packer handle multiple SKUs?

Accepted Answer

Cybernetik builds hybrid case packing lines with quick-change end-of-arm tooling and dual-recipe HMIs that switch between bag and carton modes in roughly 15 to 30 minutes. This works well for mid-volume mixed lines, including co-packers and contract manufacturers. For high-volume dedicated production, specialized machines for each format typically deliver better economics.

Question 4

Is a small case packer CE certified?

Accepted Answer

CE certification is standard across multiple Cybernetik case packer variants including the SCARA single-robot configuration and the Multiple SKU Case Packer. GMP-built food-grade contact surfaces are standard across all food and pharmaceutical configurations.

Question 5

How does a small case packer integrate with existing production lines?

Accepted Answer

Cybernetik case packers are designed for upstream and downstream integration under a single PLC and control architecture. They connect to primary packaging equipment upstream and to case taping systems, label printers, and palletizers downstream. Modular design allows capacity expansion as throughput requirements grow , so the system you start with scales with your business.
