Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

An automatic case packer is a secondary packaging machine that performs every step of case packing , erecting, collation, loading, sealing and transfer , under PLC control without operator intervention beyond magazine refill and recipe selection. Operators no longer determine line cadence; the machine does.

Question 2

<span class="e-n-accordion-item-title-header">What is the difference between an automatic case packing machine and a semi automatic case erector?

Accepted Answer

An automatic case packing machine performs the full case packing cycle including case erecting, product loading and sealing. A semi automatic case erector performs only the erecting stage , forming flat blanks into 3D cases and bottom-sealing them , while loading and top sealing remain manual or semi-automated. The erector is a common intermediate step on the path to full automation.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Cybernetik's fully automatic case packers run from 30 to 120+ cases per minute depending on product, matrix size and configuration: up to 40 pouches per minute on SCARA pouch packers, up to 120 bottles per minute on six-axis bottle packers, and equivalent rates on rigid carton applications.

Question 4

<span class="e-n-accordion-item-title-header">When does a semi automatic case erector make more sense than full automation?

Accepted Answer

A semi automatic case erector is the right step for plants that are still operating manual case packing and want to recover the biggest single time-loss , case erecting and bottom-sealing , without committing to full automation in one capex cycle. It typically doubles throughput over fully manual operation and is often the first step in a phased automation roadmap.

Question 5

Yes. Cybernetik builds automatic case packers in GMP-compliant configurations with stainless steel contact parts, pharma-grade end-of-arm tooling, tamper-evident sealing and audit-grade traceability for regulated pharmaceutical packaging.Is an automatic case packer suitable for pharmaceutical applications?

Accepted Answer

Cybernetik’s automatic case packers run at 30 to 120+ cases per minute depending on product, matrix size and configuration. Pouch lines achieve up to 40 pouches per minute (organised into cases); bottle lines achieve up to 120 bottles per minute; bar lines depend on upstream flow wrapper speed.
