Case Packing

A Legacy Of Engineering Case Packers, Since 1945

Our case packers are designed to enhance packaging line efficiency with precision, speed, and gentle handling for a variety of products, including bottles and plastic containers. We offer top-load, wrap-around, and continuous-motion systems for versatile compatibility and delicate control for pressure-sensitive containers. Additionally, we offer auxiliary equipment such as laners and case-top sealers that seamlessly pair with our case packing systems.

Top-Load Case Packing

Each case packer is built to align with specific production requirements, supporting a range of speeds and lane configurations. Designed for efficient operation, each model features fast, easy changeover to minimize downtime between runs, supported by a virtual changeover guide that helps operators complete adjustments with confidence and consistency.

Cost-effective top-load option for operations less than 30 cpm.

Utilizes servo-controlled motion for operations up to 60 cpm and parallel pack option.

Utilizes independently controlled lanes to eliminate product shingling.

Air Transfer

Innovative Product Handling 

Airbags inflate around products to gently shift them from their lanes to the proper placement for packing.

Versatile Compatibility 

Capable of handling various product types, including a wide range of sizes, materials, and shapes.

Delicate and Precise Control 

Ensures low-pressure handling to protect products, even delicate or fragile items.

Beer Placehead Working

Lowering Head

Precision Control

The grid precisely lowers products into their cases using servo-driven technology, ensuring accurate placement and reducing the risk of damage.

Gentle Product Handling

Designed for both glass and plastic containers, ensuring product integrity during packing, even with delicate or lightweight items.

Enhanced Speed and Versatility

The lowering head increases efficiency by keeping cases stationary, optimizing handling for splits required in multi-case configurations.

Beer Placehead Working

Placehead

Precise and Versatile Handling

Accurately places pressure-sensitive products into cases with gripper options for various container types, ensuring careful handling.

Minimized Drop Impact

Incorporates “place packing” technology to reduce the drop distance, enhancing product safety and packing precision.

Adaptable Bypass Mode

The modular system enables the placehead portion to be toggled off, allowing for a seamless transition from place packing to drop packing when needed.

Tray/Wrap-Around Case Packing

Engineered by Meurer, built by ITW Hartness. This continuous-motion system  is engineered for demanding envirnments, forming trays or wraparound cases around products in a single, streamlined process.

HTW Wraparound

Combines robust construction with advanced servocontrol for precision, reliability, and connectivity at speeds up to 65 cases per minute.

Designed for efficient tray packing with smooth, reliable operation at speeds up to 30 cases per minute.

Continuous-Motion Case Packing

2650 Case Packer

Achieves high packing speed by easing bottles into the
case or tray in a non-stop feed. Continuous motion keeps bottles flowing smoothly into trays, cases, or crates. 

This case packer is designed to control energy transfer through every movement, enabling precise placement at up to 60 cycles per minute.

Roll‑away modules make it easy to shift products as quickly as production demands, with changeovers completed in five minutes or less.
