A wrap around case packer takes loose product, collates them into the required format then delivers them to the wrapping station where the case is formed around the collation making it a tight pack. This type of wrapping is particularly attractive when packing glass bottles as the tight pack negates the use of dividers resulting in significant cardboard savings. The box flaps are sealed using hot?melt glue which makes for a very strong seal.

The Atlanta Giotto machines are made from stainless steel as standard making them attractive to the dairy and water industry sectors. As can be seen the machines can produce fully enclosed case, open top case and deep walled tray formats.

The carton blanks are picked?up from a high capacity blank magazine and formed continuously around the product. The machine can work as a tray former and
loader only.

In this section, driven by the machine main motor, the case is formed around the product with front and side fixed folders, while the rear flaps are folded
by mechanically driven folders. A hotmelt applicator applies the hot?melt to glue the folded flaps while the case is erected. The top little flap remains outside and it is closed by the upper conveyor.
