The Series AEV Case Erector is a compact and cost effective fully automatic RSC/HSC Erector & Bottom Hot Melt Glue Sealer. The current version has been updated to include positive carton opening to overcome problems with carton opening caused by excess gluing of the manufacturers’ joint which will cause minor & major panels to be glued together. It will also open damaged and out of square carton blanks. Overall squareness of the finished product is assured by the use of side drive belts which are fitted with accurately positioned metal lugs. Accuracy of glue bead positioning and length is assured by is assured by the use of a digital encoder.
The automatic carton erector is essential machinery in the packaging industry, streamlining operations by efficiently forming cartons at the station. With advanced automation equipment, it enhances productivity, especially in facilities handling large volumes, such as pallet loading zones, where precise and consistent carton formation is critical. This automatic packaging machine is designed to fully automate the process to load, open, fold, and erect cartons from flat cardboard blanks.
This machine significantly speeds up the packing process by reducing the need for manual labour, allowing for high-speed production and efficient packaging. By using various mechanical and pneumatic systems, the machine can handle different carton sizes and types, making it a versatile solution for diverse packaging needs.

How does a carton erector work?
A carton erector typically operates by feeding flat carton blanks into the machine, where they are automatically opened and formed into a box shape. The machine uses a series of mechanical arms and vacuum systems to secure and manipulate the carton as it is opened and sealed. Once the carton is formed, it can be transported through a packing area to a sealer for closure, or it can be integrated into a larger packaging line. This entire process is designed to maximise speed and efficiency, allowing for a high output of cartons per minute.
What are the benefits of using an automatic case erector?
Using an automatic case erector offers numerous advantages, including increased productivity, reduced labour costs, and improved consistency in packaging. These machines minimise the risk of human error during the packing process and can easily adapt to various carton sizes and styles. Moreover, they contribute to a more organised end of line packaging process, enhancing overall efficiency in the packaging operation.
What types of carton erectors and sealers are available?
There are several types of carton erectors and sealers available on the market, including fully automatic models that integrate both the forming and sealing processes, and semi-automatic models which may require some manual intervention. Additionally, some machines are designed specifically for certain carton styles, such as Regular Slotted Cartons (RSC), which are the most common type used in packaging. Other options include machines for half-slotted cartons, tuck-end cartons, or custom designs tailored for specific industries. These erectors and sealers can be equipped with various features like hot melt glue or tape sealing, depending on the packaging needs, offering flexibility and efficiency for a wide range of production environments.
