The Brenton M3000 continuous-motion side-load case packer, which the company is featuring in Booth N-5546 at PACK EXPO 2022, packs between 30 and 50 wraparound or tray-style cases per min. Engineered for mid-range manufacturers of food products, the machine features Brenton’s standard servo-driven changeover assist design for more consistent changeovers in 15 min or less with minimal manual adjustments.
The M3000 utilizes Beckhoff XTS Track technology that reduces the footprint needed for the machine. This linear transport system allows the case to dwell in some stations longer than others, resulting in a smaller footprint with a higher case output rate. The intuitive HMI features two-touch navigation for commonly used functions, and the open access design allows for easy maintenance to decrease downtime.
PACK EXPO attendees will also see the Brenton redesigned MP1000 robotic bulk palletizing/depalletizing end-of-arm tool that can pick up full layers of product at one time.
The MP1000 provides consistent tight layer grids of palletized and depalletized product through cradle and place technology that combines a servo-operated rotary tool and slat system to gently handle full layers of product weighing up to 500 lb with each motion. Cradle and place technology outperforms traditional roller or vacuum pick and place systems, which can leave trays behind or fail to handle certain bulk items.
The MP1000 is the ideal solution for palletizing and depalletizing applications for empty or full bulk items, bags, cans, bottles, or irregular-shaped packs. It also works well for handling cases, open or sealed cases, trays, display packs, and bundles.
