High quality tape head systems manufacturer Dekka has launched a new entry-level case erector system that makes upgrading to a fully automated system easier.
The Dekka 500 Automatic Case Erector will help users increase production efficiency by taking the number up to 10 cases per minute. It also features an easy-to-use system user interface, easy size adjustments, and reliable tape application.
The company claims that the new machine is suitable for companies operating low-speed lines that have found the current automatic systems to be cost prohibitive.
Its HMI controls and handy color-coded on-machine instructions make it possible for a single person to operate the system.
The machine also features a durable, high performance tape head which takes 30 seconds or less for quick change tape loading. Its "No Break" tape advance, tape sealing reliability and efficiency also give it an edge.
Speaking about the Dekka 500, Dekka product manager Sander Smith said: "The DEKKA 500 is based on a simple to use, well-proven design that has served numerous light manufacturers, food processors, and health and beauty companies operating slower speed, automated lines.
"This is the second in a series of compact tape packaging machines based on the renowned DEKKA tape head that offer customers increased productivity at an affordable investment."
Dekka is powered by Pro Mach which is an Ohio-based provider of integrated packaging and processing products and solutions for food, beverage, consumer goods, pharmaceutical, and other diverse companies and will exhibit the machine at Pack Expo International between November 2 and 5.
