New BrentonProMach-2 Servo Indexing Case Packer

Oct 18, 2010

Brenton announced today its new Brenton ProMach-2 servo indexing case packer. This latest technological advancement reduces carbon footprint by reducing energy usage and number of components with direct coupling servo drives to end effectors. The Mach-2 occupies smaller floor space on the packaging line compared to other indexing motion case packers.

Designed with sustainability in mind, each electronic and servo drive is sized according to its torque requirements to reduce overall power requirements of the machine. Electronic drives also replace inefficient and costly air powered devices to reduce compressed air requirements.

The BrentonPro Series Mach-2 case packer is all-servo driven, side load case packer utilizing indexing motion to load up to 25 cases per minute. Cases accommodated include RSC, HSC, tray, wrap-around, knock-down, and harness for cartons, bottles, cans, and tubs. A continuous welded frame is standard for a long service life. The light weight aluminum guard package is seamless, built into the frame of the machine for a smaller footprint and eliminates gaps that can pose sanitary issues with extrusion. The walk in design allows easy access into the machine for cleaning and maintenance and eliminates the need to lean over a frame to work inside the machine.

"The new case packer is a good solution for companies focused on increasing throughput, reducing automation costs and using less floor space while maximizing manufacturing efficiencies," said Barry Heiser, Brenton General Manager and End-of-line Business Unit President. "It's ideal for anyone wanting to reduce downtime and the total cost of ownership over the life of the machine by reducing pneumatic and air usage. The BrentonPro Mach-2 increases profitability and minimizes the environmental impact of packaging operations by using less energy, saving factory floor space, and increasing ease of maintenance."
