A top loading case packer inserts products vertically through the open top of a carton or shipping case. The machine groups products and lowers them into the case using robotic grippers, servo-controlled systems, or mechanical pick-and-place devices.
A side loading case packer loads products horizontally into a carton or shipping case. Products are accumulated and pushed directly into the case from the side, creating a highly efficient packaging process.
Both top loading and side loading case packers offer significant advantages for secondary packaging operations.
