Standard-Knapp, a manufacturer of innovative packaging machinery, announces the availability of the Model 199 continuous-motion case sealer, ideal for high-speed sealing of primed flap and re-shipper cases (RSC).

The high efficiency Model 199’s inline design allows for high speed, consistent sealing of all incoming cases, whether close-coupled to a case packer discharge or installed as a stand-alone machine. The continuous-motion case sealer offers speeds of 50-75 cases per minute, and features quick complete changeover in less than two minutes.

Using a one-hose, four-gun, hot melt glue system or optional tape dispensing unit, the Model 199 sealer glues or tapes and folds the top flaps into place. An on demand servo-controlled flap tucker ensures precise timing and a consistent glue pattern or accurate tape placement. A pneumatically controlled flap tucker is also available for slower speeds. The Model 199’s one hose and four low-cavity glue guns ensure reliable gluing and virtually no-drip operation.

The Model 199 was carefully designed with fewer moving parts to reduce downtime. The low maintenance design features a rust-proof stainless steel frame. A durable, well-tested compression section uses standard friction belt to easily handle lightweight cases and eliminates the need for side belts.

Simple operation makes the Model 199 a pleasure to work with. From the user-friendly HMI touch-screen control panel, to the easy entry for changeover or maintenance, to an in-feed glue pattern that can be changed with a simple push of a button, the Model 199 has been designed for ease of operations and maintenance. One operator can complete changeover in less than two minutes, with no tools or change parts needed. To eliminate guesswork, each changeover point is numbered, and corresponding settings are documented on a chart provided with the machine.
