Operations That Complete the Packaging Process

Several operations may be needed between a product leaving the line and its transfer to storage or shipping: erecting and sealing cases, distributing packages, stabilizing pallets and applying identification data. The equipment is installed between packaging, palletizing, conveying and logistics stages, completing the operations required before the product or pallet leaves the end-of-line section.

The sequence of end-of-line operations determines which machines are needed. One line may only require automatic case sealing, while another may need case erecting, pallet wrapping, strapping and labeling in sequence. Equipment capacity and settings must match production throughput, package formats and the way products arrive from the previous station.

From Case to Pallet: End-of-Line Functions

SAIEM integrates a range of packaging machines, selecting them according to the required operations:

  • Automatic case erector: prepares the empty case by opening, squaring and sealing the bottom.

  • Automatic flap-folding case sealer: folds the top flaps and seals the case after filling.

  • Stretch wrapper: stabilizes the palletized unit with a wrapping cycle tailored to the load.

  • Strapping machine: applies one or more straps to secure pallets and stacked products.

  • Multi-lane divider: distributes packages across multiple lanes in the configuration required by the downstream machine.

This equipment can be added individually to an existing line or coordinated within a more extensive packaging system.

Which End-of-Line Operations Do You Need to Automate?

Case erecting, sealing, load stabilization, distribution and identification can be assessed directly from the existing layout and production cycle. Product characteristics, formats, throughput and the operating sequence help identify which machines to install, in what order and how to connect them to existing equipment.
