Automatic Case Erector & Robot Packing Line for Pouch Products – 60 BPM
This integrated production line combines automatic case erector with vision guided robotic pick and place packing system. Suitable for 50 1000g sachet & pouch products including chicken essence, milk powder, coffee, seeds and dried fruits. Max speed up to 60 bpm. Realize automatic weighing, bag packaging and case packing in one complete workflow to cut labor cost and boost production consistency.
This all in one production line integrates automatic case erector and vision guided robotic case packing system. It completes full process operations automatically: carton forming, online pouch detection, robotic precise picking, neat stacking inside cartons and filled carton output.
The front end can directly connect with multi head combination weigher and vertical bag packing machine, building a closed loop automation from weighing, bag forming & filling to final case packing. Widely applied for food, seasoning, beverage, seed and snack industries for granular and powder pouch goods.
Adopted modular design, the case erector supports stepless adjustment within certain carton size range. The robot vision system identifies pouch position and posture online to achieve flexible manufacturing, supporting fast change over for multiple product and carton specifications.

Industry Pain Points Solved
High labor cost & low manual packing efficiency:
Traditional manual carton packing requires multiple workers, resulting in continuously rising labor expenditure and limited throughput.
Unstable stacking quality:
Manual operation causes skewed placement, missing packs and mis alignment, which disturbs subsequent sealing and warehouse stacking.
Time consuming format change over:
Mechanical readjustment wastes production time for multi SKU small batch production.
Poor connection between upstream and downstream:
Disconnection between bagger output and packing station causes material accumulation or frequent equipment standby.
Food hygiene risk:
Human contact brings contamination risk for high hygiene demand products such as milk powder and food seasoning.
System Features
Automatic Case Erector for Carton Forming
Consists of frame, carton opening unit, carton clamping & conveying unit, carton pressing unit, carton magazine lifting unit, carton storage unit, movement core unit, suction fixture unit and manipulator unit for stable compact structure.
Supports stepless adjustment for different carton sizes within working range. Automatically picks flat cartons, unfolds and folds bottom flaps, then delivers cartons to target working position via chain plate conveyor.
Vision Guided Robot for Precise Picking & Case Packing
Equipped with 6 axis robot and online vision inspection system. Real time recognition for position and posture of incoming pouches, then robot performs automatic pick and place.
Pouches are neatly stacked inside cartons according to preset layout with high placement accuracy and consistent packing result. Once one carton is fully filled, it transfers to downstream sealing station while next empty carton feeds in for non stop continuous production.
Seamless Upstream Downstream Integration
Front end compatible with multi head combination weigher and bag packing machine. Integrates weighing, packaging and case packing into one unified workflow.
Greatly improves overall productivity, reduces labor requirement and enhances finished product consistency. Modular layout allows easy expansion with sealing machine, palletizer and other downstream units.
Intelligent & Flexible Operation
Fast format switch for various pouch and carton sizes, perfectly fit small batch & multi variety production mode. Vision system supports self learning for new products without complicated programming. Real time running status monitoring with automatic fault alarm for convenient maintenance.
Working Flow
Automatic Carton Erection:
The case erector picks flat cartons from magazine, unfolds and folds bottom flaps. Chain plate conveyor transports formed cartons to packing position. Stepless size adjustment available for different carton dimensions.
Online Detection & Material Picking:
Finished pouches travel through horizontal conveyor to packing workstation. Vision system detects pouch location, then robot executes automatic material picking.
Neat Carton Packing:
Robot places pouches inside carton following pre defined stacking pattern to guarantee tidy and compact layers.
Filled carton Discharge & Cycle Renewal:
After carton is full, it is sent to downstream sealing process. Meanwhile next empty carton moves into position to sustain continuous production.

FAQ
Q1: What is the maximum running speed of this production line?
A: The maximum speed reaches 60 bpm. Actual throughput depends on pouch size, carton dimension and stacking layout.
Q2: What pouch weight can this machine handle?
A: It works for 50 1000g granular and powder pouches, such as chicken essence, milk powder, coffee, seeds and dried fruits.
Q3: How long does format change over take?
A: The case erector supports stepless size adjustment. Cooperated with vision self learning function, format change over can be finished quickly without heavy mechanical modification.
Q4: Can this line connect with my existing packing machine?
A: Yes. It supports docking with combination weighers and vertical baggers. We will customize connection solution according to your existing equipment interface and production rhythm.
Q5: How to guarantee neat stacking by robotic packing?
A: Vision guided system tracks real time pouch position and posture. The robot places each pouch following pre programmed layout, delivering far more stable stacking result compared with manual packing.
Q6: How many operators are required for the whole line?
A: Only 1 operator is needed for carton refilling and status monitoring under normal running condition, realizing significant labor saving.
