    1. Drop-Type Case Packers

    • Nongfu Spring Bottled Water Production Line: Focused on mass production of standardized PET bottled water, the production line adopts drop-type case packers to match its operational needs. The equipment conveys grouped mineral water bottles to a load-bearing plate via a conveyor belt; once the set quantity is reached, the load-bearing plate is released instantly, allowing the bottles to fall freely into pre-opened cartons below. With a packing capacity of 120 cartons per minute, the equipment features a simple mechanical structure—daily maintenance only requires inspecting wear on the load-bearing plate and conveyor belt, significantly reducing maintenance costs. It perfectly aligns with the water plant’s 24/7 continuous production rhythm and minimizes efficiency fluctuations caused by manual intervention.

    • Bluemoon Laundry Detergent Factory: For large-barrel PET laundry detergent bottles, the factory employs customized drop-type case packers. The equipment is equipped with flow-guiding devices in the drop zone to prevent bottles from tilting or tipping during descent. Meanwhile, the drop height and load-bearing plate release speed can be adjusted according to different specifications (3kg, 5kg, etc.) of laundry detergent barrels, enabling multi-size compatibility. No manual adjustment is required during packing, increasing production line efficiency by 40% and reducing packaging damage such as barrel scratches.

    2. Side-Push Case Packers

    • Tobacco Packaging Line of a Major Tobacco Group: Cigarette cartons feature regular dimensions but require high packing neatness. The group adopts side-push case packers: the equipment first arranges cigarette cartons in layers via a conveyor belt, then a servo-driven push rod smoothly pushes the layered cartons into the side opening of the carton along a preset trajectory. By preconfiguring packing parameters for different cigarette carton specifications, the equipment can quickly switch between packing modes for hard packs, soft packs, and other categories, achieving a packing speed of 80 cartons per minute. The cigarette cartons inside are tightly arranged without loosening, meeting the tobacco industry’s strict requirements for packaging regularity.

    • PROYA Cosmetic Carton Production Line: Targeting various small regular cosmetic cartons (e.g., foundation bottles, eyeshadow palettes), the production line introduces side-push case packers. By replacing push rod modules adapted to different carton types and adjusting push strokes, the equipment enables rapid switching for multi-specification packing. A visual positioning system ensures precise placement of cosmetic cartons during packing, and the smooth push motion prevents wear on printed carton surfaces. The equipment handles automated packing of dozens of product types daily, improving packaging consistency while reducing the damage rate caused by manual operation.

    3. Spider (Parallel Robot) Case Packers

    • Imported Fruit Packaging Enterprise: To address challenges such as fruit box fragility, consistent placement requirements, and multi-size compatibility, the enterprise adopts a production line equipped with Omron Quattro Delta spider case packers. The spider robot achieves a maximum picking speed of 300 times per minute, with a fourth robotic arm capable of tilting loads for precise placement in narrow fruit box crates. Paired with PackXpert software, operators can offline develop packaging layouts for new fruit box sizes and switch programs with one click during changeovers, significantly reducing downtime and meeting the high-rhythm, multi-specification needs of fruit packaging.

    • Canned Carbonated Beverage Factory: Canned beverage cans have smooth surfaces, and collision-induced air leakage must be avoided. The factory introduces spider case packers equipped with flexible suction cup grippers that adjust suction force to prevent can deformation or slipping. With precise motion trajectory planning, the spider robot quickly arranges canned beverages into cartons in a 3×4 pattern, achieving a packing efficiency of 150 cans per minute. It adapts to the high-speed filling rhythm of the production line and reduces packaging damage by 30% compared to traditional equipment.

    4. Servo-Driven Case Packers

    • Yogurt Production Line of a Well-Known Dairy Enterprise: Yogurt products come in diverse specifications (e.g., 100ml small cups, 500ml family packs), requiring frequent production line changeovers. The enterprise selects Shuangcheng Intelligence servo-driven case packers, whose servo control systems allow rapid adjustment of packing parameters without replacing a large number of mechanical components. Equipped with a visual recognition system to locate yogurt cups of different specifications, the equipment performs precise grabbing and packing actions with stable operation (no jitter), avoiding yogurt cup deformation. It maintains a stable efficiency of 100 cups per minute even in high-frequency changeover scenarios.

    • Mixed Packaging Production Line of a Snack Enterprise: The production line handles mixed packing of various irregular flexible-packaged snacks (e.g., potato chip bags, nut bags). Leveraging flexible servo control technology, the servo-driven case packer adjusts grabbing force and packing trajectory to adapt to soft-packaged products of different textures, preventing packaging damage and material leakage. It can also prestore multiple packing schemes to enable rapid switching between different snack combinations, meeting the customized mixed snack gift box packing needs of e-commerce platforms.

    5. Robotic Case Packers

    • Midea Air Conditioner Outdoor Unit Production Base: Air conditioner outdoor units are large and heavy, making manual packing difficult and risky. The base adopts KUKA robotic case packers equipped with customized carton-fitting fixtures and product positioning mechanisms, enabling automatic carton opening, precise positioning, and carton fitting. The equipment is compatible with three different sizes of air conditioner outdoor units, completing one unit’s carton fitting in just 11 seconds. The outer packaging has no indentations or scratches, solving the problems of low efficiency and high damage rate in large household appliance packaging.

    • BYD Power Battery Factory: Power batteries are heavy and require strict anti-collision and anti-short-circuit packaging. The factory adopts a fully automatic integrated line of robotic case packers, integrating carton forming, packing, sealing, and palletizing functions. Through precise path planning, the robot smoothly places power batteries into customized protective cartons while synchronously placing buffer materials, realizing unmanned packing of heavy cartons. It not only increases efficiency by 30% but also avoids safety hazards caused by battery collisions during packing through standardized operations.
