Taking the next step to high-speed case forming performance is simplified by A-B-C’s Model 450 case erector. “This case erector offers features to ensure smooth, high volume operation including a servo-operated compression ram and substantial 3 hp main drive motor, plus solid construction, all-mechanical continuous motion drive, high capacity vacuum system, and A-B-C’s intelligent control package,” said Bryan Sinicrope, vice-president, sales and marketing. The Model 450 has a large capacity kd case magazine that ensures non-stop operation, as it automatically indexes kd stacks when needed, and may be refilled at any time without lifting cases.  Optional case magazine extensions are available to allow additional kd capacity.  Features for high speed production include the walking beam case drive which automatically squares cases as they are transferred through the erector, and the servo-operated sealing ram that ensures top precision during compression.
