Case sealer handles eggs with care

Midwest Poultry, North Manchester, IN, relies on a Marq Model HPR random top-and-bottom case sealer for “eggcellent” reliability. See video

The private-label egg packer, which counts Wal-Mart and Kroger as customers, started up the case sealer in 2004. The cases contain 9-, 15-, 24-, or 30-count cartons of eggs.

The machine accepts the total outflow of cases from more than a dozen production lines, so “it has to be reliable,” emphasizes plant general manager Mark Casper. There were no start-up issues, and there has been no downtime associated with the sealer, Casper says. The machine was procured and integrated by Flex-Pac.
