One of the most tedious tasks for brewers is hand erecting their four and six pack carriers and the master shipping cases. This requires a large amount of labor and a large amount of space when most facilities are filled with processing equipment. Multi-function machine erects 4 and 6 pack carriers; erects the RSC master case; then case packs the carriers, creating a bottle-ready case.

Also offered is the Ergopack ergonomic hand packing station customized with a six pack carrier dispenser and recirculating conveyor for semi-automatic bottle case packing. Both levels of automation will enhance productivity on bottle case packing lines.
