Case packer features flap conditioner

On a new wine bottling line at McManis Family Winery in Ripon, CA, filled bottles exiting a Garvey accumulator move into a lane divider that converts the single-lane flow into three across. Bottles then enter a Flex Loader case packer from Delkor, where a reciprocating pick head with 24 pickers picks 24 bottles and strokes back to a position directly over the empty cases. The 24 bottles are lowered gently into the two cases that have been indexed into the loading station.
