Lantech Tray Erectors

RMGroup supply and support Lantech Tray Erectors as part of our end-of-line automation range, offering a reliable solution for consistently forming square, structurally sound trays.

Square cases are essential—they pack better, stack better, and protect products more effectively. When case sides aren’t properly aligned, they can lose up to 30% of their stacking strength. Factors like thinner corrugated board, environmental changes, and blank variation can all cause misformed cases or machine jams.

From the moment a blank enters the magazine until it exits the tray erector as a properly formed and 4 sides sealed tray, it is under complete control.  A unique pickup frame pulls the tray blank from the magazine and puts it into a horizontal position. Four snap-lock clips transport the blank to the forming position. During this transfer glue is applied on the blank. The blank will be forced through the forming unit, after which the sides of tray blank will be simultaneous pressed on all sides. Finally the formed tray exits the machine.

Key features include:

• Blank Delivery Control
  Powered belts precisely govern the delivery speed of the tray blanks. Blank retainers ensure the blanks are spaced correctly.

• Blank Separation
  Special separators release only the leading blank to the pickup frame and retain the following blanks.

• Blank Pick-up
  From the magazine a blank is taken with vacuum and put in position. Four snap-lock clips transport the blank to the forming head position.

• Adjustable Forming Unit
  The folding unit is adjustable in length and width and can be adjusted to the correct tray size. The adjustments are done by hand wheels and can easily be read from counters and scales.

• Square Tray Forming
  While the blank is being pressed through the forming unit by the stamp, the sides of the tray are simultaneous folded and glued on 4 sides.

• Flexible to Handle Different Tray Formats
  Modular machine configuration to handle basic tray formats and shapes that meet your operational needs.
