The T-System is comprised of a Tray Former (Econolock to Econoform), a flighted conveyor, and a Reverse Tri Seal or Straight Line Closer. It will form corner glue, corner lock or simplex style locking trays with a hinged cover, place them on a belt conveyor for loading, and seal them using hot melt glue at speeds of up to 25 per minute. It’s method of operation is:
- Flat blank is automatically pulled from a supply magazine with vacuum cups
- Flat blank is feed forward to forming area via a set of feed fingers
- A mandril plunges the blank through a tooling cavity where it is corner glued, corner locked or folded over
- The completed formed tray is discharged straight down on to a variable speed, continuous motion, flighted conveyor
- The standard machine has 6 feet (1830mm) of load area for an operator or robot to load product in to the formed trays
- The loaded tray is transferred 90 degrees in to the Reverse Triseal or Straight Line Closer where the tray is sealed with hot melt glue and discharged from the machine
