BEL 505 Semi-Automatic Case Erector
This line of semi-automatic case forming and packing stations is a compact and ergonomic packaging solution ideal for replacing manual hand packing. The machine dynamically folds the bottom of the case and holds it in place for the operator to begin packing. This allows for quick and ergonomic case packing, much more efficient than a traditional hand pack line. When combined with a BEL case sealer, it allows one operator to form, pack and seal corrugated cases in a single operation.
Easy to Own and Operate, Providing a Reliable Investment
Built for easy and ergonomic case forming, the BEL 505 is a very versatile machine that can handle a wide range of case types and sizes, with many custom options that let it be highly customized to the demands of the packaging line. Easy to operate and easy to maintain, it is the perfect fit for low- to mid-volume applications looking for an entry-level machine and for operations that are just starting to automate from a traditional hand pack line. At a fraction of the cost of fully automatic case erectors, it provides an economical and effective way of minimizing manual labor.
The BEL 505 is ideal for a number of industries, including the dairy products, personal care products, craft beer, pharmaceutical, chemical, and floriculture and cut flower industries.
