PPCTS/impack TO SHOWCASE THE ERGOSA™8c UNIVERSAL PACKER AT THE UPCOMING IADD-fSEA ODYSSEY IN NASHVILLE TN - MAY 1 - 3, 2013, booth 506, 508

Pewaukee, WI. USA, February 4, 2013

Converters that currently use conventional hand packing methods for their folder gluers can greatly improve their productivity with the use of the ERGOSA™ Universal folder gluer packing systems.

The ERGOSA™ system can help increase production speeds, reduce the number of packing personnel, as well as greatly reduce the occurrences of repetitive motion injuries.

ERGOSA 8.0

The ERGOSA™ UNIVERSAL packer was developed to reduce the number of movements made by the packing personnel with a better ergonomic approach, that removes unnecessary steps, organizes the packing method in more fluid motion and greatly improve the packing personnel’s efficiency.

The ERGOSA™ packing method removes stress from the packing personnel’s joints, tendons and wrist, as the cartons are slid into the case without any lifting.

The versatility and configurability of the ERGOSA™, with various specialized modules as the PERPACK and MAE add-ons, allows packing of straight line, 4 & 6 corner cartons at greatly increased productivity and speed, in multiple layers and rows, as well as the traditional packing of lock bottom boxes. Once the corrugated case is filled by the packing personnel, it is automatically ejected from the packer and can be directed to a case taping system or other conveying system. The corrugated case bottom is not required to be pre-taped prior to packing.

The ERGOSA™ packer can be installed on new and existing folder gluers from any manufacturer at the exit end of the folder gluer compression section conveyor or after various turning modules designed by IMPACK to pre-condition the orientation of the boxes prior to packing. The ERGOSA™ system is speed synchronized to the folder gluer and job change preparation only takes a few minutes and is normally done the packing personnel.

The ERGOSA™ allows easy access to the individual cartons for quality control checks, is ergonomic, flexible with minimal changeover and capable of high production speeds to answer the needs of today's folder gluer lines. The ERGOSA™ can be configured with different types of modules and tools to address each customer’s current or future needs.
