Automatic Corrugated Tray Formers and Tray Erector Machines (15–35 Trays/Min)

An automatic corrugated tray former and tray erector (LV-TF30, 15–35 trays/min) pulls flat die-cut corrugated blanks (FEFCO 0422 / 0452), applies Nordson or Robatech hot-melt adhesive to all four corner tabs, and squares rigid display and shrink-tunnel trays with a servo forming mandrel.

Wrap-Around Blank Folding Kinematics & 15%–22% Corrugated Board Savings

Unlike conventional erect-pack-seal systems that open a pre-glued FEFCO 0201 Regular Slotted Container (RSC) and require +4 to +6 mm of internal clearance so products can slide in, a LINEVO LV-P320 wrap-around and tray packer (15–30 CPM) feeds a flat die-cut corrugated blank (FEFCO 0409 or perforated SRP) and folds the board tightly around the collated product group. Audit your exact annual fiber savings in our wrap-around vs RSC corrugated cost calculator:

1. 15% to 22% Corrugated Board Area Reduction: Eliminating the converter’s pre-glued manufacturer joint and replacing overlapping top/bottom RSC flaps with an outside glue tab cuts corrugated blank area by 15% to 22% per case—saving $0.06 to $0.14 per box ($90,000 to $250,000+/year on two-shift beverage, dairy, and canned food lines).
2. Zero Internal Clearance & Higher Stacking Compression (BCT): Becauseservo folding plows and pneumatic mandrels wrap the corrugated walls directly against the product perimeter (0 mm internal gap), containers cannot rattle, scuff labels, or shift during transit, and vertical flutes stay perfectly plumb for pallet stacking.
3. 3-in-1 Format Flexibility (Full Wrap-Around, Perforated SRP, and Half-Tray): By recalling a servo HMI recipe and swapping quick-release pin mandrels in 15 to 20 minutes, the same LV-P320 frame runs fully enclosed shipping cases, perforated tear-hood Shelf-Ready Packaging (SRP), and 40–75 mm corrugated display trays (LV-TF30).

Die-Cut Blank Tolerances, Hot-Melt Compression & 30 CPM Drive Architecture

Even the fastest servo collator will miss shift OEE targets if the case erecting, flap sealing, or downstream accumulation module jams on high-recycle corrugated board. LINEVO enforces four mechanical design standards across every station:

4-Gate Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) & Turnkey Line Qualification

Before any LINEVO case packer, case erector, or integrated monoblock (LV-P200-MP) is approved for crating, our engineering team executes a documented 4-Gate Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) using 30 to 50 of your actual knocked-down corrugated blanks and production product samples:

• Gate 1 — 30-Minute Uninterrupted Run at 100% Rated CPM: The machine packs 300 to 900 consecutive cases at full contract speed with ≥98.5% net completion, zero vacuum-drop misfires, and ≥80% hot-melt fiber tear across all four major flaps.
• Gate 2 — Timed ≤15-Minute No-Tool SKU Changeover: A single technician switches the machine from your smallest SKU to your largest SKU using only the Siko digital counter recipe sheet and quick-release pin mandrels, verifying first-case diagonal squareness within ±1.5 mm.
• Gate 3 — PackML Upstream & Downstream Handshake Simulation: Full verification of dry-contact or Ethernet/IP / Profinet interlocks with upstream checkweighers, metal detectors, downstream LV-9560PL print-and-apply GS1-128 labelers, and 24V MDR accumulation conveyors.
