The Beverage Meridian® multipacking machine provides high output and application adaptability for beverage-can packing, the co. says. Standard features include a metric, stainless-steel design, left- or right-hand configurations and the ability to handle can sizes ranging from 8 to 16 oz. The machine can be configured for single-tier six to 24-can packs. Dual pitch provides pack speeds of up to 210 packs/min at low linear speeds to reduce wear. The reduced linear speeds also facilitate pack and flap handling at lower velocities and accelerations, providing more precise control. Guarding and controls are ergonomically designed for operator convenience. Standard models feature direct-coupled servos and belt drives providing automatic pitch changes on the transport during size changeovers. The machine has a compact frame, allowing it to fit most applications. Changeovers can be performed typically in 10 to 30 min.
