SLEEVERS

SHELF READY IMPACT

MATERIAL SAVINGS

Aagard's unique Wrap Around Sleevers help you create a two-for-one shelf presentation that leverages the visual effect of the primary product package and a Wrap Around Sleeve. Visually highlight the consumed product in its primary package and a paperboard sleeve that presents label graphics, product features, and use instructions. Aagard Sleevers are designed to secure a flat, die-cut paperboard sleeve around various products in patterns that include stacked, double inverted, loose, with or without divider or layer pads. Sleeves provide shelf impact and material savings vs. cartoned products. Incoming products can be delivered in balanced or unbalanced lanes, randomly or back-to-back are collated in various ways depending on product type and package design.

  • Intermittent motion operation with multiple sleeves per cycle allows high throughput with a small footprint and slow, gentle cycle rate

  • Multiple case magazine lanes allow significant capacity in a small space

  • Vacuum belt sleeve advance allows for flexibility in sleeve design while maintaining positive handling

  • Dual gantry cup robots allow simultaneous picking from the infeed conveyors with integrated stacking during transfer into sleeves

  • Perpendicular transfers and servo powered sleeve forming devices allow for a squarely formed sleeve with a much tighter wrap than traditional inline sleevers

  • Extensive recovery features like automatic sleeve replacement for minimal downtime and operator intervention

  • Integrated case pack pattern collation simplifies case packer infeed

  • Flexible case packer allows multiple case format (wrap-around, harness, or tray) on the same machine via a changeover

  • Dual case compression stations allow for full-overlap flaps where desired

  • 2 station QC/reject checkpoints to detect missing sleeves, missing product, open manufacture's flap, end flaps, or mis-tucked flaps

  • Assemblies are mounted on adjustment screw to be easily opened up for maintenance access or jam clearing

  • Flat blank material allows for significant material cost savings as well as 2-3 times longer run-time for the same magazine length compared to pre-glued

  • Electronic locking guard doors for safety and to minimize accidental triggers of the E-stop circuit

  • Full height poly-carbonate doors for visibility and machine access that features tool-less removal/installation in increased access if needed

  • Distributed Ethernet-based I/O which reduces the length of wires, number of wire terminations, and the number of wires going back to the main panel

  • Three independent PanelView HMI' for machine information and control from around the machine

  • Integrated of Nordson Hot Melt system with full fill, which automatically feeds the tank when needed

  • Changeover time estimated 30 minutes or less for the entire machine
