Active Product Transfer Case Packer
939 APT Versatron™
Our top-of-the-line 939APT Versatron™ with Active Product Transport uses a unique active method of motivating product into the grid area– which is great for handling difficult shapes (non-round) or compressible containers. The 939APT also takes advantage of the Soft-Catch servo lift table.
- Efficiently handles reverse tapered bottles, flasks, unstable bottles, personal-care containers, locking shapes, trigger bottles and other non-round products
- New APT technology pulls product into packing area, eliminating line pressure
- High-speed, integrated servo laning for maximum product delivery
- Smooth transfers with pressureless product handling
- Precise indexing of cases for maximum control
- "Soft Catch" is quiet and gentle
- Robust construction and extremely low-maintenance operation
