Intermittent-motion Case Packer
939E Versatron™
Standard-Knapp introduced the packaging industry to grid-style case packers and has since developed and advanced the grid and grid finger technology. Fingers may be plastic or stainless steel, depending upon the application.
The "snap-in grid basket" eliminates the need for hoists and allows one attendant to remove and replace the grid during changeover. This system is fast and efficient. The "roll-in caddie" design makes changeover simple by allowing the grid to roll in and snap up into place.

Case Packing Operation
- Bottles transfer onto the side of the infeed conveyor. Straight-in butt connects are optional.
- Bottles move in mass through the oscillator. As gaps are detected, the oscillator agitates bottles, providing a gentle product division.
- Bottles move onto a dead plate, where they are stopped and timed by overhead brakes.
- Brakes
- Pneumatic Cylinder
- The pneumatic overhead brakes release each group of product onto the riding strips.
- Riding Strips
- When the riding strips are full and a case is in place, sensors activate a shift of the riding strips, allowing the bottles to funnel through the grid fingers and into the case.
- The pneumatic "air-over-oil" lift table will move the empty case up and the full case down onto the take-away conveyor.
- Hydraulic Lift Table
- Case
- Grid
- Dead Plate
- Cases move back-to-back up the case conveyor. A low level indicator will initiate a soft stop. The machine will restart as cases are supplied.
