Standard-Knapp Protects Bottles and Labels with Advanced "Soft Placement" Pac-Assist™

Zero-Impact Servo System Packs Without Damage

Portland, CT—Standard-Knapp, a worldwide leader in the manufacture of innovative packaging machinery, offers its Pac-Assist “soft placement” module for secure, efficient case packing and tray packing.

Compatible with several case packer models, the Pac-Assist “soft placement” module, with advanced motion control, gently lowers bottles into cases or trays without damage to the label, closure or container integrity. With its steady, precise placement, the Pac-Assist eliminates bottle-to-bottle scuffing and breakage, with or without partitions.

The unique servo system accelerates bottles downward before coming to a gradual, decelerated stop as the heels of the bottles reach the bottom of the case. The packed case is then indexed to the discharge conveyor while the Pac-Assist module ascends into position for the next cycle.

The Pac-Assist is simple to adjust and change over. Its low-maintenance design adapts to trigger and unstable bottles of all sizes, allowing for more stable case packing and tray packing with less downtime. The Pac-Assist system is capable of handling several cases per cycle for maximum case packing efficiency.

Standard-Knapp offers 24 hour customer service assistance and extensive machine training programs. In addition to state-of-the art case packing and tray packing machinery, Standard-Knapp offers shrink wrapping and bottle packing solutions.
