econdary packaging was originally developed to protect the product, or to

make it easier to hold several items together. In fact, these features remain

important for the packaging industry today, but in addition we now have

to consider other factors such as marketing, logistics and, in some cases,

the technological process. Nowadays in particular, secondary packaging is often required to

carry graphical images and therefore serves as an important

medium for brand identity during the distribution chain.

Quite often the secondary packaging case itself becomes

the sales unit and it must therefore be sufficiently

manageable, robust and attractive to the consumer, whilst

being able to carry all the relevant product information.

Some products need to be protected from light and heat

and both of these requirements can be fulfilled by having a

secondary protective covering.

At present, most products in the beverage, wine & spirits,

petrochemical, edible oils, food and pet food sectors are

contained within one of three types of secondary packaging:

cardboard cases, shrink-film and rigid plastic crates. We

will concentrate on the first of these by il lustrating the main

concepts and by explaining the technology associated with

wraparound case packing equipment.

Case packing offers important advantages; for example,

it protects the products inside the case from mechanical stress, abrasions and knocks. A

cardboard case offers far greater security than a shrinkwrapped pack and, compared to

a rigid crate, it weighs less and takes up less space. Furthermore, case-packed products

are usually more stable and are therefore not subjected to the movement associated

with products that are packed within the rigid structure of a crate. The thickness of the

cardboard acts as a shock absorber for the product within and therefore minimizes impactsduring movement of the case. A cardboard case can be printed, just like shrink-film, and

offers an ample flat area on which to carry a decorative graphical image. This feature is

particularly useful from a marketing point of view, as it creates a means of communication

with the consumer and distributor. Unlike crate-packed goods, products that are packed

into cardboard cases are less subject to external factors such as light and dust these can

be important issues in many market sectors. Apart from this, a cardboard case is easier to

handle than a shrinkwrapped pack, as it is more stable and less susceptible to damage; a

cardboard case is lighter than a crate, therefore it requires less motorised force to move it.

The use of a cardboard case also avoids the logistical problems associated with returning

empty crates.

One important observation should be made

immediately: wraparound technology offersmore production capacity in a smaller space,

but not just this one machine against three

means lower installation and maintenance

costs. It should also be noted that the

deployment of personnel on each system

is very different. American case packing

machines require a full-time operator, while

wraparound packers only need an operator to

feed the consumable materials - an activity

which can be automated to a large extent.

A single operator can therefore cover two

wraparound machines on the same linewithout assistance from other personnel.

Another advantage of the wraparound system

is that the cardboard case is designed to fit

precisely the set of containers, making it

extremely compact. The American case has to

be slightly bigger in size than the containers

which are inserted into it. This means that it

is often essential to use partitions between

the containers to protect the product and avoid

damaging the labels. Finally, it is important

to point out that on the wraparound system,

the weight of the glass (in containers such asbottles) can sometimes be reduced because

of the greater protection and the compact

packing it offers.

Technology compared: wraparound case

or American case?

ase packing technology

is divided into two mainsystems: Wraparound case

packing and the top-opening

American case. The difference between the

two concepts is very simple: the American

case is erected prior to being filled with the

product, whereas the wraparound system

forms and seals the case automatically around

the product.

The two types of case may appear similar and

the material used is often the same, but there

are significant differences which should be

carefully considered before deciding on onesystem or the other.

The forming of an American case requires the

use of three machines: the first erects the box,

the second inserts the product into the box and

the third closes and seals it.

The wraparound system on the other hand

uses only one machine, the wraparound

packer, which begins with a flat cardboard

blank that is wrapped around the products and

sealed with jets of glue. Thanks to this system

a single machine can reach a production

speed of 80 cases per minute, well beyondthe capabilities of American case packing

technology, while at the same time taking

up less space and offering lower complexity.

The American Case

The American Case involves the use of three

machines which serve to erect the box,

insert the bottles or other containers into it,

and finally to close up the case. The case is

normally fairly large in size in comparison to its

contents, and this can cause greater internal

instability. Partitions are often used to reduce

the risks of friction and breakage between thecontainers.

Wraparound Case

The pack obtained with the wrap-around

case packer is, as its name suggests, a piece

of cardboard wrapped around a group of

containers such as bottles, cans, multi-packs,

etc. The single machine deals with the entire

process; from the selection of the containers

right up to the closing of the box. The resulting

pack is very compact thanks to the reducedtolerances achieved through compression.

in a uniform fashion over a wide area, offering

maximum resistance once the case is sealed.

The Ocme solution is more efficient since

it also requires a smaller quantity of glue

which, as we will see later on, has important

implications for safeguarding the environment

and also for company overheads.The solution of forming the case with the long

side leading, combined with OCMES guide

system, guarantees that the finished case is as

compact as possible.

The most striking feature however, of this

solution, is the quality of the final pack. With

long side leading technology, case folding

is achieved using motorised drives and not

just fixed guides. In this way the cardboard

is forced against the product, guaranteeing

a much more compact pack. The long side

leading technique ensures that the containersare pushed against one another and this

avoids any looseness in the resulting case.

ot all manufacturers of

wraparound case packers use

the same working logic. Ocme

in particular has developed

its own solution for gluing the pack with the

long side of the case leading. What does

this mean? A cardboard case is a rectangularblock, the sides of which (seen from above)

are not equal. A case can run through the case

packing machine with either the long or the

short side leading.

OCMEs solution guarantees that the side

flaps are closed as securely as possible with

a jet of glue emitted from suitably positioned

spray guns.

Apart from the facility to vary the case

dimensions, the lateral guides on the side

compression section are spring loaded,

which means that they work in the optimumposition to assure a high quality result. The

compression ensures that the glue is spread

n

Running the case with the long side leading enables the

glue nozzles to work as efficiently as possible to achieve a

precise and efficient bead of glue.

The packaging solution with short side leading forces the glue jets

to work with the minimum margin of tolerance, also the position

of the jets is penalised because of their elevated angle in respect

to the case. The result is a glue deposit which is often not suitable

for guaranteeing an adequate seal for the case.

objective is achieved through the use of brush-

less servo motors on the main assemblies.The Altair has been designed to operate on

a continuous 3-shift basis in high pressure

production environments.

Therefore, we use oversized components,

particularly on the chain transmissions. Self-

lubricating chains eliminate the risk of cases

being contaminated by grease or oil and also

reduces the cleaning required to remove dirt

caused by the mixture of oil and cardboard

dust.

The Altair can pack numerous types of

container (plastic, glass, round, square, oval,triangular etc.) Our designers pay particular

attention to the types of container being

handled in order to avoid breakages or damage

to the labels and to maintain the highest

quality standards of the product.

CMEs first wraparound

case packer model came outin 1964 and was installed

years ahead of rival solutions. Since then,

Ocme has followed a programme of continual

development and improvement which has led

to the Altair range we have today. The Altair

is synonymous with wrap-around technology

and Ocme machines are known to be among

the most reliable, efficient and productive in

the world. This is a source of pride for Ocme

and also acts as a motivation to maintain an

exceptional level of quality throughout the life

of the equipment.

Container Infeed

Fundamental to the success of the machine is

the design of the infeed - to avoid blockages

in the flow of containers and to ensure smoothsize change-overs without the need to carry

out further adjustments. In this regard, the

Altair benefits from certain unique features

which enhance its operation: profiled guides

that are specially designed for each container

shape, flow regulation systems which prevent

jerky stops and starts, and a channelising

bridge which is only activated when a

blockage is apparent.

Product Selection

The aim is to select the necessary numberof containers, without them falling over or

being damaged, whilst minimising the amount

of time required for size change-overs. Two

servo motors, controlled by the PLC, are used

to separate the bottles (or containers) on the

Altair system. Changing the size, or format,

simply involves the substitution of the 4 finger

selecting bars if the diameter of the container

changes. For speed between 70 and 100 ppm

a double electronic system is provided (fingers

& counterfingers). With this double device the

speed vary from the infeed to the wrapping in3 steps:

This system allow:

Smooth passage between line speed and

wraparound packer speed allowing a wider

pitch of the machine

With a wider pitch the machine can work at

a lower relative speed with minimum stress.

Maximum stability of the container even atvery high speed.

Blank Magazine

This is the only area of the machine which

requires the presence of an operator. The

magazine therefore needs to be easilyaccessible and have a high capacity. The

standard capacity on the Altair range is

approximately 600 blanks; the magazine is

positioned at a comfortable height for the

operator which does not put him at risk of a

working injury or strain (the operator is typically

required to lift about 5,000 Kg of banks in

8 hours). There is the option to completely

avoid manual handling of the blanks by fitting

a robotised system, designed to lift the blanks

directly from the pallet that arrives from the

board supplier. This increases the capacity ofthe magazine to about 1,000 blanks.

Blank Dispenser

The dispenser is the assembly dedicated to

feeding the blanks and the aim here is to

carry out this function as simply and reliably

as possible, avoiding wherever possible

complications in the system. The Altair

dispenser has continuous control over the

position of the blanks, thanks to a photocell

which allows perfect synchronization with the

introduction system. The dispenser is fittedwith high friction draw belts which ensure

maximum long-term reliability, even with high

production volumes, avoiding the problems

caused by the now obsolete suction cup

systems. The belts are cleaned periodically by

an automatic brush system, which rids them

of any dust and ink left by the printing on the

blanks.

13Coupling of containers blanks

The aim is to guarantee the coupling of the

containers to the blank without knocking the

containers in any way and avoiding breakages

or damage; furthermore the set of containers

needs to be simultaneously held together on

all four sides without any of the containers

falling or the collation coming apart. On the

Altair machine, the position of the blank and

the containers is controlled electronically,

so as to ensure that they run at exactly the

same pace. The parameters for the different

configurations are automatically set by the

programme and the wrapping mechanism is

designed to support the primary containers on

all four sides.

Closing and sealing

The objective here is to achieve the highest

quality standard for the finished case, while

making the case as compact as possible and

rationalising the use of glue. The Altair uses

mechanical devices to close the side and

upper flaps. They enable active pressure to be

exerted on the flaps themselves, thus making

the closing operation a lot more reliable. The

glue nozzles are mounted in a perpendicular

position in respect to the jets point of impact;

this compares to other types of system which

have to emit a jet at a very tight angle in a

reduced time and space from more than one

position. Such designs are detrimental to

jet quality and the subsequent compression

/ sealing of the flaps; the glue deposited

in this way is often distributed in uneven

concentrated spots or stretched in a single

filament. In both these cases the glue is not

diffused correctly and therefore the adhesive

surface is vastly inferior compared with the

OCME system. The lateral compression guides

are divided into sections and manufactured in

a material with a low coefficient of friction;

they are spring-mounted in order to achieve

a continuous and homogeneous positive

pressure on the flaps when the case passes

through the compression section. As the height

of the case varies, the compression guides

adapt to work in the best possible position.

To offer extra efficiency and autonomy,

an extra reservoir for the hot-melt glue is

available. When a minimum level is reached

in the main tank, it is automatically topped up

from the reservoir.

Partitions

In some circumstances it is necessary to

provide further protection to the product inside

the case. Cardboard partitions are used for

this and they are inserted during the machine

operating cycle.

The Altair is able to handle both kinds of

protection technology available: traditional

partitions and pre-formed partitions. The

first type, often manufactured in corrugated

cardboard, offer increased resistance against

knocks and are therefore recommended for

products which have to be transported over

long distances, such as, for example, goods

destined for export. The traditional partitions

are fed from various insertion magazines

that are appropriately placed along the case

packaging line.

The pre-formed partitions use low-cost, pre-

assembled, solid pressed cardboard, which

protect the containers and also their labels

from abrasion. The pre-formed insertion

system consists of a side loader, readily

accessible for re-fill, and a 3-axis robot which

picks the partition from the magazine, opens it

and then places it between the containers as

they run down the line.

Format Change

Format change has been the subject of intense

rationalisation analysis in order to achieve

the best overall result. For this reason we

turned to an electronic solution in order to

simplify the machine functions, to reduce

the number of components and to eliminate

potential problems. We opted for a step-by-

step guided procedure, which can be followed

by a single person without any special training

(including temporary and seasonal workers)

with parts which can be easily identified via

colour/number coding. Once the automatic

change has been put into effect, the Altair can

go straight into full production without the

need for fine-tuning, because it is impossible

to make errors of adjustment or misunderstand

the instructions.

As an option, the Altair can be fitted with a PC

which guides the operator through the various

operations using a personalised procedure.

This makes the format change procedure much

simpler to follow (even for the least expert of

operators), as the operations are carried out in

the right sequence.

tional insertion partitions.

Wraparound case packing and Altair, the perfect

combination to cut your costs

A truly efficient and rational system can only be achievedthrough a deep understanding of the packaging sector and the

technology applied to it.

s we have already described in preceding chapters, the choice of wraparound case packing has

the immediate advantage of lower production costs, in addition to the particular benefits which

are exclusively on offer with the OCME Altair system. Unlike alternative packaging solutions,

only one operator is required to manage the Altair wraparound case packer; the fact that the

machine operates totally unaided means that the operator is only required to

load the blank magazine and other consumable materials (such as glue). Apart

from the reduction in labour costs, there is also the benefit of a reduction in the

cost of raw materials, in particular glue and glass. Indeed, perhaps it is the glue

which offers the greatest cost saving on the Altair: not only is a smaller quantityrequired because of the revolutionary technique of forming the cases with the

long side leading, but also the quality of sealing the case is higher in comparison

to other solutions. The possibility of using lighter glass for containers should also

be taken into account when comparing the American case packing system, as the

greater compactness of the products lessens the risk of breakages. The OCME

range of Altair wraparound case packers is noted for its high quality standard.

This has been achieved through excellence in design, our insight into the needs

of the industry and the choice of high quality components used to build the

machines. This last item offers one of the greatest cost savings. Poor machine

performance costs far more than high quality components and has a negative

bearing on production programmes. Customers using the OCME Altair can stay

focused on their business while knowing that they have the most efficient and

reliable machines available; machines which satisfy the demands placed on them

by todays modern distribution channels. A further economic benefit is seen in

the re-designing of assemblies and components to offer commonality of parts across the whole OCME range, which

enhances stock availability. The consequences of this are shorter delivery times and more efficient maintenance.

ven though Altair wraparound case

packers are primarily considered as

an important tool for Production andLogistics departments, they can also

be seen as an excellent aid for marketing. The varied

aspects of the Altair machine combine to make an

important resource to meet the growing demands of

modern distribution. Thanks to its flexibility, the Altair

system can create varied and innovative packaging. An

ample surface area is available for graphics, enabling

the user to project its image on the case to the final

consumer, whilst at the same time making sure that

the goods arrive intact to the distributor. The Altair

also has the ability to produce cases which are easy

to open, it can produce trays and other kinds of specialpackaging to greatly extend its original role of simply

providing secondary packaging to that of providing a

edisplay, which is simple but at the same time functional

and economical. The wide choice of board available

varies from micro-flute corrugated cardboard to high-resistance 5 mm card. Interesting applications can be

achieved by combining different types of card, such as

a board consisting of normal corrugated cardboard to

which off-set printing is applied; in this case a surprising

level of graphic quality can be achieved, thanks to

high definition images of continuous tone. Many

manufacturers see wrap-around cases as a useful way of

enhancing their brand; there are benefits to the product

at the point of sale, the pack can be made easier to

manage by perforated handles and it gives the distributor

the possibility of displaying the secondary packaging

directly, so drastically reducing the manual activityinvolved in restacking shelves.

OCME and secondary packaging

We believe that it is our duty, as a supplier of packaging technology,

not just to install a machine to answer an immediate problem, but

also to offer a vision ofthe future of packagingand to come up

with solutions which anticipate future developments. This has beenour mission since 1954. Since then, OCME has established itself

as a world leader, and, particularly in secondary packaging and

wrap-around case packers, has achieved some ofthe milestonesin the history of packaging. We have presented our experienceand our vision of secondary packaging in this document, placing the

Altair range and wrap-around case packers in context. Discussion

of OCME case packers is not the same as talking about case packers
