What is a crate erector?

A crate erector is a type of End-of-Line machinery that automatically unfolds folding crates. This compact machine is easy to integrate into a total production line and is increasingly used in the food industry and retail, because folding crates are increasingly used there due to the logistical advantages.

How does a crate erector work?

Folded crates are fed into the compact machine. One by one, crates are placed on a tilting unit, so that the crates unfold automatically while turning. After unfolding, the crates are ready to be filled, for example by connecting a case packer. A sensor ensures that bad crates are automatically removed from the system.

Automatic pallet infeed

Our crate erectors can be equipped with an automatic pallet infeed installation. This allows for pallet placement in the front of the crate erector using a forklift. Then, the stacks of folded crates are automatically pushed into the machine. To take advantage of this option, your crates need to have the right orientation on the pallet.
