Automatically selects the right-sized box.
The E-CO Flex standalone case erecting and forming module is designed to kick-off the packaging process seamlessly. In its standard configuration, the machine boasts a 12-cassette magazine, the widest available in the market, capable of accommodating various case formats.
The packaging process is streamlined by the machine, which automatically selects the optimal box size, erects it, forms it, and securely tapes it at the bottom. This results in the operator being presented with an open-faced box ready for product insertion.
Bottom taping can be carried out with sustainable Water-Activated Tape (WAT).

Two modules, one machine: endless configurations.
The case forming and case closing modules can operate as standalone equipment, adapting to any plant configuration.
WMS INTEGRATED PUT-TO-WALL CONFIGURATION
The E-CO Flex Forming case magazine offers versatile erecting capabilities in various formats, allowing for the provision of different box sizes to slipways. These boxes are then made accessible for pick-to-box operations, where operators gather multiple boxes onto a cart, promptly placing each picked product into the corresponding shipping box.
WMS INTEGRATED TOTE-BASED CONFIGURATION
The E-CO Flex Forming module forms, closes and divertes to the two manual packing stations.
The right-size box for the order can be selected using the customer’s WMS or measuring the volume required for the products with a dimensioning system.
After the boxes are filled, both packers take advantage of the E-CO Flex Closing module with down-sizing capabilities.
CASE ERECTING FOR PICK-TO-BOX CONFIGURATION
The E-CO Flex Forming case magazine offers versatile erecting capabilities in various formats, allowing for the provision of different box sizes to slipways. These boxes are then made accessible for pick-to-box operations, where operators gather multiple boxes onto a cart, promptly placing each picked product into the corresponding shipping box.
CASE ERECTING FOR RIGHT-SIZE BOX SELECTION BY OPERATOR
If the customer’s WMS does not have precise product cubing data or if the process requires operator involvement in selecting the right-size box, the E-CO Flex proves highly beneficial. Utilizing the carton magazine, various box sizes are pre-assembled and directed onto separate slipways. Each slipway corresponds to a different box size, allowing operators to visually select the most appropriate case for each incoming order.
