Spinning off the design concept of the E-CO FLEX platform, the E-CO Flex XL is a modular solution specifically designed to process big size cases from case erecting and forming up through closing.
Spinning off the design concept of the E-CO FLEX platform, the E-CO Flex XL is a modular solution specifically designed to process big size cases from case erecting and forming up through closing.
The E-CO Flex XL is a modular equipment designed with Intralogistics needs in mind, where box dimensions are significantly larger compared to those used in standard E-Commerce fulfillment. Just as for the E-CO FLEX concept, the platform is composed by two modules:
The E-CO FLEX XL not only processes larger case footprints but also handles small cases, maintaining the same minimum case dimensions as the standard E-CO FLEX.
Modular concept, sustainable features and high throughput are the heart of our technologies.
The E-CO FLEX XL FORMING is an advanced case erector able to erect multi-size FEFCO 201 and FEFCO 200 cases, compatible with both single- and double-wall cardboard; the machine automatically picks, erects, and forms right-sized cases based on cubic information received from the WMS.
Case magazine is made from 8 up to 16 cassettes; the XL boxes, which do not fit in the standard E-CO FLEX cassettes, are fed via external vertical magazines (up to 3), holding up to 170 boxes each.
The cassettes’ configuration can be customized combining the different sizes of cassettes.
Just like the standard version of the E-CO FLEX CLOSING module, the E-CO Flex XL completes the packing process by closing FEFCO 201 cases, up to 10 cases/minute.
The process includes case down-sizing if the machine detects extra void space that can be eliminated (up to 270 mm).
E-CO FLEX CLOSING XL can apply traditional pressure-sensitive tape or sustainable Water-Activated Tape (WAT).
The E-CO FLEX XL Closing module can be equipped, as option, with a Print & Apply labeller and quality inspection cameras to check flaps folding and taping.
