A seasonal packaging company recently called Glue Machinery for a hot melt system to seal the bottom of cases they were currently producing. They needed to erect and glue 60,000 box bottoms in a three month period. This was a daunting task that the company dreaded as this erecting process was expensive, slow, and low quality box bottoms were encountered in their initial process.

Glue Machinery Corporation recommended the Ergo Erector instead of just a hot melt system. The Ergo Erector allowed them to quickly square the boxes, apply the adhesive to the minor flaps, and compress the major flaps. This equipment worked so well that the second hot melt system the customer insisted they needed was not purchased. The customer was also glad to report that they went ahead to retool their plant due to the major efficiency gains realized by using the Glue Machinery Corporation Ergo Erector.

The Ergo Erector™ simlifies box erecting, improves package quality, accelerates the box building process, and reduces adhesive consumption by as much as 50%.

The operator can easily square boxes by sliding them over the mandrel, folding in the minor flaps, applying the hot melt to the minor flaps, compressing the major flaps against the mandrel, and lastly sealing the case bottom permanently. The mandrel system insures that the minor flaps do not deflect away from the major flaps when compressed and that maximum bond is achieved immediately.

The complete Ergo Erector™ system includes steel workstation base, adjustable height mandrel, mandrel specific to your box or boxes, high volume hot melt tank, hose and gun, welded steel hot melt tank stand, adjustable boom, hose cradle and tool balancer.

Assembly is very easy typically taking one hour.
