Pack Expo 2023 Show Guide from Serpa

September 6, 2023

Serpa has a lot to show you at Pack Expo Las Vegas this year. Here’s a preview of what you can expect to see.

Booth 3433

Serpa, Quest, Texwrap, and CL&D have joined forces to create an integrated line featuring filled canisters being tray packed, overwrapped and palletized. This line is perfect for packaging applications common in the nutraceutical and food industries.

A Serpa FG1 top load tray/carton former that will be forming trays from corrugated blanks. From there, trays are conveyed to a Quest QP200-SA2 case packer that will take canisters labeled by CL&D and place them in trays. Next, trays containing 12 canisters each are wrapped on a Tekkra T-1030 in-line shrink bundler system from Texwrap. Finally, a Quest Bot Bot QB320 space-saving robotic palletizer picks up wrapped trays and places them on a floor-level pallet. This packaging line at PACK EXPO 2023 is a great demonstration of the type of integrated packaging solution ProMach and its brands can develop to meet the full scope of automation needs of customers.
