CZH Inline Tray and Wraparound Case Packer

The CZH is a compact inline cardboard tray packer with horizontal collation and sideloading. It forms a tray from a blank, loads cans, bottles, or cartons — including unstable containers with a front stabilizer — and seals with a Nordson hot melt system. Discharge is built to feed an Autopack SIT shrink wrapper so the line is one tray-and-shrink cell.

About 12–20 trays per minute, stainless, Allen-Bradley, Autopack’s smaller intermittent footprint (up to ~15% less floor than a typical tray packer in this class). Same frame can run high-sided trays or full wraparound cases when you want board instead of film.

  • Tray-and-shrink of bottles, cans, cartons — CZH + SIT

  • Unstable containers that need a sideload + stabilizer (not a CLM flight bar)

  • Straight-line floors (inline infeed and discharge)

  • Wraparound cases on the same machine (upgrade / option) when plastic film is not wanted

  • Single products or multi-packs (multi-lane infeed)

How it runs (tray-shrink cell)

  • Product accumulates / lanes (optional splitter).
  • Horizontal collation; sideload onto the blank; stabilizer holds tippy bottles.
  • Tray (or wraparound case) folds; Nordson glue.
  • Loaded pack ejects straight into SIT.
  • SIT welding bar sleeves the tray; tunnel shrinks; palletizer.
