2018 LANTECH C400 AUTOMATIC CASE ERECTOR WITH BOTTOM TAPER

The Lantech C400 is an automatic machine that opens flat corrugated box blanks, squares them into 90-degree boxes, and uses a built-in bottom tape head to seal the bottom flaps. It handles up to 8 cases per minute and stores up to 200 case blanks in an ergonomic magazine. Key Features Square Case Control: Uses 8 vacuum suction cups and stationary flap folding to lock 90-degree angles before the box moves. Bottom Taper: Integrates a standard tape head (often 75mm / 3-inch) to seal the bottom centerline automatically. Capacity: Holds a 200-case blank magazine that can be refilled while the machine runs. Size Range: Built to accommodate larger case widths (minimum 7.875″ L x 5.875″ W x 5.875″ H up to maximum 24.375″ L x 17.75″ W x 25.5″ H). A Lantech C400 Case Erector with Bottom Taper transforms flat cardboard blanks into fully shaped boxes, seals the bottom with tape, and prepares them for product filling. Here is exactly what it does step-by-step during a single cycle: The Step-by-Step Process Pulls Blanks: A vacuum suction arm pulls a flat, collapsed cardboard box out of the storage magazine. Squares the Box: The machine forces the cardboard open into a perfect 90-degree square shape and holds it rigidly. Folds Bottom Flaps: Built-in mechanical folders fold the minor and major bottom flaps inward while holding the box perfectly square. Applies Bottom Tape: A pusher drives the box over a tape head, which applies packaging tape along the bottom centerline to seal it shut. Discharges for Filling: The completed, open-top box is pushed out onto a conveyor, ready for workers or automated machines to drop products inside. Why the “Perfect Square” and “Bottom Taper” Matter In standard case erectors, boxes can warp or become “parallelograms” if the cardboard is stiff or thin. The C400 uses a patented mechanical system to lock the box at perfect 90-degree angles. This ensures the bottom tape is applied perfectly straight, preventing jams on your conveyor lines or in your down-line case sealers.
