Tray Erectors
Tray Erectors automate the process of constructing trays from flat blanks, significantly streamlining production lines by eliminating manual assembly. By swiftly and accurately folding and securing the blanks into trays, they not only enhance the speed of packaging operations but also improve consistency and reliability across the board. Designed to cater to a variety of tray designs and sizes, Tray Erectors are versatile enough to meet the diverse needs of sectors such as food and beverage, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.
