MG America (PELV booth N-9707) will feature MG2’s new GSL20 horizontal case packer, complementing the recently introduced GTL30 vertical case packer. Both are mechatronic designs automated by ELAU’s PacDrive system and designed for maximum reliability, high speed, ease of use and maintainability.

Advanced servo automation of the main machine movements assures positive case handling, reliable opening and sealing at speeds up to 20 cpm depending on format. In total, 6 PacDrive servo axes are controlled by the company’s economical new PacDrive C200 automation controller.

Reflecting MG2’s 6% annual reinvestment of revenue into R&D, this advanced design requires no size parts when size changeover occurs. Adjustments are made using a combination of control panel inputs and handwheels. Only the GSL20’s product infeed pusher plate and hopper must be replaced to meet customer product configurations.

Ideally suited for pharmaceutical and cosmetics packaging, the GSL20 can be equipped with either a color touchscreen HMI or with an industrial PC running Windows XP and CFR 21 Part 11 conforming MG2 software.
