Goodman Packaging Equipment is the world’s first machine builder to apply the new PacDrive iSH Series Intelligent Servo Module from ELAU in a machine introduced at last fall’s PACK EXPO.

Goodman applied this all-new configuration of proven servo technology to its fully automatic ‘Three-in-One’ Case and Tray Former/Packer/Sealer. The system erects an RSC case, top loads up to 100 flexible or rigid packages per minute, closes and applies a hot melt adhesive to seal the case.

The ‘Three-in-One’ is so-called because it integrates all these proven Goodman packaging modules within a unified frame to provide smooth, synchronized packaging in minimal floor space.

The self-contained servo modules simplify mounting, reduce component counts and cabling, and reduce electrical cabinet size and footprint compared to conventional servo motors and drives. Instead of a cabinet filled with servo drives and cable connections, only a single PacDrive automation controller and power supply are located in the electrical cabinet.
