Vertical and horizontal cartoning, case erecting & packing, robotic pick & place – Nuspark (PELV Booth C-3535) does it all and more.

And they build customized solutions from pre-engineered packaging modules, a perfect fit for ELAU Intelligent Servo Module technology.

Nuspark management is utilizing PacDrive automation systems from ELAU (Booth S-5414) to eliminate the need for a PLC and take advantage of built-in packaging-specific functionalities for implementing robotic kinematics and servo collating belts with changeovers that are recipe driven from the operator panel.

Nuspark’s hallmark is exceptionally compact, efficient equipment based on inventive mechanical and servo-driven designs. For example, at 3’ x 3’, their vertical cartoner is the industry’s smallest. It is a rotary design with an 80 cpm output.

Their 25 cpm case erector/bottom sealer uses a mechanical opening technology instead of vacuum, allowing it to reliably run corrugate of any surface characteristic or quality. It features tool-less changeover and can be coupled with a gantry pick-and-place module and top sealing station.

Thanks to its highly compact gantry configuration, a 14 cpm palletizer takes up less than 6’ x 7’ of floor space, and is only 6’ tall – yet handles 4’ square pallets.

Integrating the equipment into a packaging system are Nuspark infeed systems that transport, collate, orient, buffer, stack and load all manner of products, gently and rapidly, to effectively accommodate even unstable or fragile items.
