How Our Box Sealers Elevate Your Business' Efficiency

How Our Box Sealers Elevate Your Business' Efficiency

If you are manufacturing products that require packaging, the packaging process for your product determines the scalability and efficiency. Some manufacturers tape them by hand while others use some form of automation. You may not realize it, but you may not be operating at maximum capacity. Every second counts when you have boxes to ship—and a box sealer can save you time and money, helping your business ultimately thrive.

Benefits of Box Sealers

While you may think glue is a messier, more high-maintenance option for sealing packages, it's actually much more beneficial. Glue is cheaper than tape, and doesn't require the same down time to change out the tape head. Glued packages are harder for thieves to break apart to steal items. They're also more visually appealing without the tape plastered on the box, which could cover your graphics or other important information.

Box sealer machines, also called case sealer machines, are unique in their ability to provide their customers with a high-quality, mistake-free glued case. They seamlessly square the boxes for sealing, heat the glue just right so there's no mess or charring, then apply the glue and close the flaps so the adhesion fits perfectly. Our automatic case sealers can seal at minimum four cases a minute—faster than any human could and error-free.

The Astro 817 Case Sealer Machine

Astro Packaging offers two main types of box sealers. Our signature machine, the Astro 817, currently leads the industry as the number one choice for sealing boxes. Built on a powder coated, mild steel frame, this machine is semi-automatic and uses a bottom belt drive. You can build it as a top only or as a top and bottom case sealer, sealing up to 15 cases per minute!

The defining feature of this automatic case sealer is its versatility. It can accommodate multiple box sizes with easy change over. All you have to do is adjust the machine via two hand cranks for case height and width. The operator interface screen lets you select and store up to 10 different patterns for each box. Changing from one box size to another takes no longer than a minute or two.

Model 34B Side & End Case Sealer

This case sealer machine is particularly helpful for those who manufacture long, square products, such as bed frame and book shelf manufacturers. It's perfect for sealing the long edge of boxes.

Using a side belt, the machine runs the case alongside the glue gun to seal the long side flap of the box. By using side belts, there are no flight bars or side lugs to cause timing problems. This avoids any problems with jams and spills, unlike machines with large bars or lugs that can tear through the case and product.

There's also no bottom belt due to the wide side belts and large HP motor. This eliminates the need to clean a bottom belt of random glue spray. Like the 817-L16, this box sealer can also quickly change sizes to accommodate different sized boxes.
