With semi automatic equipment, the operator typically fills and loads a box at the entrance to the case sealer; the box may or may not have the bottom flaps previously closed. The operator closes the top flaps and feeds the box in or through a machine which automatically applies the closure. This helps save time and controls the application of the closure materials such as box sealing tape
Fully automatededit
Fully automatic equipment is available which does not require an operator. All functions, including closing the flaps, can be automated.
Otheredit
Case sealers can also be categorized as either adjustable to fit production runs of a uniform box size or random, capable of handling a mixed variety of box sizes without machine adjustment.
Several machine design options have been developed.[1][2][3][4]
