econdary packaging was originally developed to protect the product, or to
make it easier to hold several items together. In fact, these features remain
important for the packaging industry today, but in addition we now have
to consider other factors such as marketing, logistics and, in some cases,
the technological process. Nowadays in particular, secondary packaging is often required to
carry graphical images and therefore serves as an important
medium for brand identity during the distribution chain.
Quite often the secondary packaging case itself becomes
the sales unit and it must therefore be sufficiently
manageable, robust and attractive to the consumer, whilst
being able to carry all the relevant product information.
Some products need to be protected from light and heat
and both of these requirements can be fulfilled by having a
secondary protective covering.
At present, most products in the beverage, wine & spirits,
petrochemical, edible oils, food and pet food sectors are
contained within one of three types of secondary packaging:
cardboard cases, shrink-film and rigid plastic crates. We
will concentrate on the first of these by il lustrating the main
concepts and by explaining the technology associated with
wraparound case packing equipment.
Case packing offers important advantages; for example,
it protects the products inside the case from mechanical stress, abrasions and knocks. A
cardboard case offers far greater security than a shrinkwrapped pack and, compared to
a rigid crate, it weighs less and takes up less space. Furthermore, case-packed products
are usually more stable and are therefore not subjected to the movement associated
with products that are packed within the rigid structure of a crate. The thickness of the
cardboard acts as a shock absorber for the product within and therefore minimizes impactsduring movement of the case. A cardboard case can be printed, just like shrink-film, and
offers an ample flat area on which to carry a decorative graphical image. This feature is
particularly useful from a marketing point of view, as it creates a means of communication
with the consumer and distributor. Unlike crate-packed goods, products that are packed
into cardboard cases are less subject to external factors such as light and dust these can
be important issues in many market sectors. Apart from this, a cardboard case is easier to
handle than a shrinkwrapped pack, as it is more stable and less susceptible to damage; a
cardboard case is lighter than a crate, therefore it requires less motorised force to move it.
The use of a cardboard case also avoids the logistical problems associated with returning
empty crates.

One important observation should be made
immediately: wraparound technology offersmore production capacity in a smaller space,
but not just this one machine against three
means lower installation and maintenance
costs. It should also be noted that the
deployment of personnel on each system
is very different. American case packing
machines require a full-time operator, while
wraparound packers only need an operator to
feed the consumable materials - an activity
which can be automated to a large extent.
A single operator can therefore cover two
wraparound machines on the same linewithout assistance from other personnel.
Another advantage of the wraparound system
is that the cardboard case is designed to fit
precisely the set of containers, making it
extremely compact. The American case has to
be slightly bigger in size than the containers
which are inserted into it. This means that it
is often essential to use partitions between
the containers to protect the product and avoid
damaging the labels. Finally, it is important
to point out that on the wraparound system,
the weight of the glass (in containers such asbottles) can sometimes be reduced because
of the greater protection and the compact
packing it offers.
Technology compared: wraparound case
or American case?
ase packing technology
is divided into two mainsystems: Wraparound case
packing and the top-opening
American case. The difference between the
two concepts is very simple: the American
case is erected prior to being filled with the
product, whereas the wraparound system
forms and seals the case automatically around
the product.
The two types of case may appear similar and
the material used is often the same, but there
are significant differences which should be
carefully considered before deciding on onesystem or the other.
The forming of an American case requires the
use of three machines: the first erects the box,
the second inserts the product into the box and
the third closes and seals it.
The wraparound system on the other hand
uses only one machine, the wraparound
packer, which begins with a flat cardboard
blank that is wrapped around the products and
sealed with jets of glue. Thanks to this system
a single machine can reach a production
speed of 80 cases per minute, well beyondthe capabilities of American case packing
technology, while at the same time taking
up less space and offering lower complexity.

The American Case
The American Case involves the use of three
machines which serve to erect the box,
insert the bottles or other containers into it,
and finally to close up the case. The case is
normally fairly large in size in comparison to its
contents, and this can cause greater internal
instability. Partitions are often used to reduce
the risks of friction and breakage between thecontainers.
Wraparound Case
The pack obtained with the wrap-around
case packer is, as its name suggests, a piece
of cardboard wrapped around a group of
containers such as bottles, cans, multi-packs,
etc. The single machine deals with the entire
process; from the selection of the containers
right up to the closing of the box. The resulting
pack is very compact thanks to the reducedtolerances achieved through compression.

in a uniform fashion over a wide area, offering
maximum resistance once the case is sealed.
The Ocme solution is more efficient since
it also requires a smaller quantity of glue
which, as we will see later on, has important
implications for safeguarding the environment
and also for company overheads.The solution of forming the case with the long
side leading, combined with OCMES guide
system, guarantees that the finished case is as
compact as possible.
The most striking feature however, of this
solution, is the quality of the final pack. With
long side leading technology, case folding
is achieved using motorised drives and not
just fixed guides. In this way the cardboard
is forced against the product, guaranteeing
a much more compact pack. The long side
leading technique ensures that the containersare pushed against one another and this
avoids any looseness in the resulting case.
ot all manufacturers of
wraparound case packers use
the same working logic. Ocme
in particular has developed
its own solution for gluing the pack with the
long side of the case leading. What does
this mean? A cardboard case is a rectangularblock, the sides of which (seen from above)
are not equal. A case can run through the case
packing machine with either the long or the
short side leading.
OCMEs solution guarantees that the side
flaps are closed as securely as possible with
a jet of glue emitted from suitably positioned
spray guns.
Apart from the facility to vary the case
dimensions, the lateral guides on the side
compression section are spring loaded,
which means that they work in the optimumposition to assure a high quality result. The
compression ensures that the glue is spread

Running the case with the long side leading enables the
glue nozzles to work as efficiently as possible to achieve a

The packaging solution with short side leading forces the glue jets
to work with the minimum margin of tolerance, also the position
of the jets is penalised because of their elevated angle in respect
to the case. The result is a glue deposit which is often not suitable
for guaranteeing an adequate seal for the case.

Altair, the synthesis of over 40 years experience
in wrap-around technology
Figure 4 The transmission chains

OCME Secondary packaging
objective is achieved through the use of brush-
less servo motors on the main assemblies.The Altair has been designed to operate on
a continuous 3-shift basis in high pressure
production environments.
Therefore, we use oversized components,
particularly on the chain transmissions. Self-
lubricating chains eliminate the risk of cases
being contaminated by grease or oil and also
reduces the cleaning required to remove dirt
caused by the mixture of oil and cardboard
dust.
The Altair can pack numerous types of
container (plastic, glass, round, square, oval,triangular etc.) Our designers pay particular
attention to the types of container being
handled in order to avoid breakages or damage
to the labels and to maintain the highest
quality standards of the product.
CMEs first wraparound
case packer model came outin 1964 and was installed
years ahead of rival solutions. Since then,
Ocme has followed a programme of continual
development and improvement which has led
to the Altair range we have today. The Altair
is synonymous with wrap-around technology
and Ocme machines are known to be among
the most reliable, efficient and productive in
the world. This is a source of pride for Ocme
and also acts as a motivation to maintain an
exceptional level of quality throughout the life
of the equipment.

Container Infeed
Fundamental to the success of the machine is
the design of the infeed - to avoid blockages
in the flow of containers and to ensure smoothsize change-overs without the need to carry
out further adjustments. In this regard, the
Altair benefits from certain unique features
which enhance its operation: profiled guides
that are specially designed for each container
shape, flow regulation systems which prevent
jerky stops and starts, and a channelising
bridge which is only activated when a
blockage is apparent.
Product Selection
The aim is to select the necessary numberof containers, without them falling over or
being damaged, whilst minimising the amount
of time required for size change-overs. Two
servo motors, controlled by the PLC, are used
to separate the bottles (or containers) on the
Altair system. Changing the size, or format,
simply involves the substitution of the 4 finger
selecting bars if the diameter of the container
changes. For speed between 70 and 100 ppm
a double electronic system is provided (fingers
& counterfingers). With this double device the
speed vary from the infeed to the wrapping in3 steps:
Infeed
Electronic ngers selection (2 brushless motors)
2nd electronic counter-ngers selection
(2 brushless)
This system allow:
Smooth passage between line speed and
wraparound packer speed allowing a wider
pitch of the machine
With a wider pitch the machine can work at
a lower relative speed with minimum stress.
Maximum stability of the container even atvery high speed.
Blank Magazine
This is the only area of the machine which
requires the presence of an operator. The
magazine therefore needs to be easilyaccessible and have a high capacity. The
standard capacity on the Altair range is
approximately 600 blanks; the magazine is
positioned at a comfortable height for the
operator which does not put him at risk of a
working injury or strain (the operator is typically
required to lift about 5,000 Kg of banks in
8 hours). There is the option to completely
avoid manual handling of the blanks by fitting
a robotised system, designed to lift the blanks
directly from the pallet that arrives from the
board supplier. This increases the capacity ofthe magazine to about 1,000 blanks.
Blank Dispenser
The dispenser is the assembly dedicated to
feeding the blanks and the aim here is to
carry out this function as simply and reliably
as possible, avoiding wherever possible
complications in the system. The Altair
dispenser has continuous control over the
position of the blanks, thanks to a photocell
which allows perfect synchronization with the
introduction system. The dispenser is fittedwith high friction draw belts which ensure
maximum long-term reliability, even with high
production volumes, avoiding the problems
caused by the now obsolete suction cup
systems. The belts are cleaned periodically by
an automatic brush system, which rids them
of any dust and ink left by the printing on the
blanks.

13Coupling of containers blanks
The aim is to guarantee the coupling of the
containers to the blank without knocking the
containers in any way and avoiding breakages
or damage; furthermore the set of containers
needs to be simultaneously held together on
all four sides without any of the containers
falling or the collation coming apart. On the
Altair machine, the position of the blank and
the containers is controlled electronically,
so as to ensure that they run at exactly the
same pace. The parameters for the different
configurations are automatically set by the
programme and the wrapping mechanism is
designed to support the primary containers on
all four sides.
Closing and sealing
The objective here is to achieve the highest
quality standard for the finished case, while
making the case as compact as possible and
rationalising the use of glue. The Altair uses
mechanical devices to close the side and
upper flaps. They enable active pressure to be
exerted on the flaps themselves, thus making
the closing operation a lot more reliable. The
glue nozzles are mounted in a perpendicular
position in respect to the jets point of impact;
this compares to other types of system which
have to emit a jet at a very tight angle in a
reduced time and space from more than one
position. Such designs are detrimental to
jet quality and the subsequent compression
/ sealing of the flaps; the glue deposited
in this way is often distributed in uneven
concentrated spots or stretched in a single
filament. In both these cases the glue is not
diffused correctly and therefore the adhesive
surface is vastly inferior compared with the
OCME system. The lateral compression guides
are divided into sections and manufactured in
a material with a low coefficient of friction;
they are spring-mounted in order to achieve
a continuous and homogeneous positive
pressure on the flaps when the case passes
through the compression section. As the height
of the case varies, the compression guides
adapt to work in the best possible position.
To offer extra efficiency and autonomy,
an extra reservoir for the hot-melt glue is
available. When a minimum level is reached
in the main tank, it is automatically topped up
from the reservoir.

Partitions
In some circumstances it is necessary to
provide further protection to the product inside
the case. Cardboard partitions are used for
this and they are inserted during the machine
operating cycle.
The Altair is able to handle both kinds of
protection technology available: traditional
partitions and pre-formed partitions. The
first type, often manufactured in corrugated
cardboard, offer increased resistance against
knocks and are therefore recommended for
products which have to be transported over
long distances, such as, for example, goods
destined for export. The traditional partitions
are fed from various insertion magazines
that are appropriately placed along the case
packaging line.
The pre-formed partitions use low-cost, pre-
assembled, solid pressed cardboard, which
protect the containers and also their labels
from abrasion. The pre-formed insertion
system consists of a side loader, readily
accessible for re-fill, and a 3-axis robot which
picks the partition from the magazine, opens it
and then places it between the containers as
they run down the line.
Format Change
Format change has been the subject of intense
rationalisation analysis in order to achieve
the best overall result. For this reason we
turned to an electronic solution in order to
simplify the machine functions, to reduce
the number of components and to eliminate
potential problems. We opted for a step-by-
step guided procedure, which can be followed
by a single person without any special training
(including temporary and seasonal workers)
with parts which can be easily identified via
colour/number coding. Once the automatic
change has been put into effect, the Altair can
go straight into full production without the
need for fine-tuning, because it is impossible
to make errors of adjustment or misunderstand
the instructions.
As an option, the Altair can be fitted with a PC
which guides the operator through the various
operations using a personalised procedure.
This makes the format change procedure much
simpler to follow (even for the least expert of
operators), as the operations are carried out in
the right sequence.

tional insertion partitions.

Wraparound case packing and Altair, the perfect
combination to cut your costs
A truly efficient and rational system can only be achievedthrough a deep understanding of the packaging sector and the
technology applied to it.
s we have already described in preceding chapters, the choice of wraparound case packing has
the immediate advantage of lower production costs, in addition to the particular benefits which
are exclusively on offer with the OCME Altair system. Unlike alternative packaging solutions,
only one operator is required to manage the Altair wraparound case packer; the fact that the
machine operates totally unaided means that the operator is only required to
load the blank magazine and other consumable materials (such as glue). Apart
from the reduction in labour costs, there is also the benefit of a reduction in the
cost of raw materials, in particular glue and glass. Indeed, perhaps it is the glue
which offers the greatest cost saving on the Altair: not only is a smaller quantityrequired because of the revolutionary technique of forming the cases with the
long side leading, but also the quality of sealing the case is higher in comparison
to other solutions. The possibility of using lighter glass for containers should also
be taken into account when comparing the American case packing system, as the
greater compactness of the products lessens the risk of breakages. The OCME
range of Altair wraparound case packers is noted for its high quality standard.
This has been achieved through excellence in design, our insight into the needs
of the industry and the choice of high quality components used to build the
machines. This last item offers one of the greatest cost savings. Poor machine
performance costs far more than high quality components and has a negative
bearing on production programmes. Customers using the OCME Altair can stay
focused on their business while knowing that they have the most efficient and
reliable machines available; machines which satisfy the demands placed on them
by todays modern distribution channels. A further economic benefit is seen in
the re-designing of assemblies and components to offer commonality of parts across the whole OCME range, which
enhances stock availability. The consequences of this are shorter delivery times and more efficient maintenance.

OCME Secondary packaging
ven though Altair wraparound case
packers are primarily considered as
an important tool for Production andLogistics departments, they can also
be seen as an excellent aid for marketing. The varied
aspects of the Altair machine combine to make an
important resource to meet the growing demands of
modern distribution. Thanks to its flexibility, the Altair
system can create varied and innovative packaging. An
ample surface area is available for graphics, enabling
the user to project its image on the case to the final
consumer, whilst at the same time making sure that
the goods arrive intact to the distributor. The Altair
also has the ability to produce cases which are easy
to open, it can produce trays and other kinds of specialpackaging to greatly extend its original role of simply
providing secondary packaging to that of providing a
edisplay, which is simple but at the same time functional
and economical. The wide choice of board available
varies from micro-flute corrugated cardboard to high-resistance 5 mm card. Interesting applications can be
achieved by combining different types of card, such as
a board consisting of normal corrugated cardboard to
which off-set printing is applied; in this case a surprising
level of graphic quality can be achieved, thanks to
high definition images of continuous tone. Many
manufacturers see wrap-around cases as a useful way of
enhancing their brand; there are benefits to the product
at the point of sale, the pack can be made easier to
manage by perforated handles and it gives the distributor
the possibility of displaying the secondary packaging
directly, so drastically reducing the manual activityinvolved in restacking shelves.

rationalising the use of raw materials
coincides with substantial cost savings.As already evident, the considerablereduction in the quantity of gluenecessary for sealing the packs (nowonly 4.5 g of glue per case) representsreduced reliance on a petroleumderivative, and also, albeit to a lesserextent, a saving in the energy requiredto keep the glue heated to a certaintemperature. Thanks to the new blankdispensing system, it is quite possible touse recycled cardboard blanks, without
encountering the previous problems ofsurface dirt and abrasions which used tocause stoppages and premature wear onsome components.

OCME and secondary packaging
We believe that it is our duty, as a supplier of packaging technology,
not just to install a machine to answer an immediate problem, but
also to offer a vision ofthe future of packagingand to come up
with solutions which anticipate future developments. This has beenour mission since 1954. Since then, OCME has established itself
as a world leader, and, particularly in secondary packaging and
wrap-around case packers, has achieved some ofthe milestonesin the history of packaging. We have presented our experienceand our vision of secondary packaging in this document, placing the
Altair range and wrap-around case packers in context. Discussion
of OCME case packers is not the same as talking about case packers
in general, since it is an elite system of highly efficient machines
with high productivity, a system developed to create the backbone
of our customers production department. OCME has also worked
on a crucial aspect which is ultimately the most important one for
our customers: Total Cost of Ownership(T.C.O.)In this publication we trust that we have demonstrated to you how
one of the best packaging systems in the world can also be highly
favourable from an economic point of view.
