“Rigorous’ ability to tailor the robot to our exact needs and make changes throughout the design and development stages was key to the final result. We couldn’t be happier.”
Pedro Pacheco
Turn up your throughput
What’s faster, the Box Hopper or two hand loaders?
Clients have seen a 15% increase in their folder/gluer speeds when comparing the Box Hopper to manual loading operations – even with multiple operators.
That’s saving your staff from moving 4+ tons of boxes each hour.
It's all about uptime
Almost every folder gluer, whether on the corrugated side or on the folding carton side, is capable of outproducing anything. Until you can actually put automation on the front end and the back end of it, you’ll never really utilize your folder gluer. The machine itself is capable of running 60,000 to 70,000 an hour. Without automation, you’ll never be able to achieve those speeds. – Tom Fitzgerald, Koenig & Bauer
Tailored to your operations
Don’t change your entire process flow, let the robot work for you.
The Box Hopper is a prefeeding robot that can pick from one or multiple stacks, from a pallet, or directly off of the conveyor.
The Box Hopper comes with no-code configurations for a large range of flute and carton sizes.
