5 steps

How it works

Step 1

Box folding

The plano is taken from the plano store at long and short side with vacuum cups, positioned on a two-sided frame. This frame guarantees a fully square folding without friction between vacuum cup and plano.

Step 2

Bottom flap folding

While the box is in the squared position the bottom flaps are mechanically folded. After this, two side conveyors transport the box towards the bag inserting position where the bottom flaps are taped as well.

Step 3

Bag opening

During the box erecting cycle a prefabricated bag is picked up by a vacuum gripper. Thanks to the Easy Open system only one bag side is picked up while the other stays onto the bag store.

Step 4

Bag spreading

The spreading unit takes over the bag from the bag store. In a downward movement the two spreading plates place the bag tightly over the box corners.

Step 5

Bag inserting

While placing the bag, two folding bars move into the box to position the bag tightly in the box corners. In this way the amount of enclosed air between bag and box is minimized.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the CombiPlast

What is the CombiPlast?

The CombiPlast is an automated case erector and bag inserter in one compact machine. It erects corrugated cases, opens prefabricated EasyOpen bags and inserts them perfectly into each box, ready for filling.

Which industries is the CombiPlast suitable for?

The CombiPlast is used in industries such as bakery, meat, fish, dairy, fruit and vegetables, powders, oils and fats, moulding, e-commerce, laundry and many other applications requiring bag-in-box packaging.

How many boxes can the CombiPlast process per minute?

The standard machine processes up to 12 boxes per minute. Depending on the configuration, a high speed version is available that reaches up to 18 boxes per minute. Actual capacity depends on box dimensions and material quality.

Which box sizes can the CombiPlast handle?

The machine processes a wide range of box sizes, from 300 × 200 × 60 mm up to 620 × 450 × 350 mm. Custom sizes can also be discussed.

Which bag types are compatible?

The CombiPlast is designed for prefabricated EasyOpen bags. Depending on the application, it can process film thicknesses from approximately 10 microns to more than 200 microns.

How long does a size changeover take?

Changing to another box or bag size typically takes only 3 to 5 minutes, minimising production downtime.

Can the machine be refilled without stopping production?

Yes. Both the carton magazine and the rotating double bag magazine can be replenished while the machine continues running, enabling continuous production.

Why use EasyOpen bags instead of bags on a roll?

Prefabricated EasyOpen bags eliminate in-line bag making and sealing, making the machine simpler, more reliable and easier to maintain. They also reduce changeover time and can lower the total packaging cost.

Does the CombiPlast help reduce packaging costs?

Yes. Accurate bag placement allows the use of thinner bags, reduces waste and minimises labour. Combined with low maintenance requirements, this results in a low total cost of ownership.

How easy is the CombiPlast to operate?

The machine features an intuitive 15 inch HMI with recipe management, machine settings and illustrated fault diagnostics. Operators can quickly learn to use the system.

Is remote support available?

Yes. Every CombiPlast includes remote service capabilities via an Ixon router, allowing Niverplast technicians to provide diagnostics, software updates and remote support. Cloud based performance monitoring is also available as part of our service offering.

How much maintenance does the CombiPlast require?

The CombiPlast is designed with a simple mechanical concept and few moving parts, making maintenance straightforward and keeping downtime to a minimum.

Can the CombiPlast be integrated into an existing production line?

Yes. Thanks to its compact footprint and configurable left or right hand layout, the machine can easily be integrated into both new and existing packaging lines.

Why choose the CombiPlast over other case erectors and bag inserters?

The CombiPlast combines case erecting and bag inserting in one compact machine, offers continuous production, quick changeovers, low maintenance, remote support and one of the lowest total costs of ownership in the market. It is specifically designed to work seamlessly with EasyOpen bags for maximum efficiency.
