Whether you’re working with unique case styles, specialized case rates, or specific product requirements, we can design and build a fully customized machine to fit your operation. From concept to installation, our team works closely with you to ensure your equipment meets every need—because your packaging line should work for you, not the other way around.
Upgrades That Make A Difference
Seamless Integration with Allen-Bradley Control
Upgrade your Case Flipper with an Allen-Bradley PLC for enhanced reliability, streamlined integration, and simplified troubleshooting. Known for their industry-leading performance and wide support network, Allen-Bradley controls make your system easier to maintain, more flexible to program, and ready for future automation expansion.
VFD Upgrade for Even More Precision and Efficiency
Upgrade to a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for smoother motion control, quieter operation, and greater energy efficiency. This upgrade delivers enhanced reliability, precise speed adjustment, and reduced maintenance, making your line more capable and cost-effective.
Enhanced Safety with Integrated Guarding
Upgrade to our integrated guarding package for a cleaner design, improved operator safety, and easier maintenance access. This all-in-one solution streamlines your floor layout while meeting safety standards and reducing the need for external guarding modifications.
Advanced Features
E-Stop & Selector Switch For Bypass
Our equipment comes equipped with strategically placed Emergency Stop (E-Stop) buttons that are fully integrated into the machine's safety system. These buttons immediately cut power to critical components when pressed, ensuring the safety of operators and maintenance personnel.
The Selector Switch for Bypass provides operators and maintenance personnel with the ability to temporarily override specific interlocks or sensors under controlled conditions. This is essential for tasks like troubleshooting, manual operation, or cleaning.
Handles A Wide Range Of Case Sizes With Dynamic Adjustments
Our equipment is designed for maximum flexibility, capable of handling a broad range of case sizes with ease. Thanks to intuitive, "no tools" changeover, operators can switch between case sizes quickly and efficiently — reducing downtime, eliminating guesswork, and keeping production running smooth..
Multi-Color Stack Light For Machine Status & Fault Indication
Stay informed at a glance with our multi-color stack light, designed to clearly communicate machine status and fault conditions in real time. Each color signals a specific state — from normal operation to maintenance alerts — helping operators respond quickly, reduce downtime, and maintain peak productivity.
U.L. 508A listed Panel
Our control panels are built to the highest standards and fully certified as U.L. 508A listed, ensuring compliance with national safety regulations. This certification guarantees quality, reliability, and safe operation — giving you peace of mind and meeting the requirements of industrial electrical codes.
Integrated Air Preparation System
Every machine comes equipped with a reliable air prep system, including filtration, regulation, and lubrication components to ensure clean, consistent pneumatic performance. This protects downstream components, extends equipment life, and maintains optimal machine operation with minimal maintenance.
FAQs
Find answers to common questions about the Flipster Model 1 and its capabilities.
Yes, our machines come standard with ethernet PLC controls for easy integration to your existing line. You can also get your machine priced with any brand PLC for integration.
Our base machine comes with an air cylindar drive that will flip the cases. Upgrading to a VFD will provide a more percise movement of the rotery basket with a smooth start and stop. There are times that a VFD will be required based on factors such as wieght, case size, and run rate.
Yes, determining the case orientation is important to ensure the machine is designed according to how cases will be fed into the flipster. Typicly the cases would travel into the flipster narrow side first.
Yes we do, this is an option that we can quote for any machine. The standard is mild steel and is safe for "wipe down" cleaning. We also offer a stainless option for more corrosive environments or heavier cleaning. Our washdown options allows for full washdown including high pressure washing.
After you request a quote, our team will review your requirements and reach out within 1-2 business days. We may also follow up to confirm details to ensure the solution matches your needs. Once we have all of the information needed, we should have a quote back to you within a week. This can very depending on how custom the machine is.
Providing case samples helps us guarantee the machine will handle your packaging accurately. If you don’t have samples available, we can work with you to gather the necessary specifications or suggest suitable case prototypes that align with your needs.
To provide you with an accurate quote, we need details such as your case sizes, production speed requirements, type of material used, and any specific options or modifications you may need. If you're unsure, our sales team can guide you through the information gathering process.
