CE-Certified Automatic Case Packer: Key Specs and Selection Guide

CE-Certified Automatic Case Packer: Key Specifications and Selection Guide

Wenzhou Wimach Machinery Co., Ltd. (WIMACH) is a manufacturer of automatic case packers and integrated packaging lines that are CE certified and designed for tissue, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and daily chemical industries. When evaluating automatic case packers for a production line, buyers need to examine machine type, packing capacity, carton size range, power requirements, and certifications such as CE marking and relevant patents to ensure compliance and long-term reliability.

Why Certification and Specs Matter for Automatic Case Packers

The global case packing machines market was estimated at USD 1.07 billion in 2024, with top load case packers holding the largest machine type share at 45.5% (Grand View Research, 2024). As production lines demand higher efficiency, selecting a CE-certified automatic case packer from a reputable manufacturer becomes critical for safety, performance, and cross-border acceptance. WIMACH provides two core automatic case packer models — the CP-S50 side load case packer and the CP-T60 top load case packer — both built with stainless steel or carbon steel and engineered for durability.

Understanding Side Load vs. Top Load Case Packers

Automatic Side Load Case Packer CP-S50

WIMACH's CP-S50 is a side load case packer (also referred to as a side push case packer). It achieves a packing capacity of 1–16 cartons/min and handles carton dimensions of 240–500 mm (L) x 200–400 mm (W) x 180–400 mm (H). The machine consumes 4.5 kW of power, requires 0.5–0.8 Mpa air pressure and 350 L/min air consumption. Dimensions are 4200 (L) x 2300 (W) x 1900 (H) mm with a weight of 1500 kg. It is suitable for industries including tissue, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, daily chemical, hardware, and auto parts.

Automatic Top Load Case Packer CP-T60

The CP-T60 is a pick-and-place / top load case packer with a packing capacity of 1–8 cartons/min, accommodating carton dimensions of 300–600 mm (L) x 200–400 mm (W) x 150–400 mm (H). Power consumption is 7.5 kW, air consumption is 450 L/min, and it weighs 1600 kg (overall dimensions 4200 x 2600 x 2200 mm). It uses the same material options (stainless steel or carbon steel) and targets identical industry segments.

Step-by-Step Selection Guide for an Automatic Case Packer

1. Define product type and orientation – Determine if your products are rigid containers (bottles, cans, cartons) or flexible packs (bags, pouches, tissues). Side push case packers work well for stable, uniform items, while top load pick-and-place case packers handle irregular or delicate products.
2. Match packing speed to line output – The CP-S50 offers 1–16 cartons/min; the CP-T60 offers 1–8 cartons/min. Ensure the case packer can keep up with upstream production without bottleneck.
3. Verify carton size range – Compare your case dimensions against the machine's acceptable ranges. For example, CP-S50 handles shorter cartons (240–500 mm L), while CP-T60 accommodates longer cartons (up to 600 mm L).
4. Check utility requirements – Both machines need 380V 50/60Hz 3-phase power, compressed air at 0.5–0.8 Mpa, and specific air consumption (350 L/min for CP-S50, 450 L/min for CP-T60). Ensure your facility can supply these.
5. Confirm certifications – WIMACH machines are CE certified. Additionally, some models are protected by Chinese patents (Invention Patent ZL 2022 1 1099886.8, Utility Model Patents ZL 2022 2 1202677.7) covering box forming and automatic feeding mechanisms, reflecting R&D investment.

Real-World Use Cases of WIMACH Case Packers

A US tissue paper manufacturer deployed a WIMACH Automatic Top Load Case Packer (CP-T60) to load tissue canisters into cartons. Over 5 years of operation, the machine improved production efficiency, reduced labor costs, and ensured consistent packing, lowering damage during transit (Case ID 1323). Another US customer integrated 6 sets of equipment into a toilet paper packaging line, combining roll wrapping, case packing, palletizing, and stretch wrapping for fully automated finished product handling (Case ID 1320). In Mexico, a complete turnkey wet wipe packaging line used WIMACH case packers to handle disinfecting wipe canisters, achieving 60 CPM output (Case ID 1321). A Polish manufacturer adopted 12 sets including side load case packers for facial tissue box and soft tissue pack packaging, creating a full-automatic line from cartoning to palletizing (Case ID 1319).
