Case Packing Systems Bv
About us
Who we are and what we do
Since its foundation in 1988, CPS has focused on fully automatic case packing systems with a special emphasis on flexible products and trays. CPS is uniquely proficient in packing products of this type at high speeds and efficiently, and there are other benefits as well. CPS machines pack products more compactly than is possible by hand and therefore achieve substantial cost savings. Packing in shelf-ready boxes has also become an important aspect. CPS uses this expertise and experience to produce high-quality case packers.
Flexible bags, MAP trays or flowpacks in all shapes and sizes are packed fully automatically and at high speed in RSC boxes, cardboard trays, crates, pallet boxes and wheeled containers. In order to supply customer-specific case packing lines, CPS integrates X-ray scanners, metal detectors, checkweighers, coding systems and case erectors in their case packing systems. The total case packing line is normally supplied with the complete product and box supply systems, and may also include merging and buffering systems, to the final discharge of the sealed box, which is completely designed and constructed by CPS in house.
If required, collaborations can be set up with partners in order to deliver complete turn-key projects including packaging machines and palletising systems.
CPS currently produces a complete range of professional case packers.

From box erectors to case packers, to case packing lines and complete turn-key projects where palletisers and other equipment can be supplied as possible options to complete the picture.
Our origins
CPS has developed and produced packaging machines since 1957. Previously, these included form fill seal machines under the name of UVA Aquarius. Since 1988 however, we have specialised in developing and producing case packing systems. CPS is one of the largest players in automatic packing systems for flexible bags.
Our approach: tailor-made
CPS Case Packing Systems develops innovative, individual solutions for your specific needs. We give customers an extra edge by continuously offering suitable packaging solutions in a rapidly changing market. Tailor-made is an apt description of what we do. Each end-of-line packaging system is specifically tailored to your requirements and expectations, so you benefit from our experience in making your packaging department profitable.
Everything under control
All CPS packaging systems are controlled using Sigmatek software. Our own software engineers write and manage the associated software. CPS uses commonly available PLC and IPC components that are supported by Windows. A VPN connection, which is a standard feature of the CPS case packer unit, allows on-line communication for diagnostic purposes, program modifications and updates regardless of your location in the world. All production information, such as idle times, fault analysis data and line efficiency improvement data can be copied or printed. This information can be used to improve line performance. The controls for the complete case packing line are visualised via an HMI interface based on a TFT colour touch screen that also displays fault messages and suggested solutions.
Products
CP 301 Casepacker
CP 301 Casepacker. This system loads automatically bags into cases or crates. The bags are divided at the in-feed with a swivel conveyor and positioned on the retract conveyor. The retract conveyor placed the bags at the bomb doors. Overlap in length and width is possible to create a optimum products in the product carrier. The bomb doors are servo driven which means a quick and controlled movement. After opening of the bomb doors the products will be placed in the product carrier. Multiple layers can also be placed in the product carrier. The product carrier vibrates during loading (option), so that an optimum degree of filling will be reached. The product carrier can be turned for more packing patterns.
CP 201 Casepacker
CP 201 Casepacker. The CP 201 casepacker system provides for automatically positioning and filling of bags into cartons and or crates in programmable patterns. At the in-feed the bags are centred and whether or not turned for the correct packing patterns. After going trough the turning unit the bags are presented, turned or not, to the collection belt. On this collection belt, a preset number of bags (controlled by the menu settings) can be accumulated (with or without partial overlap) They are then introduced to the case packer unit itself, which is equipped with pneumatic drop doors and a bag in-feed unit. This in-feed unit is equipped with two vertical conveyors belts, that are adjustable in width to reduce the volume of the passing bags during transfer to the drop doors. The vertical belts can also move left and right. Thus deposit rows of bags in different positions on the drop doors in order to pack more rows per layer in the cartons. During loading the case is vibrated according to the menu so that the volume of the bags in the case further reduced. The CP 201 case packer line can be extend with many options which makes the line complete to product and customer demands.
CP Compact Casepacker.
CP Compact Casepacker. This system loads automatically bags into cases or crates. The bags are forwarded on an in-feed conveyor. On the in-feed conveyor the bags can be turned (option). The bags are collected, until a complete row is formed of one or more bags. The bags can also overlap which result in an optimum product dividing grade in the product carrier. Then the complete row is forwarded to the bomb doors. A compression plate closes the formation. A side compression of the bag formation, consisting of two vertical conveyors above the bomb doors with manual adjustment is also possible (option).The bomb doors open and the bags will be placed in the product carrier. Multiple layers can also be placed in the product carrier. The product carrier vibrates during loading (option), so that an optimum degree of filling will be reached.
CLP Casepacker
CLP Casepacker for loading crates, carton trays or cases. This machines loads automatically products in crates, carton trays or cases. Due to the fact that the products are not stacked, rigid, semi flexible and even flexible products can be handled. The in-feed system is even capable or rotating individual products, allowing you to crate a wide variety in packed patterns. The products will be divided in a formation creating the correct packing pattern to fill the product carrier properly. Then the formation (a complete layer) will move further to the retract conveyor where side compacting takes place before pick up. The retract conveyor withdraws and the layer of products are placed vertical into the product carrier with a vertical movement. Thanks to the fact that there’s only a vertical movement, the system is very reliable at high capacity.
SL 105 Side Loader
SL 105 Side loader. This system loads automatically pillow bags, block bottom, necktie bags and small boxes vertical into carton cases or display cartons. The bags will be transported laying flat into the cassette. In case of more then one row the in-feed conveyor will have a pivoting function to compose the rows. The bags are placed in the cassette which is lowering down one step. As soon as the required number of bags (which is set in the product-menu) is present the elevator cassette will be in bottom position for case loading. A motor driven pusher system will push the cassette load into the vertically placed carton behind. During carton change the bags will be accumulated on the in-feed conveyor. In case of a twin version of the SL 105 the 2nd elevator cassette will be filled with bags and the cycle will be repeated. A menu controlled case change unit ensures the supply of empty cases and the discharge of the filled cases.
