Cardboard cases at full speed! We look forward to seeing you at Drinktec to show you the WP 1000 ERGON.

Discover the new WP 1000 ERGON case packer

At the Drinktec 2025 trade event  (Stand 102 - Hall A6), SMI will unveil the new WP 1000 ERGON wrap-around case packer, designed to assure high-performance up to 100 ppm, quick format changes, and greater ergonomics in cardboard boxes packaging.

The WP 1000 ERGON wrap-around case packer also meets the needs of companies that prioritize environmental protection through the use of packaging solutions made with sustainable materials, such as lightweight kraft cardboard. With the new SMI case packers, it is possible to produce cardboard cases of various shapes and sizes using kraft cardboard, 1.5 mm thick microwave cardboard or standard 3 mm cardboard, adapting the machine to various processes through simple adjustments from the POSYC® operator panel.

Maximum operating efficiency and speed of format change

The reduction of format changeover times and the high performance of the machine are ensured by an innovative automatic adjustment system for loose product guides installed at the infeed of the WP 1000 ERGON and by the new top product separation system.

>>> Safety and precision of movements are the main 'pluses' that characterize this system, allowing the operator to optimally, flexibly, and extremely efficiently manage the format change operations, especially when there is repeatability in production cycles, and to ensure an increase in productivity of the packaging line.

High level performance

The WP 1000 ERGON automatic case packer is the ideal solution for packing various types of containers of different sizes in multiple configurations of wrap-around cardboard cases, wrap-around trays or completely closed cardboard boxes made from 0.7 mm kraft cardboard, at a maximum speed of 100 packages per minute (speed referred to aluminium cans in a 3x4 format).

>>> The innovative technology of this machine, along with the fluid packaging system, typical of the entire WP range, ensures high reliability and excellent quality of the final package.

Greater ergonomics of the system

The ergonomic and functional design of the WP 1000 ERGON case packer, allows the operator to easily perform all activities related to the use and maintenance of the machine, while maintaining high levels of safety and efficiency. An example is represented by the Easy-load magazine, an innovative system that automatically loads cardboard blanks into the machine's designated magazine and provides optimized performance for high-speed packaging operations. 

If you want to discover the new WP 1000 ERGON and the latest SMI packaging solution, we look forward to welcoming you to Drinktec, booth 102 – hall A6. For more information, feel free to contact our sales department.
