When it comes to packing converted paper and tissue products, what style of machine is best: side load or top load? The simplest answer is - it depends. Selecting the right solution depends on several factors, most notably desired line speeds, the footprint of available space you have for a system, the products to be packaged and how many different SKUs you would like the system to run. There is a general rule when it comes to case and tray packing solutions for converted paper and tissue applications that says if you are looking to run 20 cases or more a minute, a side-load machine is a better fit. A side-load case and tray packing machine offers several speed-related advantages, namely able to handle the three critical packing functions of erecting, filling and sealing to deliver a fully integrated solution. The act of filling cases from a side-load design is slightly faster than a top-load design where product is picked robotically and dropped into a case.
