The right tray erector depends on your tray format, closing method and production volume. Standard models like the TE A and TE B suit consistent, high-volume tray formats, the TE S handles special shapes and sizes, and the TE Parcel is purpose-built for ecommerce throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a tray erector do?

A tray erector automatically forms flat-packed tray blanks into ready-to-use trays, reducing manual handling and keeping a packaging line moving quickly and consistently.

How many trays per minute can a tray erector produce?

Output depends on the model, ranging from around 17 trays per minute on the Lantech TE C up to 25 trays per minute on the TE A, while the TE Parcel handles up to 1,000 trays per hour for ecommerce applications.

What is the difference between hotmelt and mechanical closing tray erectors?

Hotmelt tray erectors, such as the Lantech TE A, TE B and TE D, close trays using hot glue, while mechanical closing models like the TE C use a mechanical fold or lock instead of adhesive.
