This Tray Former Is Only Open for Efficiency, PILZ’s International Success Story

Extreme flexibility and fast format change are the distinguishing features of the 1200 s tray former from Sema Systemtechnik: the cardboard blanks are fed in at one second intervals and folded, glued and sealed in several production stages. From a risk analysis it was clear that an effective safety solution had to be found for the situation where there was “no cardboard in front of the feed opening” – a solution that would restrict neither the operator nor the process. SEMA opted for Pilz’s TÜV SÜD-certified solution for safe cardboard feed.
