Used Partition Inserters for Cases and Cartons
Partition inserters automatically place corrugated or paperboard dividers inside cases so bottles or other products remain separated during transport and handling. They are especially common on glass-bottle packaging lines.
How They Work
Machines take flat or pre-glued partition blanks from a magazine, open or form the divider and insert it into an empty or partially formed case. Some systems work directly with a case packer; others are standalone modules.
What to Check Before Buying
Confirm case dimensions, partition design, number of cells and blank specification. Inspect magazine, pick-and-place mechanism, vacuum system, forming tooling, guides, sensors, drives and PLC. Verify the exact partition formats supplied with the machine.
Integration
The timing between partition insertion and product loading must match the case packer. Conveyor height, case spacing and line direction should be checked before installation.
Applications
Partition inserters are used mainly for glass bottles and other fragile containers where direct product-to-product contact inside the case should be avoided.
