Meet the CI-40 Case Inverter—built to handle case and product inversion with unmatched precision, keeping your workflow sharp and your products protected.

What Is the CI-40 Case Inverter?

The CI-40 Case Inverter is not your average packaging machine. This powerhouse takes the hassle out of manual inversion, flipping cases or products automatically to maintain efficiency and protect fragile items. The CI-40 takes control of the inversion process, handling breakable goods, odd shapes, and high-speed demands without missing a beat.

How the CI-40 Outshines the Competition

The CI-40 is built to do more than meet expectations—it sets a new standard for precision, speed, and adaptability in case and product inversion. Here’s what makes it stand out.

1. Soft-Touch Inversion for Fragile Goods

Handling delicate containers like glass bottles or soft food products? The CI-40 Case Inverter, also called a “case flipper” or “box flipper machine,” employs a “soft touch” design, ensuring items remain in contact with the conveyor throughout the process. This steady support prevents jostling, impacts, and collisions, drastically reducing breakage.

2. Built for Speed and Precision

Need to process large volumes fast? The CI-40 handles up to 40 cases per minute, proving that speed doesn’t have to compromise precision. Whether you’re flipping cases, products, or both, this machine gets the job done right.

3. Customizable for Every Product

From rectangular cases to unique product shapes, this case flipper features quick-change inverter arms customized to your needs. Each arm ensures damage-free inversion, keeping your products safe and intact.

Key Features of the CI-40 Case Inverter

• Ultra-Compact Footprint: Measuring 64” wide x 84” deep, the CI-40 takes up minimal floor space, making it easy to integrate into production lines with limited room.
• Integrated Case Conveyor: A built-in conveyor ensures seamless integration with existing packaging lines, maintaining a steady product flow.
• Escapement Mechanism: Designed for long or irregular-shaped cases, keeping flaps securely closed during inversion to prevent jams and misalignment.
• Stand-Alone Operation: While the CI-40 is often sold as part of the Flap Closer/Conditioner (FCC) system, it is also available as a standalone machine, delivering the same reliable performance independently.
• Soft-Touch Inversion: Gently handles fragile items such as glass bottles, delicate food trays, and lightweight cases, reducing breakage risks.
• Quick-Change Inverter Arms: Easily adaptable to different case sizes and shapes, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency.
• Heavy-Duty, Durable Construction: Built for 24/7 industrial use, ensuring long-term reliability and minimal maintenance.
• High-Speed Performance: Capable of processing up to 40 cases per minute, keeping up with demanding production schedules.

Why Automate with the CI-40?

Automation isn’t just about saving time—it’s about delivering consistent results, protecting your products, and cutting down on manual labor costs. The CI-40 Case Inverter brings advanced case automation to your production line, eliminating the inefficiencies and risks of manual inversion. It also reduces workplace injuries by automating repetitive tasks, giving your employees time to focus on higher-value activities.

Industries That Benefit from the CI-40

From food and beverage to pharmaceuticals, businesses rely on the CI-40 for precision case automation that adapts to unique production needs. Here’s how different industries put it to work:

• Food and Beverage: Safely flips fragile containers, like glass bottles or delicate food trays, without a scratch.
• Chemical and Pharmaceutical: Ensures secure inversion of sensitive or hazardous materials.
• Consumer Goods: Handles high-speed production lines for packaging boxes, cartons, or custom product shapes.

If your business needs a box flipper machine, the CI-40 offers speed, accuracy, and reliability.

How the CI-40 Enhances Your Bottom Line

Investing in the CI-40 Case Inverter doesn’t just streamline your process—it transforms your production line into a lean, efficient operation. Here’s how:

• Reduced Product Damage: Soft-touch features protect fragile goods.
• Faster Turnaround: With up to 40 cases per minute, you’ll meet tight deadlines with ease.
• Lower Labor Costs: Automation means fewer hands-on tasks and more consistent results.
• Long-Term Value: Durable design and custom features ensure the CI-40 grows with your business needs.
