Clamshell denester buying guide
Jul 30, 2026
Magazine capacity, pick method and changeover — what matters when you feed empty containers.
Magazine capacity
A larger magazine means fewer refills and fewer operator visits. Aim for at least 10–15 minutes of run time per load.
Pick method
Vacuum cups with servo motion give smooth, repeatable placement. Pneumatic systems are simpler and lower cost for moderate speeds.
Changeover
Look for hand-adjustable guides and marked positions so operators can switch formats quickly.
