How it works
Filled containers arrive on the flat-belt infeed with lids open. The machine folds each lid over and engages the tamper-evident lock, producing a securely closed package ready for labeling — without crushing the product.
Built for But-N-Loc® containers
The closer is designed specifically for But-N-Loc® tamper-evident hinged lid containers from Eatery Essentials, in sizes from 8 oz to 64 oz.
Fits your line
Because it uses a flat-belt infeed, the closer can be placed after an existing filling station or manual pack-out table. At 160 kg and a compact footprint, it installs without re-engineering the whole line.
