Bottle Decaser for Many Styles
Model 156
This versatile workhorse decaser completes multiple tasks with high speed efficiency, feeding and opening cases, unloading containers, and single filing in non-stop operation. It’s an upgrade from manual decasing that will reduce costs, improve plant safety, and ensure a continuous bottle supply to your line.
Decase and Single File with Gentle Precision - No Bottle Drop
The M156 decaser automatically unpacks and single files many styles of glass and plastic bottles, jars, and containers from necks-down reshipper cases, and the perfect solution for uncasing irregular containers including flasks, jugs and jars. It automatically opens all four case flaps then gently unloads with no drop to ensure top container integrity and stability. The decaser monitors container flow and automatically adjusts decasing speed to ensure a continuous fill rate and harmonious operation regardless of line speed variations.
- Run many styles of glass and plastic bottles and containers: rounds, non-rounds, ovals, flasks, jugs and jars, lightweight glass and plastic
- Eliminate hand labor, improve safety, and reduce costs
- Maintain a consistent container supply to the filler
- Ensure gentle handling for maximum container quality and stability
Key Features That Benefit Your Production

All-in-one system provides high speed, in-line operation
Cases may feed directly from the case depalletizer to the decaser. They are automatically timed from back-to-back or random spacing and no special infeed conveyor is required. An optional 180 degree inverter is available to feed cases from overhead conveyor.
Cases are accepted at infeed and conveyed by motorized flight bars throughout opening and bottle unloading to discharge, ensuring precision operation.

Improve line reliability and enhance employee safety while reducing costs
The Model 156 automates the repetitive and tiresome task of manual decasing, relieving the challenges of maintaining a manual crew, and eliminating the risk of employee injury or disability. It is a complete solution, from case feed through unloading and single filing that provides a non-stop container supply to your line.

Gentle container handling with no-drop unloading
Only this decaser offers A-B-C's exclusive design that automatically opens all four flaps, allowing containers to glide gently from the case to the unloading belt as the case is lifted. Containers are under complete control throughout for maximum container stability. They remain in their pack pattern, spaced and separate, until single filed with minimum contact.

Single filing customized for your container
We offer a variety of single filing options to customize this function specifically for each container, to ensure maximum container stability and maintain integrity, whether running lightweight glass, small containers, flasks, or irregular shapes. Our expertise in container handling in many applications ensures that your containers are handled with special care as they are laned and fed to your production line.

Cases are automatically uprighted for transfer to case packing
Empty cases are uprighted automatically for transfer to the case packer. An optional 180 degree case turner conveys cases upright under full control for overhead transfer. (photo shown)

A versatile solution for current and future requirements
The Model 156 uncases a wide range of glass and plastic containers, including round, non-round, oval, flask, and special shapes, in many container heights. It has special features to accommodate lightweight plastic containers and small, lightweight glass containers.
Changeover is simple with most case changes completed with simple hand crank adjustments.
