Quick Answer
What is a double station case packing machine?
A double station case packing machine is an end-of-line packaging system that uses two parallel workstations to erect cartons, load products with robotic manipulators, and seal cases in a single machine. The HIJ-CP550, built by HIJ Machinery in Wenzhou, China, packs up to 600 boxes per hour using 8 servo motors and dual grippers, handling bottles, pouches, blister packs, and jars within a compact 4m × 2.2m footprint — roughly double the output of a single-station case packer in the same floor space.
Key Takeaways
- Throughput: up to 600 boxes/hour with dual manipulators working in parallel — no idle waiting between carton feed and product loading.
- All-in-one: case erecting, robotic loading, and tape or hot-melt sealing combined, replacing three separate machines.
- Precision: 8 Siemens/Schneider servo motors control every motion; changeover between carton sizes takes 15–30 minutes.
- Versatile grippers: suction + mechanical clamp combination handles glass bottles, pouches, blister packs, jars, and irregular products.
- Compliance-ready: 304 stainless steel and aluminum construction, cGMP-ready design, CE-marked, with IQ/OQ/PQ documentation support for your validation.
- Options: an ATEX-compliant explosion-proof variant is available for Zone 1/Zone 2 hazardous environments.
Tired of Bottlenecks? How the HIJ-CP550 Solves Your Biggest Case Packing Challenges
We've listened to hundreds of production managers. These are the three challenges they face most often — and exactly how our dual station case packer eliminates them.
CHALLENGE #1
"Manual packing can't keep up with our filling and cartoning lines."
HIJ Solution
Automate with dual workstations achieving up to 600 boxes/hour — dramatically increasing end-of-line throughput without adding headcount.
CHALLENGE #2
"Rising labor costs and inconsistent packing quality are eating our margins."
HIJ Solution
Repurpose your workforce for higher-value tasks. The robotic gripper delivers 24/7 consistency and precision, eliminating human error and fatigue.
CHALLENGE #3
"There's no room for a long, multi-machine packing line on our floor."
HIJ Solution
A compact, all-in-one design for case erecting, loading, and sealing in a single 4m × 2.2m footprint — one machine instead of three.

Get Your Custom QuoteEngineered for Performance: The Features That Make a Difference
Every component of the HIJ-CP550 is designed with one goal: consistent, high-speed performance that reduces total cost of ownership and maximizes uptime.
Precision Motion Control
8 Servo Motors Control
For superior stability, speed, and positioning accuracy, the CP550 uses eight high-performance servo motors from Siemens or Schneider. This multi-servo architecture executes every movement — from case erecting to product placement — with millisecond precision, reducing wear and extending equipment life.
Adaptive Product Handling
Versatile Gripper System
An innovative combination of suction cups and mechanical clamps handles glass bottles, infusion bags, heavy containers, and irregularly shaped items. Custom gripper configurations match your product dimensions and fragility requirements for zero damage during packing.
Parallel Processing Power
Dual Station Efficiency
Two independent workstations for packing and carton feeding operate in parallel, eliminating idle waiting time. While one station loads products, the other prepares the next carton — achieving up to 600 boxes per hour without doubling your floor space.
Customizable Closure
Flexible Sealing Options
Choose tape sealing for cost-effectiveness or hot-melt adhesive for a stronger, tamper-evident seal. Both systems are tool-free changeable and support various carton sizes — the hot-melt option is ideal for pharmaceutical and high-security applications.
cGMP-Ready Materials
Robust Construction for Long-Term Reliability
The CP550's frame is built with high-grade aluminum alloy and 304 stainless steel for durability in demanding production environments. All contact surfaces are designed for easy cleaning and sanitation, supporting your facility's cGMP hygiene requirements. This robust construction supports 24/7 operation with minimal maintenance, backed by a comprehensive warranty.

Forester's Insight
"I've spent 20 years watching clients lose efficiency to poorly integrated end-of-line packaging. A case packer that isn't synchronized with the cartoner upstream just moves the bottleneck — it doesn't remove it. That's why the HIJ-CP550 isn't just a machine; it's a turnkey-ready cornerstone we commission as part of your whole line. We run a Factory Acceptance Test with your actual products before shipment, so it performs flawlessly from day one."

Your Questions Answered: HIJ-CP550 FAQ
Straight answers to the most common questions about the CP550 dual station case packer. Still have questions? Our team is here to help.
What is the real-world output of the double station case packing machine?
The HIJ-CP550 achieves up to 600 boxes per hour under optimal conditions. Real-world performance depends on product characteristics (lightweight blister packs pack faster than heavy glass bottles), carton size and complexity, operator experience, and the stability of your upstream product flow. We conduct a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) with your actual products to validate the exact throughput for your application before shipment.
How long does a changeover take for a different carton size?
Typical changeover time is 15–30 minutes for carton size adjustments by a single operator. The process involves adjusting the tool-free carton magazine guides, repositioning the robotic gripper height and spacing, updating recipe parameters on the HMI touchscreen, and running a few test cycles. For clients who frequently switch between 2–3 carton sizes, pre-programmed recipe templates and quick-change gripper sets can reduce changeover to under 10 minutes.
Can the HIJ-CP550 handle my specific product, such as glass bottles or pouches?
Yes. The dual gripper system combines suction cups and mechanical clamps, making it suitable for glass bottles (vials, ampoules, infusion bottles with gentle vacuum grippers), plastic HDPE/PET containers, flexible pouches and bags, blister packs in trays, jars, cans, and heavy or irregular items with custom gripper designs. We test your actual product samples in our Technical Center before finalizing the gripper design, and you receive video proof of successful packing during the FAT stage.
What is the lead time for a standard HIJ-CP550 machine?
A standard configuration CP550 typically ships 8–10 weeks from deposit: weeks 1–2 for engineering review of your URS and design confirmation, weeks 3–6 for manufacturing and assembly, week 7 for internal quality inspection, week 8 for the Factory Acceptance Test with your team (in-person or remote), and weeks 9–10 for packaging, final documentation, and shipment. Custom or explosion-proof models require an additional 2–4 weeks.
Do you offer an explosion-proof model for hazardous environments?
Yes. We manufacture an ATEX-compliant explosion-proof variant of the CP550 for pharmaceutical and chemical facilities with volatile solvents, flammable liquids, or combustible dust. It is designed for ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas per Directive 2014/34/EU, with intrinsically safe control systems (Ex d, Ex e, or Ex nA rated components), flameproof enclosures, static discharge prevention, an optional positive-pressure purged control cabinet, and a full documentation package. Explosion-proof models typically require 10–12 weeks lead time and carry a premium of approximately 25–35% over standard models.
What warranty and after-sales service do you provide?
The CP550 includes a 24-month parts and labor warranty from commissioning (or 30 months from shipment, whichever comes first), free replacement parts for manufacturing defects, remote diagnostics, on-site service when needed, and free HMI software updates for the life of the machine. Beyond the warranty period, we offer annual maintenance contracts, a 24/7 technical hotline with response under 4 hours, regional spare parts inventory, and operator re-training sessions.
