The Onepass semi-automatic gluer has a unique open-frame feature, which allows the machine to be offered in modular units. It can initially be purchased as a single-joint or one-piece gluer, and later retrofitted as a dual-joint or two-piece gluer. At that point, it would become three machines in one. All functioning components can be operated as one or independently, this would include the infeed lifts, compression transport units, glue systems, and downstackers. With this versatility, this machine can be used for processing two-piece boxes in one pass; processing one order, one-piece boxes; and processing two separate orders, one-piece boxes simultaneously.
