Cartoning Machine construction:
- S carton picks up with vacuum cups.
- Carton top support with pneumatic type lifting arrangement.
- Product insertion inside the carton through a driven product Pusher.
- Caron discharge.
- Carton stack type magazine with a capacity of 200 cartons in an inclined position. (Varies for block bottom type cartons)
Machine Operation:
- Flat cartons manually loaded in the carton magazine are getting picked up with help of the oscillating arm vacuum-assisted suction cups.
- Flat carton while landing in the carton chain conveyor get opened and formed in the box shape.
- Front side flap closed before product insertion.
- Concurrently Product collating and feeding attachment dispenses products in the products in the product conveyor pockets. Logically, sensing the carton and product pusher pushes the product inside an opened carton.
- Next indexing side and top flap get closed before final tuck-in operation/gluing.
- Product filled and closed carton discharge through the belt-type carton discharge arrangement
System construction:
- Intermittent Cartooning Machine
- Carton Closing and Discharge
- Hot Melt Gluing Unit
