• Forming a tray-lid carton (short lid on the outside of the tray) and an open tray from flat cardboard cuts
• 2 cardboard warehouses for manual insertion of flat cardboard cuts
• The time needed to convert the machine to a different format is approximately 40-60 minutes
• The machine is adapted to the following types of master cartons - lid tray and open tray
• Index carton feeder with stations: feeding, filling, forming and closing the carton
• Vacuum generator for picking up cartons from the warehouse
• PLC control with a color touch panel on a rotating arm
• FESTO pneumatics
• SICK sensors
• Capacity up to 15 master cartons/min.

Grouping system:

• A section of shooting conveyors feeding the product at the appropriate speed to the grouping system
• Grouping system: placing unit products vertically and counting them via an index conveyor with an Allen Bradley servo drive
• Pushing product from the index conveyor in the desired quantity and creating groups via the Allen Bradley servo-driven comb driver mechanism
• The comb driver mechanism is equipped with an anti-collision system based on FESTO pneumatics

Cartoning system:

• Retrieving a tray of flat-cut cartons from the warehouse using an electric arm with vacuum suction cups
• Moving a group of products into a pre-formed carton using a servo motor-driven collective feed arm,
• Collective feed arm equipped with a mechanism for squeezing a group of products using a FESTO pneumatic drive
• Applying a glue line to the side flaps of the tray while the carton is passing through
• Closing the walls of the box using closing mechanisms
• A system supporting correct gluing equipped with vacuum suction cups
• Retrieving lids in the form of flat carton cuts from the warehouse using an electric arm with vacuum suction cups
• Applying glue while passing the lid forming head over the glue guns
• Forming and gluing the lid on a previously created tray by a forming head with servo drives
• Dispatching finished cartons from the cartoning machine to the receiving conveyor
