• Forming wrap-around cardboard and open tray from flat cardboard cuts
• wrap-around carton warehouse, for manual insertion of flat cardboard cuts – warehouse length ~800mm
• 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 carton - wrap-around 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
• Productivity up to 20 cartons/min.

Grouping system:

• A section of conveyors that shoot the product at the appropriate speed into the grouping system
• Grouping system: placing individual products vertically and counting them via an index conveyor
• Pushing the product from the index conveyor in the desired quantity and creating groups via the comb driver mechanism
• The comb driver mechanism is equipped with an anti-collision system based on FESTO pneumatics

Cartoning system:

• Retrieving flat carton cuts from the warehouse using an electric arm with vacuum suction cups
• Moving a group of products into a preformed carton using a servo motor driven bulk feed arm
• Collective feed arm equipped with a mechanism for squeezing a group of products using a FESTO pneumatic drive
• Applying a glue path to the upper flap of the box using an electric drive mechanism with a glue gun
• Applying a glue line to the side flaps while the cardboard is passing through
• Closing the walls of the box using the closing head
• Sealed gluing support system equipped with vacuum suction cups
• Dispatching finished cartons from the cartoning machine to the receiving conveyor
• Sensors detecting the correct sealing of the carton (only lower side flaps), after detecting an unglued carton, the machine goes into auto stop, triggers a light and sound alarm and displays an appropriate message on the HMI panel
