This continuous motion cartoner has a small footprint
The new PC 4201 continuous motion cartoner (photo) achieves a maximum output of 200 cartons per minute with a footprint no bigger than that of intermittent motion types. Thanks to its compact design and individual feeding systems, this efficient technology is suitable for connection to any primary packaging machine in the chemical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food and cosmetic industries. Depending on the line configuration, pick-and-place systems ensure automated transfer of the products to the cartoner. To avoid producing empty packs, leading to unnecessary waste, the cartons are only picked up if there is actually any product waiting. The digitally adjustable format positions, which can be accessed on the human-machine interface (HMI), greatly simplify product changes. — Romaco Group, Karlsruhe, Germany
