Method of operation of our Horizontal Cartoner:
The types HK (horizontal cartoner) and HKI (horizontal cartoner intermittent) can be designed either with push-fit, hotmelt or hot-air closure.
The continuous cartoner packs products in the medium to upper output range (up to approx. 300 cycles/min) into pre-glued folding cartons. By means of a rotary feeder, the folding carton is transferred to the folding carton chain in the direction of travel and erected. The erected folding box and the product run parallel. During the run, moving slides continuously and thus very gently transport the product into the folding box.
The intermittent cartoner (HKI) packs products in the lower output range (up to approx. 60 cycles/min) into pre-glued folding cartons. By means of a rotary feeder, the folding carton is transferred to the folding carton chain in the direction of travel and erected. During the cycle standstill, the product is inserted into the folding box as gently as possible using a pusher.
