EndFlex has revealed Boxxer Kartnr-V, an automatic vertical cartoning machine with an additional manual loading station – designed for precision, efficiency, and flexibility in the packing process.
Boxxer Kartnr-V can vertically form and load containers and securely close chipboard cartons. It is said to be compatible with tuck, auto-lock, and glued carton styles, among others, with ‘seamless’ quick-change options catering to a range of carton sizes across product lines.
Therefore, operators can enable or disable manual and automatic loading stations. Customers are able to choose between manual or automatic loading only, or run both processes simultaneously.
It can also hand load or insert stick packs, information leaflets, health aids, and other items into a carton before it closes, with EndFlex recommending the function for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetics, and health and beauty manufacturers.
The machine’s rotary star wheel is said to ensure that carton indexing is both smooth and precise, with an intuitive colour touch-screen interface designed to improve user control. Its ‘heavy-duty’ steel frame is set to make it both stable and durable.
Additionally, its servo-driven operation is geared towards accuracy and an efficient use of energy.
EndFlex encourages ‘brands handling delicate, high-value products that demand careful packaging’ to utilize the Boxxer Kartnr-V for ‘reliability and precision in carton forming, loading and closing’.
In similar news, Bonafarm’s Sole-Mizo brand is utilizing SIG’s state-of-the-art Midi 12 Aseptic filling machine to fill 12,000 carton packs per hour with milk products. Users can apparently use this technology to switch packaging formats, volumes, opening solutions, and packaging materials at speed.
EndFlex also unveiled its Boxxer Wrap Around Case Packer last month. Aiming to use less corrugate than pre-formed cases, the machine folds a flat cardboard blank around grouped and bundled products, then seals the edges to secure the pack for shipment.
