Cartoner

Overview

Fully automated cartoners cover various functions from feeding to closing the cartons filled with the products. The requirements for all components of these multi-talented machines are usually that they are completely lubrication and maintenance-free, as light as possible and have precise and reliable motion sequences.

1. carton feeding

The feeding of the cardboard blanks into the packaging process is ensured via iglidur ® plain bearings for high loads and with optimised friction and wear properties.

2. product pusher

igubal ® spherical plain bearings and drylin® W profile guides in combination with a pair of the corresponding drylin® W housing bearings are suitable for use in the pusher.

3. carton erector

As the blank is pushed through a chute, the carton erects and encloses the product. The linear movement is made possible by the drylin® rail and carriage in combination with igubal ® spherical plain bearings.

4. carton handling

Idler rollers with xiros ball bearings or a carton feeder consisting of drylin® W profile guides and housing bearings are suitable for transporting the cartons.
