Cartoner
11 March, 2009 | Macropak Pty Ltd
The Promatic P 91S horizontal intermittent motion cartoner from Romaco has a maximum output of 140 cartons per minute. The design of the machine allows any change in format to be made directly by the shift personnel. This accelerates production runs, particularly for small batch sizes, and provides a consistent production flow. The cartoner is operated by a touch screen, which automatically monitors the individual production steps and makes adjustments, if required. All secondary packaging processes are hence controlled flexibly and efficiently.
