In the manufacturing industry, automatic cartoning machine has become an important tool to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. Whether it is the food, pharmaceutical or cosmetics industry, automatic cartoning machine can complete packaging tasks quickly and accurately. So, how does the automatic cartoning machine work? This article will analyze its working principle in depth.
Workflow of automatic cartoning machine
Product feeding
The product enters the cartoning machine through a feeding system such as a conveyor belt or a vibrating plate. This step is usually seamlessly connected with upstream equipment such as can making machine or can machine to ensure the continuity of the production line.
Carton forming
The cartoning machine takes out the flat carton blank from the carton bin and folds it into the shape of a box through a robotic arm or a vacuum suction cup. This process is fully automated to ensure that the size and shape of each box are consistent.
Product loading
The product is accurately pushed into the formed carton. For canned products (such as metal cans produced by can making), the cartoning machine can be equipped with special clamps to ensure that the cans are not damaged during the cartoning process.
Carton Sealing
The top and bottom of the carton are sealed by folding, gluing or heat sealing. This step not only ensures the aesthetics of the packaging, but also ensures the safety of the product.
Finished Product Output
The packaged boxes are transported to the next link, such as a case packer or labeler, via a conveyor belt to complete the entire packaging process.
Advantages of Automatic Cartoning Machines
High Efficiency: It can process dozens or even hundreds of boxes per minute, far exceeding the speed of manual packaging.
Accuracy: Ensure consistent packaging quality for each box and reduce human errors.
Versatility: It is suitable for a variety of products and box types, including metal cans produced by can making machines.
By understanding the working principle of automatic cartoning machines, companies can better optimize their production lines and improve overall efficiency.
