Automatic carton boxing machine 1

The automatic carton boxing machine intervenes in “end-of-line” processes by handling and placing the product, just packaged, into American boxes, previously formed.

It is present at the secondary packaging stage with the aim of optimizing production processes.

Often supplemented by a palletizing and pallet wrapping system, it serves to automate the entire packaging process.

Versatile and high-performance solution that can process and adapt to different types of products such as bottles, cans, food, pet food, detergents and sanitary products.

A machinery with strong potential and growth prospects. In fact, according to the fmi, the market will grow at a rate of 3% per year between 2023 and 2033.

In the following article we are going to analyze:

  • Operation
  • Advantages
  • Practical case
  • MF Tecno solutions

 

Operation

The modular design and the presence of several integrated and complementary components makes it possible to execute, in a single machine, three stages:

  • Box formation and bottom closure
  • Product handling using a special pick and place system
  • Closing the top by tape or hot melt glue (hot melt)

In fact, the first stage involves picking up the box from the specially prepared carton warehouse. This is followed by the opening of the flaps and formation of the box followed by the box filling stage using pick and place system. This takes care of the picking and arrangement of the product.

Finally, we have the closure of the upper part of the casing.

Advantages

Automating the boxing process through MF TECNO cartoning machine brings several advantages in terms of efficiency, productivity and business scalability.

Concrete and tangible benefits that make investing in this automated solution extremely effective in the medium to long term.

 

Some of the major benefits include:

Protection of objects

MF Tecno case packers ensure uniform and precise packing. This provides optimal protection of the product and preserves it from external agents and factors.

 

Increased speed and productivity

Significant improvement in business productivity is guaranteed through reduced downtime and repetitiveness of production processes.

 

Improving the work of employees

Automating the canning process allows both the use of fewer staff and greater employee value. By assigning less repetitive and physically onerous tasks.

 

Material cost savings

Significant reduction of boxing errors and optimization of U.S. box space ensures overall material cost savings.

This reduces waste and gets the most out of packaging materials.

 

Improved pallet stacking and space optimization

The use of the cartoning machine ensures optimal space utilization and the creation of extremely stable pallets. It contributes to better palletizing and more stable inventory for storage and shipping.

 

Traceability and monitoring

The adoption of automated systems allows the processes involved to be tracked and monitored.

Thus, there is an opportunity to analyze the recorded data, identify possible anomalies and take action to improve the overall execution.

 

Rapid return on investment

Investing in an MF Tecno case packer allows you to better automate your packaging process. Increased efficiency and productivity of production processes ensures a rapid return on investment.

 

Practical case

In our experience cartoning boxing is often part of complete systems. Integrated into turnkey projects that also include transportation systems, packaging and palletizing.

Among the completed projects, including the cardboard machine, is one for a major company in northern Italy that is active in the production of plastic caps.

This complete plant goes from transporting the product to palletizing, packing and canning.

In the above picture we can see the fixed bucket elevator, mf 58 vertical packaging machine, cartoning machine, pca smart palletizer, and mf wrap 35 wrapper.

Each machine in our complete lines is entirely designed, manufactured and tested in-house.

 

MF Tecno solutions

The MF Tecno cartoning machine is a reliable and high-performance solution for handling and manipulating American-style boxes.

Its small size makes it a machine that can adapt to even those work settings characterized by small spaces.

Capable of reaching productions of up to 12 boxes per minute. Variable according to their sizes and types.

It is made entirely of 304 stainless steel and has a highly intuitive control panel and interface.

Its modular design makes it an extremely flexible and versatile choice thus allowing it to adapt to each client's needs.

The box-opening phase begins at the magazine. This can hold up to 120 flat boxes that are picked individually by a suction cup gripping system.

This is followed by the box opening phase with the closing of the lower flaps and subsequent transfer of the box, via motorized roller conveyor, to the filling station.

Here there is the formation of the box by the opener system, its filling, thanks to the plick and place system, and finally its subsequent closure by tape or hotmelt glue.
