Optimize secondary packaging with the shortest intermittent cartoner in its performance class. 

Benefits

Higher line stability

Patented carton singling reduces no pick or double pick events, minimizing carton-related micro-stops even when material quality fluctuates. 

Faster changeovers

Recipe-driven servo motorization for size adjustment ensures operator-independent repeatability and faster stabilization after format transitions.

Premium carton appearance

Unique three-point carton guidance with an overhead conveyor ensures friction-reduced transport to avoid scratches and stabilize tall cartons.

Robust insert handling

Pre-creasing and a patented leaflet insertion concept enable tighter wrapping and controlled positioning for complex multi-market leaflet variants.

Technologies and features

  • Robotic stack building: Integrated delta robotic technology enables smooth blister transfer and format-part-free stack building. Only the suction arm is changed via quick-release clamp, reducing changeover effort.
     
  • Modular closure architecture: Autonomous, separately controlled drives support multiple closure principles on one machine. Spring-loaded behavior improves closing reliability even when carton stiffness varies.
     
  • Pharma 4.0-ready: The P4 features a smartphone-like UI with customizable widgets, such as OEE tracking, to ensure operational transparency.
     
  • Servo-motorized size adjustment: Carton size adjustment (A/B/H) is executed motorically via the HMI. All carton parameters are stored in the recipe, making settings repeatable across shifts and operators while reducing manual setting work.
     
  • Advanced leaflet handling: A patented leaflet insertion concept with driven rollers and controlled flaps ensures tighter wrapping and reduced stress on sensitive blister stacks, enabling flatter carton geometries.
