Horizontal cartoning machine AS 220

automatic

The horizontal cartoning machine model AS 220 automatically forms and closes boxes using pre-glued cartons. It essentially consists of an infeed conveyor with intermittent motion for product insertion, a carton magazine, and a second conveyor equipped with a device for inserting, folding and closing the box flaps. Product insertion on the conveyor can be either manual -carried out by an operator -, or automatic by means of a synchronizing device. Most of the groups the machine is made up with are adjustable, therefore on the occasion of a format change the operator does not need to replace all of them.
