AB8 Series Cartoning

Machine overview

Butter and yeast, bundled and boxed

The AB8 is a wrap-around solution for boxing butter or yeast, drawing on flat blanks, which are sealed using hot-melt glue on the end flaps. 
Processing stacked bundles received on the indexing table, the AB8 wraps a flat blank around the formed bundle, closes and seals the carton before capsizing it 180° so that portions are face-up. The AB8 can process up to 80 boxes/min.
