AD Series Cartoning
Machine overview
Efficient cartoning machine for bouillon cubes
The AD8 Series is a wrap-around solution for the packaging of bouillon cubes fed from an upstream dosing machine. By taking flat blanks, the machine forms cartons with tucked-in end flaps and glued longitudinal seams.
The AD8 Series packs soup cubes into cardboard boxes that can be of different sizes ranging from those with a capacity of 2 to 48 cubes.
State-of-the-art motion control, thanks to fully electronic mechanisms, ensures excellent packaging results and the machine overall footprint is conveniently small, thus enabling also an easy access for operators needing to handle machine components.
Processing speeds can reach a maximum of 600 cartons/min.
