FTC V Series Cartoning
Machine overview
High-speed vertical cartoner with maximum modularity.
An ideal complement to high-speed filling equipment or buffering systems granting excellent line efficiency, the compact FTC578-C vertical cartoner is designed to enable significant machine configuration flexibility.
Capable of receiving products with or without pucks and handling up to 300 ppm, the FTC578-C is designed for modular configuration as well as high-speed operation.
FTC578-C is able to package products such as Vials – in standard or partitioned cartons – Cream jars, Lotion bottles and Perfumes, having regular and irregular shapes. This modular machine can integrate multiple feeders for liners, booklets and any other accessory.
Thanks to its fully accessible design, implementation of additional feeding systems, printers and quality control units is simple. Main functions are servomotor-driven and allow for very short changeover times by means of PC panel recipes.
Data collection software, troubleshooting, a maintenance program and remote assistance are all available via the PC panel for operators and supervisors. According to product behaviour or functionality needs, the FTC578-C can run with continuous or intermittent motion.
