Automated carton forming for bottles
Optimize your bottling line with an integrated carton forming solution that combines speed, flexibility, and minimal footprint for efficient packaging of glass and plastic bottles.
Forms and Packs Bottles into Cartons
The Serie Flexi from APE Impianti offers a compact and flexible packing solution with its FORM 2010 and INCA 180 models, engineered specifically for high-speed beverage bottling lines. This system excels in forming RSC American cartons and precisely packing bottles, leveraging Axipack technology for seamless operation via a single operator panel. Key features include the use of brushless motors for enhanced movement precision and an inverter-controlled radial motion for smooth bottle placement, accommodating variable production speeds. Perfectly suited for wine, beer, spirits, and food packaging, this system integrates effortlessly into existing lines, supporting a throughput of up to 12,000 bottles per hour. It offers high flexibility with quick format changeovers, all controlled from an intuitive interface. Crafted for durability and efficiency, the FORM 2010 and INCA 180 are ideal for facilities with limited space seeking to boost output without expanding their footprint. The equipment is also available with a KIT CASSE for handling returnable glass bottle crates, making it a versatile addition to any bottling or packaging operation.
