Compact carton blank feeding system

Maximize your production efficiency with a solution designed to streamline carton blank feeding processes, optimizing space and reducing labor demands in your packaging line.

Automates Carton Blank Feeding and Erecting

The TLM Comfort Feeder from Schubert Group is a compact carton feeding system engineered for efficient automation within the food, bakery, confectionery, snack, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and pet food industries. This system seamlessly integrates into production lines, automating the infeed, erecting, loading, and sealing processes for applications like cereal bars, yogurt containers, and face cream jars. Featuring single-lane operation, it achieves a cycle rate of up to 60 packs per minute while minimizing space requirements. Equipped with a Schubert Motion software-optimized F4 robot, the system pulls pre-cut blanks directly from the pallet into an A6 erecting unit, ensuring precise handling and high output. The design supports continuous operation with a four to five-hour per pallet feed time, eliminating the need for machine stops during pallet exchanges. The TLM Comfort Feeder’s compactness, combined with lightweight robotic tools and an easy-to-manage interface, allows for simplified operation and maintenance, making it a cost-effective solution for various manufacturers seeking to optimize their packaging processes.
