Intermittent end load cartoner for baked goods and snacks
Optimize your packaging line with an efficient, space-saving cartoner that ensures precise loading and closing of diverse products, simplifying your production process while maintaining high throughput.
Packs and Loads Cartons Efficiently
R.A. Jones introduces the Criterion CMI-160, an intermittent motion end load cartoner designed to enhance your packaging line efficiency. By integrating the product collator directly into the main machine frame, this model eliminates the need for an additional bucket conveyor, streamlining the packaging process for a wide range of food and pet food applications.
It handles solid and powder products, packaging them into cartons with precision. The CMI-160 operates by intermittently opening, loading, and closing two or more cartons per cycle, making it ideal for products like infant formula, granola bars, and dry dog kibble. With a processing capability of up to 160 cartons per minute, this cartoner supports continuous or intermittent production modes to match your line’s needs.
Automated through advanced PLC control, it ensures seamless integration into existing operations, while the use of glue sealing provides secure packaging. Its compact footprint allows for easy placement on the production floor, and with maintenance-friendly access, it’s designed for durability and minimal downtime. The Criterion CMI-160 meets industry standards, making it a robust choice for manufacturers in the food and pet care industries seeking to optimize their packaging processes.
