Intermittent motion horizontal cartoner for large products

Simplify your packaging process with a solution that ensures precise carton erection and seamless product introduction, even managing irregularly shaped items with ease.

Erects Cartons and Introduces Products Accurately

The PG Intermittent Motion Horizontal Cartoner from Tecnicam offers a robust solution for handling large size products in diverse packaging applications. Its cantilever structure ensures a clear separation of mechanical and product handling areas, significantly reducing cleaning time and contamination risk. Designed for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries, the PG cartoner efficiently erects cartons and introduces products such as blister packs, vitamin capsules, and healthcare kits with precision. Employing articulated twin blade technology, it accommodates low grammage boards and rectifies glueing imperfections, ensuring versatility in carton handling. The machine supports rapid, tool-less size change-overs with its Mechanical Memory® system, enabling unskilled personnel to execute process adjustments within 10 minutes. Integrating seamlessly with existing production lines, optional modules for coders and detection systems enhance operational thoroughness. Constructed for longevity, the PG cartoner is suited for demanding environments where efficiency and product integrity are paramount.
