Vertical cartoning solution for fragrance and skincare products

Effortlessly carton even the most delicate cosmetics with precision, ensuring your fragrance and skincare products maintain their quality and aesthetic integrity throughout the packaging process.

Packages and Protects Fragile Personal Care Products

The KV800 Vertical Cartoning Machine by Citus Kalix is a robust solution for cosmetics and personal care manufacturers aiming to streamline their packaging processes. Specially engineered to handle fragile and uniquely shaped products, the KV800 uses an intricate manipulator insertion mode to ensure each carton is handled with precision, preventing damage during packing. With an operational capacity of 60 cartons per minute, it offers versatile production capabilities across a range of shapes, accommodating items from skin serums to perfume bottles.

The seamless integration into your existing production line is facilitated by its intermittent, high-speed operation, allowing for quick format changeovers in just 15 minutes. Designed to manage prefolded cartons up to 200mm in height, its vertical orientation is optimal for space-efficient packaging. The machine boasts compliance with European safety regulations 2006/42/EC, 2014/30/UE, and 2014/35/UE, ensuring it meets stringent industry standards.

Citus Kalix ensures the KV800 offers flexibility with optional modules for liner, booklet, and spatula distribution, catered to meet the evolving needs of fragrance and skincare production lines.
