Product Feeding
- The stick packs are fed by loading in bulk onto a belt where a dedicated camera recognizes the position of the product. Then, a robot picks the stick packs up and positions in the transport belt with plug-in buckets in order to facilitate the change over activities.
Cartoning Section
- Cartons magazine with motorized pusher belts having a standard length of 750 mm (29,52”) with minimum load control. The magazine is placed in a lower than the product transport chain and it is close to the operator in order to improve the cartons loading which is made at about 900 mm. Simplified adjustment of magazine guides and pickup by means of millimetre scales;
- Cartons opening system, consisting of an oscillating arm with suction cups and mechanical 90 degrees pre-breaking action, with direct transfer of the squared open carton into the belt transport system. Positive carton pickup control from magazine;
- After the opening, carton is transported by a parallel mounted lug chain, which maintains the carton perfectly squared;
- The carton transport system is adjustable from an only point and it is equipped with digital indicators;
- The widening of the belt transport system is made through hand wheel and digital indicators for the adjustment of carton length (“h” dimension);
- Product, arriving from the infeed chain, is inserted into the carton by a pusher placed opposite the operator side;
- After the closing phase, lateral belts transfer the carton to the machine outfeed.
Installed Safeties
- Safety guard in methacrylate transparent material, integrated on the machine frame, with safety micro switches on all the opening parts with machine stop in emergency mode and release of the air pressure;
- Overload control on the main motor with mechanical torque limiter and immediate machine stop;
- Overload safety on product pusher and machine stop. After clearance, a reset is mandatory;
- Machine stop after three consecutive errors;
- No product, No carton, No leaflet (if group is present).
