The IA612 machine is capable of shaping, filling, and closing American-type cartons for a variety of products in sectors such as tissues, food, cosmetic, pharma etc. The machine was developed with the idea of creating a simple product that can meet all the needs of end users over several working shifts. Its reliability, versatility, and the use of super-sized, long-duration components make this machine an ideal work partner.
The carton is fed manually or via an automatic loader into the carton storage unit without interrupting the machine’s regular operating cycle. A mechanical, pneumatic arm takes and opens the carton, which is then deposited in front of an adjustable hopper. The feeding unit, using an up-ender system and a mechanical pusher, inserts the products, in the selected composition, into the box. At the end, during transportation towards the exit, the box is closed with adhesive tape or hot glue such as Hot-Melt.
The case packers can handle a wide range of sizes, including very large cases up to 800 x 600 x 600 mm (IA620’s) and can achieve a speed of 5 to 6 cases per minute, depending on the size and pattern of the products to pack. The machines are designed to be flexible, reliable, extremely robust, and suitable for working 3 shifts per day. They can be equipped with infeed collators suitable for handling all kinds of products.
The limitless configuration of the bundle is programmable via HMI, within the mechanical range.
