After that the carton moves to the folding zone.

Step Three: Folding the Ears of the Carton

Through rotary movement, the machine automatically folds the right and the left ear of the carton at the same time.

The push plates and cam coupled motors assist in the folding of the ears of the cartons.

Step Four: Sealing the Cartons

The machine closes the tongue of the cartons and fastens it to lock the carton completely.

You can either decide to glue the seals or staple them depending on the type of products you wish to secure.

Step Five: Printing and Quality Assurance

After that, the machine checks the integrity of the cartons and separates the good from the bad cartons.

It proceeds to the printing zone where the ink jet printer prints the labels and the dates on the cartons.

The cartons are ready for storage and subsequent transportation.

· Intermittent Mode Automatic Cartoning Machine

Intermittent mode automatic cartoning machine is quite similar to the continuous mode automatic cartoning machine.

the only difference comes in terms of speed as the intermittent mode automatic cartoning is slower by around 150 times.

The reduction in speed is as a result of the machine stopping and giving time for the boxing cycle to take place.

You can employ it in different applications such as cartoning medicine cards, bottles, injection trays, ointments, pill or rectangular articles.

As soon as the carton is in the right angle it proceeds to the loading area.

Step Two: Loading the Cartons

At this point, the machine loads the products into the carton and pushes them to the folding zone.

Step Three: Carton Folding Zone

A push plate flips the carton and closes the lower end flap and shuts the ears of the upper end.

The machine employs a rotational motion to completely fold and press the ears of the box leaving no ear unturned.

Step Four: Cover Action Stage

The machine folds the carton to the tongue and then pushes it to bend using a pushing plate.

It also ensures that the tongue locks well into the cartons thus assuring the carton integrity.

The integrity test marks the end of the cartoning process.

Working Principle of Horizontal Automatic Cartoning Machine

To operate a horizontal automatic cartoning machine, you need to go through the following steps.

Step One: Setting the Blank Cartons in Position

First the carton will come from the blank carton zone through the feeding system.

The push plate and the guiding rails ensure that it opens up at the right angles.

At this stage, the machine folds the carton through a series of push and suction system to form the right shape.

Step Two: Loading Area

One the carton is in the loading area; the machine will load the products from the side.

Since the machine is a horizontal automatic cartoning machine, the loading is from the side of the carton.

The machine inserts the products into the carton precisely and gently.

Step Three: Folding the Flaps of the Cartons

The chain conveyer moves the cartons to the folding zone.

Also, the target point of the machine is the ear of the carton that will form the seal of the carton.

Through the rotary movement, the machine folds the left and the right ear of the carton.

The motors push the push plate and folds the ears of the carton and forms the tongue.

Step Four: Sealing the Carton

The conveyor moves the carton to the sealing zone where the machine tucks in the tongue.

A pushing plate orchestrates a push on the tongue thus resulting in to a fastening lock creating a seal.

The action is on the left and the right side of the carton.

After that, the machine inspects the cartons before moving them to the loading bay for storage.

Semi-Automatic Cartoning Machine Vs Fully Automatic Cartoning Machine

The flap, which you can also refer to as the tongue sticks with shore locks or friction fit.

The tucks can either be found on panel two or panel of the carton.

ii. Hot Glue Closure

This technique involves the application of hot glue on to the flaps to create a permanent seal on the cartons.

The hot glue closure technique is for cartons that carry heavier products, especially at the bottom.

iii. Combination of Hot Glue Closure and Tuck in Closure

Some cartons have a combination of both hot glue and tuck in closures to improve the strength of the carton.

You may find a carton with hot glue closure on the sides of the carton and at the bottom part.

Tuck in closure technique is often at the top making it easier for you to open and close the carton.

Troubleshooting Automatic Cartoning Machine
