Top Loaders

The process of top loading a carton, tray or flow wrapping machine in feed to produce accurate pack collations at high speed has been developed from experience gained over many years supplying integrated packaging solutions by the Our firm..
The basic principle is simple, the empty container whether it is an erected carton, board tray, PVC tray, U board for multi-packs or just the in feed of the flow wrapping machine follows the same loading process. The individual wrapped product leaves the primary wrapping machine in a controlled manner on a powered flat-belt in feed conveyor. The wrapped products with their narrow edge leading are fed into empty fast-indexing pockets of the racetrack mechanism. When loading a carton the empty cartons are transferred from the erector into a positioning conveyor using side belts that space them to the loading position. At this point the custom designed end-of-arm tooling of the robot picks product from the racetrack, groups the products and loads them in the required collation pattern into the stationary carton. The main in feed conveyor continues to index a supply of product to the robot where the cycle of loading continues. Filled cartons are then automatically released on to a conveyor leading in to a carton lid closer.
