Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Semi-automatic cartoners commonly achieve speeds of 10 to 40 cartons per minute (cpm), depending on product complexity and operator efficiency.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard industrial electrical supply, often 230V or 400V three-phase, with pneumatic air supply also common.

Carton size range

For this class of equipment, cartoners are generally adaptable to a range of carton dimensions, though specific tooling may be required for optimal performance.

Product feed

Semi-automatic machines rely on manual product loading into the carton, with the machine handling carton erection, closing, and sealing.

Footprint

Typically, these machines have a compact to medium footprint, suitable for integration into existing production lines without extensive space requirements.

Materials of construction

Commonly, contact parts are made from stainless steel, with the machine frame often in painted mild steel, suitable for food and pharmaceutical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
