Endoline Carton Erector 221

• Automated erection of flat-pack cartons into a ready-to-fill 3D shape, commonly used in end-of-line packaging.
• Integration into packaging lines for food products, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods.
• Preparation of cartons for subsequent filling, sealing, and palletising operations.
• High-volume packaging environments requiring consistent carton presentation.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput typically ranges from 10 to 30 cartons per minute, depending on carton size and complexity.

Carton size range

Units of this type commonly handle a variety of carton sizes, with specific ranges dependent on the installed tooling.

Power supply

Industrial carton erectors typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, often 400V or 415V, 50Hz in the UK.

Air supply

Pneumatic systems are commonly used for carton manipulation, requiring a clean, dry compressed air supply, typically 6-8 bar.

Footprint

The overall footprint for a carton erector with an integrated bottom taper and outfeed conveyor can be substantial, requiring adequate floor space.

Construction material

Frames are typically constructed from mild steel, with stainless steel options available for food-grade or washdown environments.

• What types of cartons can this machine handle?

  Carton erectors are generally designed to handle specific types of corrugated or solid board cartons, often RSC (Regular Slotted Container) style. The exact range depends on the machine's setup and tooling.

• Is changeover between different carton sizes straightforward?

• What maintenance is typically required for a carton erector?

• Does this machine include a hot melt glue system?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing packaging line?

Case packers are valued for their ability to automate repetitive boxing tasks, improving throughput and consistency across food production lines. Buyers typically prioritize machines in good mechanical condition, with accessible spare parts availability and clear maintenance histories. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Key considerations when purchasing used units include verifying operational status, checking for wear on conveyor systems and gripper mechanisms, and confirming compatibility with existing line specifications. Reliable case packers offer significant labour cost savings and production efficiency gains.
