Jacob White NSX3

• Packaging of food products such as confectionery, baked goods, and frozen items.
• Cartoning of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products.
• Packing of household goods, hardware, and small electronic components.
• Suitable for contract packing operations requiring flexible carton sizes.

Typical throughput

For this class of semi-automatic cartoner, throughput commonly ranges up to 100 cartons per minute, depending on product and operator efficiency.

Pack size parameters

Units of this type typically accommodate carton lengths from approximately 100mm to 360mm, widths from 20mm to 100mm, and depths from 40mm to 250mm.

Construction material

Commonly features all stainless steel construction for hygiene and durability, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial electrical supply, often 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, with a compressed air connection for pneumatic functions.

Sealing method

Units of this type commonly utilise hot melt jet applicators for carton sealing.

Safety features

Modern units are typically guarded with interlocked access points and overload protection, often complying with standards such as BS5304.

• What is the typical footprint of a semi-automatic cartoner like the NSX3?

  The footprint can vary, but for this type of semi-automatic machine, buyers should expect a length of approximately 3-4 metres and a width of 1.5-2 metres, plus space for operator access and material handling.

• Can this machine handle different carton sizes?

• What level of operator involvement is required?

• Is this machine suitable for washdown environments?

• What kind of maintenance does a cartoner like this typically require?

Cartoning equipment holds strong reputation for reliability in pharmaceutical and food processing sectors. Buyers typically value machines offering consistent case erection, product loading and sealing with minimal downtime. When purchasing used units, inspectors should assess wear on servo motors, gripper mechanisms and seal tooling, as these components incur significant usage. Industry sentiment favours models demonstrating straightforward maintenance access and parts availability. Durable construction and precise automation remain key strengths. Operational history and maintenance records prove essential evaluation criteria for secondhand purchases.
