- For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 20 to 60 cartons per minute, depending on carton size and complexity.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a control voltage of 24V DC.
- Air supply
- Pneumatic systems are commonly integrated, requiring a clean, dry air supply at 6-8 bar.
- Carton size range
- Freemantle box erectors and flap closers are typically designed to handle a range of carton dimensions, with change parts allowing for different sizes.
