Horizontal cartoners are secondary packaging machines designed to automatically form, fill horizontally, and close cartons. Horizontal cartoning machines can be intermittent or continuous and are used in various sectors such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical to package a wide range of products: bottles, blisters, syringes, soaps, tubes, sachets, vials, and food products. This type of machine is especially recommended for automatic packaging lines, as product insertion almost always occurs automatically.... At Makinate, you can find a wide selection of certified used horizontal cartoners, ideal for optimizing your production line with a sustainable investment.
Components and operation of horizontal cartoners
Horizontal cartoners are typically composed of several operational groups: an adjustable tray conveyor for products, a carton magazine with adjustable guides, a carton opening system using blades or suction arms, a mechanical pusher for inserting products into the carton, and a carton closing unit which can be either tuck-in or glued. In the pharmaceutical sector, machines always include a unit for inserting pre-folded or foldable leaflets, allowing the instruction leaflet to be inserted along with the product. Horizontal cartoning machines are also equipped with a marking system using dry ink or laser to print the necessary information on the carton.
Quality control systems and performance
Horizontal cartoners are equipped with sophisticated control systems to ensure the quality of the final packaging. The main checks include: product presence, leaflet presence, carton formation, carton closure, as well as barcode and datamatrix reading. If a carton does not meet any of these parameters, it is automatically rejected, ensuring that only perfectly packaged products continue along the line. The machine speed is influenced by the carton size and the type of product being packaged, allowing performance to be adjusted according to specific production requirements.
