A cartoning machine is an automated device designed to package products such as pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics into prefabricated cartons. Modern cartoning machines utilize “PLC control systems”, “photoelectric detection”, and “servo-driven mechanisms” to ensure high-speed, precision, and automation in the packaging process.
Cartoning machines are mainly divided into horizontal cartoners and vertical cartoners:
- Horizontal cartoners are ideal for regular-shaped products such as blister packs and toothpaste, providing high-speed mass production.
- Vertical cartoners are designed for fragile or irregularly shaped products like bottles and cosmetic containers, allowing for more complex packaging needs.
The JDZ-600 is a fully servo-driven high-speed cartoning machine manufactured according to GMP standards, with key technical features including:
- Six-segment dual planetary wheel rotary carton forming, ensuring complete carton expansion and reducing rejection rates;
- Fully automated continuous operation, integrating mechanical, optical, electrical, and pneumatic systems, with each core mechanism independently servo-controlled;
- Human-Machine Interface (HMI) touch screen, allowing for quick product changeovers without manual adjustments;
- Smart fault detection system, providing real-time alarms to ensure long-term stability.
Cartoning machines are typically integrated with blister machines, flow wrappers, filling machines, labeling machines, and case packers to form a fully automated packaging line.
For example, Jiade offers customized solutions such as blister-carton integration, bottle-carton integration, and condom-carton integration, enabling fully automated production and enhanced efficiency.
Key factors to consider when selecting a cartoning machine include:
- Product type (blister packs, bottles, pouches, etc.);
- Production speed (e.g., JDZ-600 reaches 600 cartons per minute);
- Carton sealing method (tuck-in closure, hot melt glue sealing);
- Compatibility and scalability (support for future production line upgrades).
Key technical specifications include:
- Production speed (200-600 cartons per minute);
- Carton size range (maximum/minimum dimensions);
- Power and air requirements (e.g., 380V, 50Hz, 6-8 bar);
- Control system (PLC + touchscreen + servo drive).
Key maintenance practices include:
- Regular cleaning of conveyor belts, suction cups, and servo motor components;
- Lubrication of transmission components such as gears, chains, and cylinders;
- Checking photoelectric sensors for dust accumulation affecting detection accuracy;
- Timely replacement of wear parts (suction cups, belts, seals).
