Automation conceived for box forming through the closing of the four lower (bottom's) laps so that the boxes are ready for vertical filling either in manual or automatic mode.

The forming device consists of a structure made of metallic tubes and painted panels with adjustable bases and supporting unit.

Lower lap closing is done with adhesive tape or glue. The carton magazine has been built with an inclined position to ease the operator. With a capacity of about 100 cartons, it is equipped with an automatic feeding system to always assure the carton presence at the collection point. Adjustments for format change are carried out by means of handwheels. Cartons are opened by means of a pick-up head with suckers operated by a vacuum pump. Lap closing is done pneumatically. All the pneumatic material the machine is equipped with complies with ISO rules whereas its electric control board complies with CE norms.
