Horizontal Cartoner
‍

Horizontal Cartoners, also known as End-Load Cartoners, erect boxes fed into them by a magazine feeder, then proceed to open each carton horizontally and fills it either manually or automatically. The cartons are picked off and opened using a reciprocating arm at slower speeds or an orbital arm at higher speeds. In order to be filled, the opened cartons are then placed in pockets on a carrier chain and conveyed through the loading area. Generally, both ends are left open during loading, one to fill the carton and the other to prevent an air cushion building up during loading, especially of tightly conformal products. Once loaded, the end flaps are folded and tucked or glued, depending on the application. The inner major flap could be closed by guide rails and the hot melt glue can be applied with a spray nozzle. A pair of side belts provide compression on the flaps while the glue cools and sets up. Finally, the finished carton is then discharged for bundling, wrapping or case packing. Our cartoners serves our customers across a wide spectrum of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, confections, and personal care products. They are usually not suited for any unbagged loose products such as individual candies due to the difficulty of loading. There are generally two types of horizontal cartoners, namely Horizontal Tuck Cartoner and Horizontal Glue Cartoner.
