Cartoners

For decades, we have been developing cartoning machines for the pharmaceutical industry. The roots of our technology date back to the first cartoners developed by Höfliger & Karg—a company that played a pioneering role in shaping modern cartoning technology.

The right solution for your application

Cartoning machines

• When is an intermittent cartoning machine suitable and when is a continuous cartoning machine suitable?

  The choice depends primarily on the desired output, product type, and requirements for flexibility and format variety. Intermittent cartoning machines are particularly suitable for small to medium production volumes and frequently changing formats. Continuous cartoning machines are the first choice for high output volumes and maximum efficiency with consistent production processes. Which platform is right always depends on your specific application.

• Which cartoning machine is suitable for my product?

  The right cartoning machine depends on factors such as product type, desired output, carton dimensions, and requirements for flexibility and future expansion. Together, we will analyze your packaging needs and recommend the platform that best suits your application, both technically and economically.

• Can cartoning machines be expanded to include track & trace or other automation solutions?

  Yes. Cartoning machines can be expanded with serialization, aggregation, automatic feeding systems, and other end-of-line components, depending on requirements. This creates future-proof packaging lines that can be flexibly adapted to new requirements.

• What are the distinguishing features of your cartoning machines in terms of accessibility?

  Good accessibility facilitates cleaning, maintenance, and format changes, helping to reduce downtime. Our cartoning machines are known for their excellent accessibility. This is due, in part, to the cGMP-compliant balcony design, which keeps the packaging and drive areas completely separate. Additionally, components such as the folding unit or the folding carton magazine can be swung out or moved, allowing quick and easy access to all relevant areas. This simplifies service and maintenance work and increases machine availability.
