Feeding Station

Timed belt feeder with stack lifters, well proven, most sold feeder principle in the world, combined with electronic control for set-up with teach-in-function. No cams required, no dimensions required. Set-up for timing and feed length within less than a minute.

Chain Conveyor Unit

4 conveyor chains adjustable in running and cross direction. The chains run in plastic guides. The top guide bars can be lifted together.

Gluing Station

The standard gluing application comprises 6 chamber gluing discs with 4 normal and 2 double-width glue pots and bottles. The bottle is placed to maintain a constant glue level automatically. The glue quantity is metered by a small easy to handle thump wheel.

Alternatively or in addition, a jet glue system with 2 or 4 glue nozzles per lane is available:

  • Working from the top:
    For 4 corner chips scoops the upper glue guns are moved in lateral direction symmetrically on an oscillating shaft to create the correct conical glue lap pattern. This version provides 2 nozzles per lane.
  • Or working from underneath:
    For clam shell style. This version provides 4 nozzles per lane. If one or more blanks fail to arrive, the machine stops automatically.

Forming station

Leaving the chain station, the blanks are controlled by top and bottom belts for accelerated transportation to the forming tower. The standard forming tower comprises the equipment for the majority of standard trays, except for the individual forming blocks.
