The design of the machine incorporates the latest developments in lid application. It is an extremely user-friendly machine, which is simple to adjust.
From a horizontal magazine a blank is taken with vacuum and put in position. Four snap-lock grippers transport the blank to the forming head position.
During the transfer a very accurate timing of the glue injection is achieved on the short flaps. At the same time the long sides of the incoming tray/case are glued during transport to the lid application station.
After reaching the lid application station the blank will be picked up and when the filled tray/case is in the right position below, the controlled movement will go downwards to the top of the tray/case. In that position the 4 flaps will be folded 90° against the tray.
The folding unit will go back to the upper position and the tray with glued lid will exit the machine over the conveyor belt.
