Vertical cartoners

-- Packaging Digest, 12/1/2007

The ASV Series of automatic vertical cartoners is part of a complete packaging line, the co. says. The cartoners offer choices in speed, footprint and product handling for cartoning ampules, vials and syringes, including integrated partitions that are either preformed or formed from flat blanks. Designed to handle small to medium size cartons, the vertical cartoners meet cGMP requirements. All models offer quick changeover and a variety of options for leaflet or booklet insertion, closure, embossing and ink coding and infeed configurations. Cartoning is achieved using either continuous or intermittent motion, depending on speeds and the application. Changeover times are 15 to 20 min when all dimensions change. Closure options include hot-melt glue or fold and tuck. All models can handle pre-glued cartons and can accommodate reverse or straight tuck closures.
