The Vari-Straight is a straight-line carton closer for tri-seal cartons using variable-pitch technology. To provide a controlled carton turn without a change in direction, the turning bed features “pop-up” turning bars that guide cartons through a 90-deg turn and into the closing section. The inherent slip and timing issues associated with conventional “lugless” carton closers are eliminated. Standard features include: An Insight® color touchscreen HMI; off-the-shelf servos, drives and machine controls; an easy 3D carton size changeover; and a stainless-steel construction.
