Functioning as a transit, the rotary feeder picks flat cartons from the face of a magazine and erects them into the cartone's carton carrier pocket. A 3-head rotary comes standard on our equipment. However, we have a 4-head rotary available to meet specific speed requirements and a 2-head rotary for custom carton applications.

We have a variety of reciprocal carton placers to handle a multitude of unique carton styles, from octagon shaped cartons to custom fifth panel cartons. We can work with your carton suppliers to tweak carton designs for automation.

Our settlers are essentially a vibrating rail used to improve product settlement inside a carton. These rails may be located on either side of the machine, at the end radius, or in a combination of locations. After strict testing, the location and the length of the settling rails will be determined. The entire length of the machine may be increased to accommodate necessary settling time.

The purpose of the tilt-tray conveyor is to insert pouches, bags, coupons, or other items into the carton by means of a tilting tray. Products are placed into trays on the conveyor either by hand or by automated equipment. The trays then pass through a cam which tilts them up at a pre-determined angle, causing the product to slide out of the tray directly into the carton or a chute called a transfer spout.

We manufacture both a radial volumetric cup filler, and an inline volumetric cup filler, to satisfy a variety of size and speed requirements. The Yeaman volumetric filler is simple in operation, is easily maintained, and provides smooth product distribution.

The counting plate filler is a great option for 1-10 counts of hard candies or tablets. These products can be filled at rates up 1,166/cpm on a high speed vertical cartoner.

The long cut volumetric filler is primarily used in the pasta industry, accommodating a wide variety of long cut shapes. The zigzag vibratory chimney feeder aids in accurately presenting the product to the volumetric gate where the product is measured and dropped into the tray below. Multiple units may be set up on one line with a master/slave control system for various flavors to be packaged together as one final product. A pasta cutting knife can also be incorporated to cut the pasta from 10" to 5" inch before loading into the pouch.

Depending on your product and speed, we have an arsenal of product transfers to get your product where it needs to go. With spout ovals, radial spouts, swing spouts, diving spouts and more we have the ability to efficiently handle 90-degree product transfers at rates up to 1,166/cpm.

Irregular product flow can be adjusted with a random to timed infeed to stabilize product entering the machine. The conveyor belt will speed up or slow down the product to keep it in pitch with the machine. By synchronizing the infeed correctly, the equipment will perform at maximum potential.

Custom collation systems can be designed and manufactured to collate your product and present it to our machine. Whether it’s a multi-lane random infeed leading to a counting system or a simple sweep design to stack trays onto one another, our engineers are proficient at creating dynamic collating systems.

Our vertical cartoners are designed with the flexibility to be integrated with any auxiliary equipment your product may require, which may include augers, combination scales, net weighers, volumetric cup fillers, robots, pouch infeeds, code daters, glue systems, vision systems or other.

We have experience with a multitude of products and packages. We've designed many product and pouch handling features specific for customer needs - conveying, mixing and blending, pick and place, counting, and more. Let us know what you want to put in a carton and we'll figure out how to automate it.
