Application engineering overview
Automatic horizontal cartonator for blister, bottle, tube and pouch packaging
The STHC automatic horizontal cartoning machine is an end-load or side-load cartoner that erects a pre-folded carton, synchronizes the product and leaflet, inserts the pack, closes the carton and transfers it for downstream handling. This automated cartoning platform can be engineered as a blister cartonator, bottle cartoner, vial cartoning machine, pharmaceutical cartoner or automatic tube cartoning machine with feeding and inspection selected for the approved format.
As a cartoning machine manufacturer in India, Stellan Tech Innovations develops the machine configuration after reviewing the product, carton, leaflet, required output, available floor space and upstream or downstream interfaces.
