HST KA-20 (Cardboard Box Erector)

Function

The KA-20 carton erector folds and glues pre-cut carton blanks into boxes.

The speed can be up to 40 cartons/minute, depending on the carton size. The machine features a start/stop function (automatic restart) that automatically stops when the number of cartons on the infeed conveyor is sufficient, and starts again when a replenishment of cartons is required.

A touch display and a cam switch unit for monitoring the individual movements and the hot melt application round off the machine.

Due to the robust design and the use of mechanical drives, the machine operates very quietly and with low interference, promising a long service life.


Box format

The machine can be equipped with multiple format sets. The changeover time for trained technicians is less than 15 minutes.
