While primary packaging (bagging and bottling) is frequently automated, end-of-line secondary packaging remains a massive labor drain in many processing facilities. Deploying an automated horizontal cartoner combined with a case erector machine automates carton forming, product insertion, leaflet feeding, and carton closure, yielding dramatic labor savings.
Eliminate End-of-Line Bottlenecks
Continuous and intermittent horizontal cartoners with tuck-in or hot-melt glue.
1. Labor Payback Financial Model
An automatic carton packing machine running at 60 to 100 cartons/min replaces 4 workers hand-folding cartons and manually inserting pouches. Over a 2-shift operating schedule (4,000 annual hours), labor savings exceed $160,000 USD per year, recovering the machine investment within 4 to 6 months.
