The Fr series, forming filling machines, count on several models for different scopes/target , disegn to fulfill several, different production needs like product dimensions and speed: trays, box with lid and display box. Starting from a flat cardboard, they can handle both corrugated cardboard and simple paperboard. the flat cardboard is picked from the magazine and placed on a bucket chain conveyor; the box is shaped in the tray forming unit: the front flap is kept open; the pre-stacked products are inserted into the box through its open side. The front insertion of the product allows the use of a container (a tray or a box) whose dimensions are equal to those of the product to be bundled. Accuracy in packaging results is guaranteed even with delicate products; if the box has already been shaped, the insertion of the products is made by means of a pick & place unit; lid is closed - either by tucking it in or by gluing it - at next station.
