Cartoners

Product Features

Reliable carton packing for craft beverage lines

The CART Series cartoners — EC-CART and S-CART18S12 — are compact, affordable systems built with a craft brewer mindset, designed to pack loose cans or bottles into formed cartons for beer, craft beer, wine, cider, seltzer, coffee, kombucha, water, spirits, and cannabis can lines.

General features

The main function of the CART series cartoners is to pack product into a formed carton and seal it with hot melt glue. The EC-CART is a semi-automatic model where an operator manually inserts cans or bottles into the formed carton while the automatic closer and glue system completes the seal — a flexible, low-cost option suited for variety packs. The S-CART18S12 automates the entire process with a closed carton sleeve, loose can infeed, and servo-driven pusher and powertrain system, running at up to 215 cans/min.

 

Both models use PLC & HMI controls with intermittent motion for precise cycling, keeping a compact footprint suited to craft beverage production lines.
