T-LC Mono-block Food Top Load Cartoner

A versatile, efficient system for packaging flow packs, sleeves, and sachets. Offers fast format changes, minimal intervention, and optional leaflet insertion and labelling modules for seamless, high-speed performance in diverse environments.
The Top Load Cartoner is designed to receive and collate flow packs, carton-board sleeves, or other difficult-to-handle products, and load them into automatically erected cartons. It can also integrate stations for IFU or leaflet insertion prior to carton closing, using either fold & tuck or hot melt glue methods. After the cartons are securely closed, they are directed to an outfeed conveyor for downstream case packing and palletising. The machine supports multiple flat blank carton formats, making it versatile for various packaging needs.

Ideal for facilities that require continuous operation with minimal operator intervention, the Top Load Cartoner ensures efficiency and reliability for high-speed production environments.
