It is generally divided into three entrances: manual entrance, bottle entrance and package box entrance. The whole process from feeding to final packaging can be roughly divided into four stages: The carton is fixed by a guide rail and a push plate is used to open the carton. At the same time, there will be two forward-moving card positions rising from the bottom, jamming the sides of the carton from the front and rear, so that the box is opened at a right angle and Move forward to the loading area. After filling in the filling area, the machine will fold the ears into the left and right guide rails, and then perform the closing action. Before closing the cover, the mechanism will first bend the tongue of the carton, and then a push plate pushes the box cover to bend, so that the tongue is inserted into the box and the lock is fastened.

The cartoning process is:

1. Feeding material: First, the material is unloaded from the unloading device to the conveyor belt, and the microcomputer will transmit the command to the origami machine and the suction box device.
2. Feeding box: The suction box device takes out the carton in the carton library and puts it on the guide rail.
3. Open box: The rail card position fixes the carton, the push plate pushes the carton open, and two cardboards that move with the carton rise from both sides of the guide rail, jam the sides of the carton from the front and rear directions, so that the box is opened at a right angle and moved forward to the loading area.
4. Filling: The conveyor belt on the automatic cartoner carries the material, and the push rod pushes the material into the empty boxes in the filling area.
5. Close the cover: After the push rod material is pushed into the box, the carton will enter the closing position under the drive of the guide rail. Before closing the cover, the mechanism will first bend the tongue of the carton, and the push plate pushes the box cover to bend, so that the tongue is inserted into the box. Before closing the cover, the mechanism will first bend the side of the carton, and the push plate pushes the cover to bend, so that the side is inserted into the box.

Packaging machine that forms cartons

A cartoning machine or cartoner, is a packaging machine that forms cartons: erect, close, folded, side seamed and sealed cartons.[1][2]

Packaging machines which form a carton board blank into a carton filled with a product or bag of products or number of products say into single carton, after the filling, the machine engages its tabs / slots to apply adhesive and close both the ends of carton completely sealing the carton.[3]

Cartoning machines can be divided into two types:

• Horizontal cartoning machines[4]
• Vertical cartoning machines[5]

A cartoning machine which picks a single piece from stack of folded carton and erects it, fills with a product or bag of products or number of products horizontally through an open end and closes by tucking the end flaps of the carton or applying glue or adhesive. The product might be pushed in the carton either through the mechanical sleeve or by pressurized air. For many applications however, the products are inserted into the carton manually. This type of Cartoning machine is widely used for packaging foodstuffs, confectionery, medicine, cosmetics, sundry goods, etc.

A cartoning machine which erects a folded carton, fills with a product or number of products vertically through an open end and closes by either tucking the end flaps of the carton or applying glue or adhesive, is called an end load cartoning machine.[6] Cartoning machines are widely used for packaging bottled foodstuffs, confectionery, medicine, cosmetics, etc., and can vary based on the scale of business.[7]
