Description
Automatic Linear Cartoning Machine with Glue Station for Vial, Tube & Cartridge Packaging
The LRC-100 automatic linear cartoning machine combines advanced automation with precision for end-of-line packaging solutions. It performs three core functions: carton erection, product insertion, and flap sealing using an integrated glue station. Designed for flexibility, it operates as a standalone unit or integrates downstream with filling machines (e.g., liquid fillers), capping monoblocks, and labeling systems. The glue station utilizes hot melt adhesive for secure, tamper-resistant sealing, eliminating the need for additional tape or staples.
