PMM – Intermittent motion horizontal cartoner

What has allowed the PMM intermittent motion horizontal cartoner to become a significant reference in the packaging sector owes to having maintained the technical solutions which have made OAM cartoners the choice of thousands of end users worldwide, for their reliability and flexibility, without neglecting the development of the initial project.

Carton erection of the carton by means of a double jointed blade inserted in the case itself ensures positive pre-breakage of the fibers: this allows the use of cases with low weights, square cross-section, and/or gluing and/or creasing imperfections.

Perfect product introduction (even for products of irregular shape/size) is ensured by the insertion of the movable hopper inside the carton, preventing any uncontrolled passage of product from the drawer to the carton itself.

Products are also prevented from straying out of the carton by the action of the spring loaded guides which automatically close during the return stroke of the pusher. The use of closed profile cams with surface hardening treatment, guarantees the reliability of all positive driven movements during the course of time.

Special attention was given to the possibility of cleaning the machines below the carton transport area, where possible product or packaging material residue is conveyed to easily accessible collection areas.

ThePMM cartoner can be equipped with a complete range of product feeding systems and additional units, such as: coders, leaflet and booklet feeders, detection and reject devices, etc.. As on all OAM machinery, the PMM is also equipped with the Mechanical Memory® system, transforming complete size change-over into a series of rapid and pre-set operations, which can be carried-out by unskilled personnel allowing production to be resumed immediately without the need for fine-tuning adjustments.
