MKT
Universal: The reliable cartoning machine for highest performance
Description
With its large carton size range and reproducible format settings, the MKT cartoner is very versatile. Thanks to its modular design and different product feed options the machine can be easily adapted to the individual product requirements. An active box opening station with two independent suction systems ensure a reliable processing, even of square boxes and other formats difficult to open. This horizontal cartoning machine ensures a safe and gentle transport, loading and insertion of the products into the folding box (side-loading). Existing top-loader applications can be easily adapted to the horizontal MKC, by minor adjustments to the folding boxes, e.g. top-opening cartons for product presentation at its best.

Machine features
Cartoning
Cartoning with our packaging machines features reliable, active opening of folding boxes even for demanding cross-sections, reliable processes when inserting product and package insert, and sophisticated technology for customized folding box closing options.
Product feeding
Product feeding plays a critical role in packaging machines. Harro Höfliger has a large repertoire of product handling systems. The feeding technology is configured individually depending on the requirements of the project and adjusted to the particular specifications.
Brochure
Brochures are folded to the suitable sizes using standardized systems and then inserted into the package. The process gets more demanding if variable data is printed in them and they must be verified by visual inspections. The packaging insert is critical to ensure preparations are used safely.
Serializing
Our packaging machines can be easily equipped with serializing processes for the benefit of quality assurance and to increase protection from counterfeiting medicine. In the process, folding boxes are each marked individually and recorded by an image inspection system.
Applications
side-loading/top-opening
Packaging products quickly and attractively – horizontal cartoning units are a convenient solution for safe, customer-friendly packaging of several components in top-opening boxes.
Labelling and packaging of eye drops
Harro Höfliger produced a labeling and packaging line for Pharma Stulln – a GMP-compliant production line – within a very tight deadline. The limited space available required special line planning.
