Forming Machines Models FRT- FRB

The FR tray-box former machines are suitable to bundle products  either in tray or in box with lid. Starting from a flat cardboard, they can handle both corrugated cardboard and simple paperboard.
The FRB and FRT machines run step-by-step,  making use of different stations, whose number varies according to the customer’s requests.
A wide range of functions is available: product insertion, literature (or other eventual items)  insertion,  visual control of the whole product flow,  ink-jet printing, tuck-in or hot-melt closure.
Different  types of products and collations can be handled both with  FTR - FRB.
The designing solutions are always tailored to the customer’s demands.

Common Features

Tray-box forming cycle

  • the flat cardboard is picked from the magazine and placed on a bucket chain conveyor;
  • the box is shaped in the tray forming unit: the front flap is kept open;
  • the pre-stacked products are inserted into the box through its open side. The front insertion of the product allows the use of a container (tray/box) whose dimensions are equal to those of the product to be bundled.
  • if  the box has already been shaped, the insertion of the  products is made by means of a pick & place unit;
  • lid is closed - either by tucking it in or  by gluing it - at next station.
