MA 400 CARTONER: A COMPLETELY RESTYLED MACHINE FOR HIGH-SPEED PACKAGING OF ALL PRODUCT TYPES

MA 400 continuous motion horizontal cartoner is a completely restyled machine with improved ergonomics, reliability and user-friendliness. This machine inherits the best of BA 400 cartoner, which since the 80’s has travelled the world, winning the appreciation of the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries, thanks to its reliability and ergonomic design.

The MA 400 guarantees extremely fast changeover times and low maintenance. It is compact in size - without compromising the machine’s high speed output - and easy to use, thanks to a wide range of control functions that guarantee maximum efficiency and a new operator interface called “Easy Door”. This version has several improvements from both a functional and aesthetic point of view. The new software makes the operating system more powerful and faster. The wider screen is more ergonomic and much more sensitive, similar to that of a mobile phone.

The new machine is a perfect solution for high-speed packing of all product types (blisters, bottles and vials, rigid and squeezable tubes, sachets and trays) for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic markets.
