Bradman Lake to demonstrate Top Load Carton Packaging Line
Bradman Lake Group is participating at ProFood Tech being held at McCormick Place in Chicago, April 4-6, 2017. Visitors to the stand will see in operation Bradman Lake's Integrated Top Load Cartoning system comprising of two main machines; the HS Single Head Lock Former and the IL120 Three Flap Carton Closer.
The integrated technology of the HS Former and the IL120 Closer provides an ideal semi-automatic top load carton forming, loading and closing system for customers interested in a low initial capital investment, with the potential for full automation in the future. These machines show:
- Quick Size Changeover. The Carton Former incorporates simple techniques that allow changeovers to take less than 15 minutes and require only a single operator. The Carton Closer features tool-less size changeovers that can be accomplished in less than 5 minutes. This significantly reduces downtime and increases productivity for customers that run several different carton sizes.
- Unique Carton Closing Technology. The IL120 uses the unique ‘Flexible Carton Control’ (FCC) technology that allows for cartons containing product of inconsistent size, protruding above the carton base, to be closed without jamming.
