The Compact 3 Right Angle combines Bradman Lake's Flexible Carton Control (FCC) flexible rubber fingers and unique turn correction system. The right angle footprint will suit companies wanting to save space but not in a straight through format. Machine speed up to 120 cartons per minute with a large size range and simple but strong construction.

Machine operation

Filled cartons pass at random from a packing conveyor into the closer at a rate determined by the speed of the infeed belts. Their covers are plowed down and are then gently gripped between the twin overhead conveyors consisting of a series of patented rubber fingers and table top conveyors. The front flap of each carton is sealed, with hot melt adhesive, and the carton is then turned 90º. The cartons are conveyed into the second section of the machine and the end flaps are sealed in a similar manner.
