Carton and Tray Erecting / Forming
Consistent and perfect carton erection is critical for the efficient operation of a top-load cartoning system. The Bradman Lake name is synonymous with high quality and high-efficiency carton and tray erection machines.
Various carton erectors / tray erectors can be selected to suit the customer’s application and all types of board.
All machines cover a broad spectrum of operating speeds; they can be supplied with single, double, triple, and quadruple forming heads for maximum output rates, depending on carton size. Other configurations are also available.

Models
The HS Carton Erector / Tray Erector model uses a ‘direct placement’ method of feeding the carton blanks into the forming tool. This method guarantees excellent performance and quick and easy setup using factory-set tooling.
The HS Erector / Former erects cartons and trays using a conventional four corner lock system or hot melt glue.
The HS can also be supplied as a Mini frame. The Bradman Lake HS “Mini” carton and tray former has been introduced to the market due to an ever-increasing demand for carton forming machinery that occupies minimal floor space. Its compact footprint is nearly half the size of traditional carton formers, yet it retains the same valuable features found in the Bradman Lake HS Erector / Former design platform.

Tooling Flexibility
Quick and easy to size change and ensure repeatability.
