New Kliklok Closer at Gulfood 2011

January 06, 2011

At the forthcoming Gulfood Exhibition in Dubai (27th Feb to 2nd March) Kliklok will be demonstrating their new carton closer, the SMART-3.

 

This compact machine is ideal for automatic hot-melt sealing of hinge-cover, 3-flap cartons at speeds of up to 120 cartons per minute, offering an economical, space-saving solution. The innovative in-line carton pivot turning bed ensures simple and reliable carton handling in minimum length.

 

Lugless Design

 

A simplified lugless design eliminates carton-carrying lugs, driven chains, mechanical transfers and timing flaps. Instead, reliable VFD motors directly drive durable, easy replaceable high-friction belts to quietly convey cartons through the machine to effectively reduce any carton marking and product damage.

 

Large size range

 

The carton size range of the Smart-3 size is generous, to cater for a wide range of applications, offering maximum flexibility. The Smart-3 can be customised to suit numerous carton styles, including ‘Hood cover’ and ‘Scallop edged’ cartons.

 

Easy, three-dimensional size change

 

Automatic programme set-up and a simple mechanical hand-wheel with digital indicators make size change achievable in less than ten minutes – a quick and easy changeover, with minimal downtime.

 

Insight ® Colour touchscreen

 

The Smart-3 closer is equipped with a Panelview Plus 700 colour touch screen, with icon- based controls for ease of operation, fault diagnosis & speed adjustment.

 

Hot melt glue system

 

The Smart-3 closer is fitted with a Nordson Pro Blue enclosed hot melt glue system, with nozzle type application for accurate and neat closure.

 

Random carton infeed

 

Independently driven infeed metering wheels allow the Smart-3 to accept a random flow of cartons from upstream product loading equipment, improving efficiency and simplifying line integration.
