OverviewThe FTB577 FF is a compact top-loading cartoner designed to produce practical, fully paper-based protective packaging from flat cardboard blanks. The machine forms the outer carton and folded paper inserts (partitions, nests or custom trays), assembles them, feeds products and accessories, applies coding and closes the package in a fully automated process. It is primarily intended for pharmaceutical and medical device packaging, as well as for kits including leaflets and booklets.
Key capabilities- Top-loading cartoner that simultaneously forms outer carton and folded insert from flat blanks.
- Supports fully paper-based protective packaging (carton + folded paper insert).
- Robotic product handling units for reliable pick-and-place of diverse product types and arrangements.
- Modular configuration with single or multiple flat-blank magazines and forming heads to match speed and format requirements.
- Integrated functions: blank forming, insert folding, assembly, product feeding, coding and carton closing.
- Compatible with common FTB FF Series carton closures (flip-top, tuck-in, glued flaps).
Highlights / Advantages- Integrated carton and insert forming from flat blanks enabling paper-only protective solutions.
- Versatile product handling via robotic units for vials, syringes, needle+vial kits, medical devices and accessories.
- Scalable throughput: configurable blank magazine and forming-head setup to meet production targets.
- Positive carton control through dedicated forming heads and controlled transport ensures squareness and stability.
