THE ASSIGNMENT

The medicine is available in various packaging units. The format spectrum is correspondingly large. All the carton sizes should run on one plant. Crash lock base cardboard is to be used for this. However, there is very little space, so that a conventional solution with standard carton erectors does not work.

THE SOLUTION

Because the space was too small even for such an extremely compact plant, a bypass solution had to be implemented: Parts of the plant were accommodated outside and linked via conveyor technology. Not only robotics was used for this, but also a cardboard magazine that had been specially developed by PKM for mechanical processing of crash lock base cardboard.
