Product Overview
The KOMAL ST10 Automatic Case Packer is an integrated end-of-line carton packaging system designed for bottled water and beverage production facilities.
The system consists of three coordinated units:
- KX15 Automatic Carton Erector: Automatically feeds, opens, forms, and bottom-seals corrugated cartons.
- ST10 Automatic Case Packer: Automatically conveys, groups, and loads bottles into prepared cartons.
- Automatic Carton Sealer: Seals filled cartons for subsequent handling and transportation.
The complete system integrates carton erecting, bottle grouping, case loading, and carton sealing into a continuous automated packaging process.
With a packaging speed of 10 cartons per minute, the ST10 is suitable for beverage plants requiring stable operation, flexible packing arrangements, and reduced manual packaging work.
Key Features
