T Freemantle is pleased to announce that we have just completed the installation of our revolutionary new, Rhomboid-Box Cartoner Machine. This machine offers a never seen before ability, to automatically fold, erect and seal non-conventional packaging shapes and sizes, which until now have been a “by hand only” task, necessitating vast amounts of labour, and dramatically slowing production times.

T Freemantle worked closely with a leading food producer to meet the demands of the high end retailer for a practical solution that will display well in store while offering a real point of difference for a particular product category. The Rhomboid Box Cartoner Machine enables automatic folding, erection and sealing of these newly designed cartons offering the producer an efficient and effective automation solution for the unique shape and design carton.

Normally automatic Cartoners are restricted to processing square edged, slab sided cartons predominantly for the frozen and dry food product markets. This new Cartoner will offer a producer wanting a solution that offers a real “Point of Difference” carton, a method to produce such designs at more conventional speeds and efficiency.

What are the main features of this machine? The machine is constructed entirely of stainless steel, meaning that it can be sited within any production environment, something that is desirable within the markets that we operate. In addition to this, T Freemantle also did everything possible in order to ensure that the machines footprint was as small as possible, again, in order to enable its positioning in as many locations as possible within a customer’s production unit.

The other main feature of this machine is of course what I mentioned earlier, the fact that it can fold, erect and seal packaging types of shapes that are not normally manageable by traditional machines.

Not only can these machines do this, but they are also quickly and easily altered with regards their settings and adjustments meaning they can take on multiple product lines if required.

The image below shows what the machine looks like from the outside, as you can see it fits in with the other packaging machinery that is found within lines around the globe, thus meaning that it’s easily integrated
