The CE-GRT – Carton Erector with Gantry Robot Loader is a robust and compact integrated packaging system. The CE-GRT features a unique combination of carton erecting and gantry robot technology. Two systems are typically needed to perform carton erecting and gantry robot loading. These two processes are included in one system: the CE-GRT. This unique feature reduces the overall footprint and lowers integration costs. Furthermore, the CE-GRT can handle auto bottom cartons and unique pack patterns with ease. Custom designed in-feed systems can be tailored to fit your existing production lines and your product.

Rustproof stainless steel construction, servo motors on main drives, and reject systems are also featured on the CE-GRT. The system runs on an Allen Bradley ControlLogix PLC and controls. The system can handle a wide range of product applications, including pouches, bottles, sachets, and more. All major components on the CE-GRT Vertical Cartoner are servo driven.
