MK-SBA – SLIDING BUCKET AUTOLOAD CARTONER
The MK-STK – Intermittent Motion Stick Pack Cartoner is an innovation by AFA Systems specifically developed to handle stick pack products. It can handle any product count with its innovative SUBO pick, group, and place tooling system. This stick pack cartoner also features the Sure-Load Carton Closing System™ which ensures product counts remain in the carton during machinery indexing. With its small footprint and Allen Bradley control system, the MK-STK – Stick Pack Cartoner can ensure high packaging efficiency with your stick pack applications.
