Kliklok-Woodman: Vari-Right right-angle top-load carton closer

New Vari-Right right-angle top-load carton closer is the first system of its kind to offer a continuously variable pitch conveying design. Combines the carton size flexibility of lugless systems with the positive control of conventional flighted machines.

It seals hinge-cover tri-seal or hood-cover cartons with hot-melt adhesive at speeds to 120 cartons per minute.

Vari-Right is constructed predominantly of stainless steel and includes an easy-to-use color touchscreen running Kliklok-Woodman's Insight human-machine interface (HMI) with minimum input paramters and automatic ""expert"" set-up for easy product changeover diagnostics maintenance and glue applicator control.

The Vari-Right automatically indexes filled cartons at random. Its servo drive systems allow easy adjustability independent section adjustments and fine-tuning ""on the fly."" Vari-Right's unique flexibility stems from its patent-pending continuous pitch carton conveying system including articulated lugs for positive carton control.

The Vari-Right is an extremely compact and space-efficient solution for fully automatic top-load carton closing. Its right-angle configuration is ideal for many applications that demand a cost-effective solution for recloseable hood-cover carton styles such as those commonly used for baked goods and other products.
