When it comes to cartoning beverage cans and bottles, the typical limit tends to be in the 300 cartons/min range. But when customer feedback made it clear that higher surge speeds would be a big help, the machinery builders at R.A Jones, part of the Coesia Group, responded by developing the Meridian XR MPS-300, an R.A Jones cartoner that incorporates a Speed-up Kit designed specifically to meet this need.
“It was largely a matter of stepping back and looking at some of the proven technology we have in other machines to see how we could address this need,” said Rich Clifton, Beverage and Robotics Portfolio Manager. “Our Orbi-Track technology seemed like the right fit. We knew it was proven and robust. We just had to find a way to adapt it to the Meridian XR.”
