Trayfecta™ is Delkor’s New Triple Threat Carton/Case/Tray Former

Minneapolis, MN . . . Trayfecta™ is the newest member of the trusted Delkor Systems, Inc. family of Tray, Case and Carton Formers, which also includes the MTF Series product line. The name of the new system derives from its ability to form all three of the common end-of-line package forms: sidewall trays, corrugated cases and paper-board cartons.

Delkor designed Trayfecta specifically to meet the needs of non-food operation where wash downs are not required, and the equipment is fabricated of powder-coated common steel rather than stainless steel. The new equipment incorporates both the versatility and the robust construction for which Delkor equipment has become known and respected.

Tray and carton forming is done in a unique spring-loaded forming cavity that prevents product jamming and the costly downtime that can occur. This innovative feature, plus Delkor’s proven smooth belt-driven operation and the ready availability of replacement parts, contributes to the system’s high reliability.

The sturdy Trayfecta frame is constructed of cold-rolled steel tubing and features robust Rockwell Automation control circuitry (including a self-diagnostic function) accessed through a touch-screen HMI control panel. Modular control architecture enables integration of accompanying devices such as glue dispensing units. Menu-driven selection of three preset operating speeds and glue dispensing patterns helps keep changeover time to approximately 15-20 minutes, or even less when optional Delkor Systems quick-insert cavities are used.

Trayfecta operates at throughput speeds of up to 65 cycles per minute. Fifteen Trayfecta models are available that feature one to four forming heads and accommodate various blank sizes ranging from 48 inches wide x 30 inches long (Model 1500 Series) to 36 inches wide by 30 inches long (Model 1200 Series).
