Trayfecta M series Tray and Carton Formers
The Trayfecta M series tray and carton forming machine continues Delkor’s long tradition of highly reliable and robust mechanical tray formers. This flexible machine is capable of forming trays and cartons which require either mechanical locking tabs or glued flaps. The product family offers configurations that provide up to four forming heads. Selected models can achieve a maximum output of 225 cartons per minute.

Belt Drive System |
 |
Carton Blank Pick The vacuum cups on a pick-arm assembly select a carton blank from one of several magazine lanes feeding the machine. |
 |
Shuttle The pick arm places the blank onto guide rails from which position a reciprocating shuttle moves it forward into position between the forming head and the forming cavity. |
 |
Adhesive Application For adhesive style cartons, hot-melt adhesive is applied to carton flaps during the controlled shuttle transfer. |
 |
Forming Head Once a blank is in position, a forming head drives the carton blank downward, through the forming cavity, to create a formed carton. |
 |
Spring Loaded Cavity Forming activity occurs in a unique spring-loaded forming cavity that prevents product jamming and the costly downtime that can occur. |
 |
Carton Eject The newly formed carton automatically releases from the bottom of the forming cavity, and drops onto a discharge conveyor. |
