Delkor Capstone Tri Seal Carton Closing Machine

The Delkor Capstone Tri-Seal Carton Closing Machine features Intelligent Positioning™ technology to consistently align sealing flaps and carton graphics during high-speed operation, resulting in superior package quality. Tool-less changeover, precision belt drives, and ease of access for cleaning and maintenance sets new levels of operating efficiencies to this class of carton closing system.

The engineering team at Delkor was the first to figure out how to analyze the position of each carton at speeds up to 150 cartons per minute, and make the precise corrections should a deviation occur. With Delkor’s Intelligent Positioning Technology™, the Delkor Capstone Tri Seal Carton Closer offers a new level of carton forming precision, and it is the only carton closer in the world with this important new technology.

	Precision Pointers and Scales -Simple Tool-Less Changeover takes 5-10 minutes -Scales & Indicators on all adjustment points ensure fast and repeatable changeover set-points.		Doors Ergonomic Machine Access points with category III interlock switches
	Easy Access One-Touch Top Belt Releases Provide simple, fast, and ergonomic access		Infeed Side Belts Positive side-belt drive maintains precise control of the carton through the adhesive application and flap compression process.
	Color HMI Swing arm-mounted HMI allows for operation from either side of the infeed conveyor		Oversize Bearings Oversized bearings & shafts increase reliability & reduce maintenance while maintaining precise alignment of critical operations over the life of the machinery
	Infeed Cartons are fed into the infeed side-belt from the upstream conveyor & the top cover is plowed down.		Top Belts The Intelligent Positioning™ system precisely adjusts the carton flap alignment prior to the top belt section, which holds the carton in alignment during the front-flap adhesion process.
	Servo Lugged Belt Servo-driven transfer section squares carton for Charlotte flap adhesion.		Adhesive Application Nordson guns apply hot-melt adhesive to the body of the carton in either 1 or 2 stripes (depending on application)
	Charlotte Charlotte flaps are adhered to the sides of the carton, completing the closing process.		Discharge Optional side-belt extensions & coder mount provide convenient location to apply date coding or special printing on the finished carton.
