Can a cartoner be integrated directly after a packaging machine? Yes, it is often part of a complete production line.
-
Can cartoning machines handle grouped products? Yes, they can place groups of bags or boxes into cartons in various configurations.
-
How is carton marking handled? By integrating printers or label applicators.

Horizontal cartoners: 3,600–12,000 cartons/hour (continuous)
Vertical cartoners: up to 3,000 cartons/hour
Case packers: up to 1,200 cartons/hour

Are NOMATECH machines environmentally friendly? The operation of the packaging machines is environmentally friendly and does not generate excessive amounts of waste. When they are started, approximately 15 cycles with empty boxes must be performed - this waste is automatically separated and further disposed of as recyclable material. No other waste is generated in normal operation of the machine. After the end of the equipment's service life, no substances or gases harmful to the environment are present. The machine consists mainly of a steel frame, which is fully recyclable, and covers made of acrylic, which can be processed as standard plastic.
-
What are the most common mistakes in packaging line design? The most common mistakes in packaging line design are:
- Insufficient adaptation of the machine to the type of product – each product requires a specific type of packaging and dosing equipment. If a sample of the product and packaging material is not available, it is easy to configure unsuitable equipment.
- Underestimation of the capacity and speed of the line.
- Incompleteness of the line – failure to include some additional equipment (marking equipment, package inspection, etc.).
- Omitted hygiene/safety requirements.
- Difficult maintenance due to poor accessibility.
- Proper design requires a detailed analysis of the product, production volume and operating space to make the line efficient, safe and easy to maintain.
-
In what environment should the cartoning machine operate? The machine is capable of operating in an environment with temperatures from 5 to 35°C at a relative humidity of no more than 65%. It must not be installed in a chemically aggressive environment or in an environment with a risk of explosion. The machine must be leveled. Dust around the machine must be minimized. Floor vibrations may cause deterioration of function.
-
Is technical documentation a part of the machine delivery? Yes, as standard we supply a Technical Manual and Operating Instructions including electrical diagrams, a Declaration of Conformity certificate, and an Electrical System Revision. The language versions available are Czech and English (in some cases also Polish, Russian, and German), these manuals can be supplied in other languages upon request and for an additional fee.
-
How long does it take to change formats on the cartoning machines? It depends on the type of packaging machine and the skill of the operator. For vertical machines, cartoning machines and bagging machines, it is generally about 20–60 minutes.
