Over the years, many of our customers have asked us to integrate cartoners into the custom machines we were designing and building for them. After integrating several commercially available cartoners, we found that none met the high standards we set for our systems. Disappointed by the options available, we decided to take matters into our own hands and design and engineer our own custom automated cartoners.
At SDC, we now specialize in building cartoners tailored to your specific products, carton sizes, and unique application requirements. Whether you’re looking to upgrade existing equipment or address increasing output demands with a semi- or fully-automated solution, our cartoners deliver unmatched flexibility, precision, and efficiency.
The SDC Rotary Cartoner is custom-built to meet the needs of your specific packaging process, providing a high-performance solution for efficient and precise carton loading. Utilizing proven ring indexer and dial indexer platforms as the foundation, our rotary cartoners combine pre-engineered motion modules with application-specific tooling for optimal performance. These machines offer quick-change tooling or multi-tooled workstations with pre-programmed control recipes, enabling fast adjustments and minimal downtime between runs.
Designed to balance flexibility with dedicated tooling, the SDC Rotary Cartoner allows for quick process parameter changes while limiting the complexity that can slow down changeovers. We work closely with each customer to design a solution that meets their exact needs without unnecessary features, ensuring a streamlined and efficient packaging system. Whether fully automated or semi-automated, the SDC Rotary Cartoner is perfect for businesses looking to enhance their packaging operations and increase throughput.
The SDC Linear Cartoner is a flexible, high-speed packaging solution designed to handle a variety of carton sizes with ease. It can function as a standalone, manually fed system or be seamlessly integrated into a fully automated production line. The key to the SDC Linear Cartoner’s flexibility is its continuous motion system and auto-adjust conveyor belt, which automatically adjusts to fit product sizes on demand.
This system can handle cartons at speeds of up to 60 cartons per minute, depending on the carton size and closure type. The linear cartoner can close and glue or tuck both ends of the carton as it moves through the system, ensuring a secure package for transport or storage. The SDC Linear Cartoner is PLC controlled with an intuitive HMI interface, making operation easy and efficient. With options for both manual or automated loading and unloading, the system offers a range of solutions to meet the specific needs of your packaging process.
