Smurfit Westrock PMA Carton Closers are designed to glue close pre-erected and loaded wraparound fluted cardboard style cases.

Smurfit Westrock PMA Carton Closers come in a few different formats – for chocolate box type cartons we have single flap folder with glue closure, for wraparound style board we have three flap closure with glue closure.

Smurfit Westrock PMA Case Closers are designed to glue close pre-erected and loaded wraparound style cases.

For RSC or Fefco 0201 style cases we have centrefold case closer machine, with either tape or glue closure or a random case size machine in the same format, suited to ecommerce and warehouse dispatch operations.

Smurfit Westrock PMA random machine will take multiple sizes of RSC cases, fold and seal without the need for size changing. See also our warehouse dispatch automation section.

Flexibility and future proofing

The Smurfit Westrock PMA Carton Closer system design is modular to allow multiple variants with maximum flexibility.

Start with the individual machines to erect and close, with manual packing then add in a conveyor system with vision system and robotic pick and place to create a fully automatic system.

The machine frame and size are designed to suit your minimum and maximum carton sizes. Applications vary from production line applications to B2C single order dispatch from warehouses.

All our carton closing machines can be adapted to suit case size range.

Easy Access, Small footprint, Low Maintenance

As with all Smurfit Westrock PMA machines they are designed to be as compact as possible, with easy access for operators.

With servo controls throughout, changeover times are cut to a minimum, generally less than 5 minutes with one operator, with complete repeatability to ensure vertical start up.

Machine speeds of up to 30 cartons per minute, depending on product being handled and size of carton. Our machines are designed with maintenance in mind and it is a priority to ensure that upkeep is simple, quick and easy.

The system is UK designed and built for 24/7 operating environments, with full diagnostic system and Ethernet connectivity for remote support as standard.
