Flexibility and future proofing

The 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.
