Automatic Nougat Cartoning Machine with Intelligent Collation and Zero-Crush

Product Specification

Product Description

The automatic nougat cartoning machine is designed for high-speed and precision packaging of irregular confectionery products such as nougat. This system integrates intelligent collation, carton forming, product insertion, and sealing into a fully automated packaging solution.

Engineered specifically for irregular and soft products, the system ensures stable stacking, smooth insertion, and high-density packing. With advanced servo-driven mechanisms and food-grade construction, it guarantees both production efficiency and product integrity in large-scale confectionery manufacturing.

Production Process

1. Nougat products in flow packs are automatically fed into the system from upstream packaging lines.
2. An intelligent collation system organizes and stacks irregular products into precise configurations for cartoning.
3. Cartons are formed and positioned using a servo-driven system for accurate alignment.
4. Products are inserted into cartons using continuous horizontal pushing with top press-down stabilization.
5. Cartons are sealed securely and transferred to the discharge conveyor for downstream handling.

This process ensures smooth, high-speed operation while maintaining the integrity and appearance of delicate products.

Core Features

1. Custom Intelligent Collation System
Designed specifically for irregular shapes such as nougat, ensuring accurate grouping and stable stacking before insertion.

2. Scalable High-Speed Production Capacity
Supports flexible configurations with production capacity ranging from 100 to 180 cartons per minute, adapting to different production line speeds.

3. Zero-Crush Continuous Pushing Technology
Horizontal servo-driven pushing combined with top press-down guides ensures zero product deformation and maintains perfect product appearance.

4. Servo-Driven Precision Control System
Advanced servo mechanisms provide accurate positioning, synchronized movement, and stable high-speed performance.

5. Food-Grade Structure and GMP Compliance
Constructed with 304/316L stainless steel and designed for washdown environments, ensuring compliance with food safety and GMP standards.

6. High-Density Packing Efficiency
Optimized stacking and insertion process allows more products per carton while maintaining order and product integrity.
