B350 Automatic Film Banding Machine

Separated drive and product zones - Servo drives, belts and cabling sit outside the product path, so cleaning and visual inspection of the carton channel can be done without opening a guarded drive bay; this reduces the number of contamination points to address in a GMP area assessment.

Multi-lane pre-collating - Cartons are arranged across several lanes in parallel before banding, which is what allows the machine to accept 300-400 cartons/min from an upstream cartoner instead of waiting on a single-file queue.

Reading the two speed figures together - Dividing the quoted 300-400 cartons/min infeed by the 30-40 bundles/min output gives roughly 8-13 cartons per bundle. That ratio, not the headline bundle speed, is what fixes the lane count and the collating program for a given pack format.

Servo-driven main axes and 10-minute changeover - Main axes are servo-driven, so stroke positions are defined in the motion program rather than by cylinder end stops; the manufacturer quotes all adjustments and mould changes within 10 minutes.

Package window L60-280 mm - The published bundle envelope tops out at L280 x W180 x H120 mm. With 8-13 cartons per bundle the practical limit is usually the collated stack size, so carton dimensions should be checked against the envelope before the lane count is fixed.
