VORTEX Automatic Tray Former
VORTEX is a family of tray-forming systems available in several configurations.
VORTEX is available as a medium-speed version with a capacity of up to 22 trays per minute and as a VORTEX HIGH-SPEED version with a capacity of up to 40 trays per minute for high-output production lines.
In the VORTEX HIGH-SPEED version, all main movements are servo-driven and coordinated by the motion-control system.
VORTEX tray formers are designed for demanding 24/7 production environments in the dairy industry and other industrial applications.
VORTEX can also be supplied with an integrated loading module. This configuration is presented separately as the COMBYPACK system.
VORTEX is an indexing-motion system in which cardboard blanks are fed and formed into trays through several synchronized forming stations. The complete process is automated and controlled by the PLC and sensor system. Depending on the machine version, movements are driven by electric motors or servo drives.
The forming process ensures accurately positioned trays with precise 90° geometry.
VORTEX machines can be adjusted for different tray dimensions. Format changeover time is up to 20 minutes.
