OPERATIVE FLOW
The boxes, coming from the filling stations, are centred, gated and fed to the machine by the indexing unit
AS24.
The same indexing unit is equipped with a reading head for the identification of the format of the introduced box
and the position of the following upper forming group correctly by appropriate electro-pneumatic interface de-
vices.
The driving belts transport the box during the different phases, from flaps folding to the following sealing, to the
exit of the same box.
