UR-120 Horizontal Cartoning Machine: Premium Automatic Horizontal Cartoner for Pharma, Food & Cosmetic Packaging

Introduction
If you’re searching for a reliable, multi-functional automatic horizontal cartoning machine to streamline end-of-line packaging for pharmaceutical, food, or cosmetic production lines, our UR-120 Horizontal Cartoning Machine stands out as a top-tier industrial packaging solution engineered for versatile, high-efficiency box packing. Developed as an integrated mechatronic & pneumatic packaging unit, this GMP compliant horizontal cartoner combines automated leaflet folding, carton picking & opening, product feeding, in-box insertion, carton sealing and defective product rejection in one compact frame, catering to both mass single-variety manufacturing and small-batch multi-spec production demands across global packaging industries.
Designed for overseas markets including Brazil, South America and Southeast Asia (matching UBM project specification UBM-251210001), the UR-120 cartoning machine runs on 220V/60Hz AC power, fully aligned with Latin American industrial power standards, making it a preferred choice for international packaging factory upgrades and new production line setup.

1. Wide Industry Compatibility & Flexible Format Switching
As a versatile pharmaceutical cartoning machine, UR-120 is perfectly matched with aluminum-aluminum, aluminum-plastic blister packaging machines for on-line linkage, fully complying with international GMP pharmaceutical production quality standards, ideal for blister-packed tablets, capsules and medicinal plates packaging. Beyond pharma sectors, it efficiently packs finished goods for food, cosmetics, daily chemicals and small consumer commodities.
Supports quick mold & specification replacement with short debugging cycles; operators finish size adjustment within minutes without professional heavy modification, satisfying small-lot multi-product production and large-volume uniform manufacturing simultaneously.
Adjustable carton dimension range: 70–180mm(L)×35–85mm(W)×14–50mm(H), applicable for cartons made of 250~350g/m² imported white cardboard; leaflets with 60–70g/m² white paper support 1~4 customized folds for instruction manual packaging.

2. Stable High-Speed Packaging Performance
The UR-120 high speed cartoning equipment delivers adjustable cartoning speed from 30 to 120 boxes per minute, balancing fast output and precise packaging quality. Driven by optimized main transmission cams and servo feeding system, the whole mechanical structure operates smoothly with low noise and minimal mechanical vibration:
Servo-controlled product feeding station with PLC & photoelectric detection avoids empty feeding or missing product issues; material measuring cylinder plus optical sensors automatically detect missing raw materials to prevent faulty boxing.
Independent leaflet folding assembly (core feature of our leaflet folding carton packaging machine) adopts vacuum suction nozzle + middle paper divider separation design to pick single leaflet accurately, eliminating multi-sheet picking or paper missing failures; up to 13 customized leaflet folding styles including single fold, Z-fold, letter fold and 4-layer mixed fold to meet diverse instruction layout requirements.

3. Intelligent PLC Electric Control & Complete Safety Protection
Equipped with Siemens PLC + human-machine touchscreen interface, the UR-120 horizontal cartoner features intuitive English/Portuguese multi-language operation panel tailored for South American clients, with three core working modes: Jog, Automatic Run and Debugging Mode:
Real-time on-screen data display: instant cartoning speed, qualified/unqualified box counting, parameter setting for leaflet suction, carton detection and waste rejection thresholds.
Full-process safety interlock system: proximity switches for carton jam protection, low air pressure interlock, missing leaflet/carton auto-stop, and automatic defective carton ejection via reject cylinder under PLC command to cut packaging waste loss.
All moving parts fitted with safety covers; emergency stop button and inverter fault alarm ensure operator safety during daily production.

4. Robust Build & Easy Maintenance
Overall machine dimension: 3750×1300×1800mm with total weight around 1400KG, fixed on flat ground via four adjustable support legs for horizontal leveling installation.
Pre-coated anti-rust grease before factory shipment; operators clean residual grease with alcohol and cotton cloth before startup for long service life.
Clear maintenance schedule: cam & drive chain lubrication every 15~40 working hours with No.50 machine oil; gear lubrication every 3 months using ZG-1/ ZG-2 calcium-based grease; quarterly full machine inspection on transmission components to reduce unexpected breakdowns.
Complete spare parts packing list supplied together with each unit: screwdrivers, hex spanners, replacement suction cups, conveyor belts, leaflet clips and customized steel coding characters (0-9, dot & slash), plus full set operation manual and electrical schematic drawings for after-sales maintenance convenience.

Standard Working Environment & Core Technical Specifications

Connect compressed air pipeline and 220V/60Hz power supply, complete grounding inspection.
Pre-check loose components, clear machine surface dirt, confirm no fault alerts on PLC control menu.
Disable suction paper & suction carton function first, jog machine to test mechanical running status without abnormal noise.
Load cartons into carton storage rack, fill leaflets in folding station and raw products in feeding hopper following specified height limits.
Enable leaflet suction and carton suction one by one, jog intermittently until finished products come out from outlet conveyor.
Inspect finished carton sealing & leaflet insertion quality, switch PLC to automatic mode for continuous formal production.
Common Troubleshooting for Stable Long-Term Production
As a mature industrial cartoning solution, most machine failures derive from improper component adjustment, with quick fixes listed for regular faults:
Failed carton suction: Aging suction cup → replace spare suction cup; wrong carton storage position → readjust carton bin width/length according to unfolded carton size.
Multiple leaflets picked by suction nozzle: Incorrect paper stack frame angle → adjust longitudinal & horizontal baffle of leaflet rack to standard dimension (leaflet edge 55~60mm away from suction hole center).
Air leakage on pneumatic path: Check all air pipe connections and valve fittings for blockage or loose joint, fasten or replace damaged air components timely.

Why Choose UR-120 Horizontal Cartoning Machine for Your Packaging Line?
