Bartelt HLG

The Bartelt HLG is a mechanically driven cartoner, designed for simplicity and reliability in manual product loading applications. Its modular design allows for easy customization, with options to extend loading stations to accommodate up to five operators or product feeders, increasing productivity. Depending on the application, the HLG can operate in either continuous or intermittent motion, achieving speeds of up to 100 cartons per minute.

This cartoner is ideal for industries such as instant meals, pharmaceuticals, and powders, offering flexible packaging solutions for a wide range of carton styles, including tuck end, glued end, gable top, and reverse tuck end. Its manual loading feature and ergonomic design make it a practical choice for companies seeking a balance between automation and hands-on product handling.

  • Four primary stations: hopper, setup, load, and closure
  • Cartons are loaded into an angled hopper behind spring-loaded bars to ensure proper feeding
  • Each carton is picked from the hopper by vacuum cups
  • A proprietary, cam-activated mechanism pre-breaks the flat-folded carton 160˚, presenting it squarely to the loading station
  • Pushers move the carton precisely along its path and ensure square closures
  • As the open carton passes to the hand-load station, the operator inserts the product down a 30˚ inclined load table
  • Once loaded, the carton moves to the closure station where the ends are folded, tucked, and/or glue-sealed
  • Quiet operation is achieved using a #40 chain mounted in self-lubricating, high-density UHMW plastic tracks
  • Clutch-protected drive system enhances durability and protects against overload
  • Ergonomic 30˚ incline gravity feed table minimizes operator fatigue
  • 160˚ pre-break accommodates a wide variety of carton types and board structures
  • Ability to handle multiple carton constructions for increased flexibility
  • Easy manual adjustments for height and depth changes
  • Digital readouts provide fast and accurate size changeovers
  • Supports tuck or glue closure methods
  • Modular components allow upgrades to up to five manual loading stations
