R.A Jones introduces automatic magazine loader for cartoning machines
To combat ongoing labor issues and meet surging demand for consumer-packaged goods throughout the coronavirus pandemic, US-based R.A Jones has designed and debuted an automatic magazine loader (AML) for use with its cartoning machines.
The company said the solution is modular in design, easy to use, and cost-effective, and enables manufacturers to implement labor-saving automated technology into the production line and increase output speeds within a small footprint.
The AML promotes cartoning-line efficiency by automatically pulling carton-filled cases off a conveyor and orienting them properly for loading. It then extracts the cartons from a case, loads them onto the magazine and disposes of the case.
