CE-130B/180B/200B/250B Automatic Foods (The Tray) Cartoning Machine

Automatic Cartoning for Tray-Packed Food Products

The CE-130B/180B/200B/250B Automatic Foods (The Tray) Cartoning Machine is designed to place prepared tray-packed food products into paperboard cartons through a coordinated automatic cycle. Carton opening, product insertion, and box closing are brought together in one machine process, helping packaging operations move from infeed to finished-carton output with fewer separate handling steps. The CE series can be used as a standalone cartoner or connected with compatible upstream and downstream equipment as part of a packaging line.

For food trays and other compatible packs, successful cartoning begins with the actual product arrangement, carton blank, and required output format. The machine is intended to handle paperboard cartons within the selected model's stated range. Product orientation, carton dimensions, tray condition, and any leaflet requirement should be considered together when choosing a configuration. This makes the CE-130B/180B/200B/250B Automatic Foods (The Tray) Cartoning Machine a practical option for packers seeking an organized cartoning workflow for compatible tray-packed products.

Coordinated Cartoning Process

During operation, the machine opens a paperboard carton, loads the prepared product, and closes the box. Depending on the packaging arrangement, the process can also include leaflet folding, batch-number printing, and carton sealing operations. Mechanical movement works with electrical, pneumatic, and optical functions to coordinate these stages. The result is a defined route for products that need consistent placement inside an outer carton rather than a sequence of separate manual packing actions.

The cartoner's PLC control system, human-machine interface, and variable-frequency speed adjustment support centralized operation. Operators can use the interface to manage the machine process, while finished-product counting helps make carton output easier to follow. Mechanical-overload stopping, fault indications, and alarms are provided to support machine operation. Automatic rejection of cartons missing the required product or leaflet helps identify incomplete packs before they continue through the line.

Features for Compatible Carton Formats

• Automatic carton opening, product loading, and box closing in a coordinated cartoning cycle.
• PLC-based control with variable-frequency speed adjustment and a human-machine interface.
• Mechanical overload stopping, fault display, and alarm functions for operational support.
• Finished-carton counting for monitoring carton output.
• Automatic rejection of cartons without the required product or leaflet.
• Standalone operation or integration with compatible packaging-line equipment.

These functions are intended to support repeatable carton handling where the product pack and carton are suited to the chosen model. Instead of selecting a machine only by rated output, start with whether cartons and prepared products arrive consistently at the transfer point. The CE-130B/180B/200B/250B Automatic Foods (The Tray) Cartoning Machine should be viewed as one link between infeed, cartoning, and outfeed handling, rather than as an isolated packaging step.

Model Range and Carton Capacity

The CE series includes four models so the cartoning range can be matched to the package size and planned production rate. CE-130B is listed at 30–80 boxes per minute and accepts cartons from 75–240 mm long, 60–130 mm wide, and 20–90 mm high. CE-180B is listed at 30–60 boxes per minute with carton dimensions of 90–240 mm long, 90–180 mm wide, and 20–90 mm high.

For larger carton formats, CE-200B is listed at 30–50 boxes per minute and supports cartons from 120–330 mm long, 100–200 mm wide, and 30–90 mm high. CE-250B is listed at 20–40 boxes per minute and supports cartons from 120–330 mm long, 150–250 mm wide, and 30–90 mm high. Carton quality and dimensions should be confirmed against the selected model before final configuration.

Shared Utility Requirements

All four models use paperboard in the 250–450 g/m² range, subject to confirmation based on carton dimensions. The stated utility requirements are 380 V / 50 Hz power, a 1.5 kW motor, compressed-air working pressure of at least 0.6 MPa, and compressed-air consumption of 20 m³/h. These common requirements provide a clear starting point for line planning, while the carton dimensions and product arrangement determine which model is appropriate for a given pack.

Move from a broad food-packaging application to the actual carton dimensions, tray profile, product behavior, and required carton contents. If the carton blank and product feed remain consistent, the relevant CE model can be considered against its stated carton range; application-specific details still need confirmation for the final packaging task.

Applications and Line Integration

The CE-130B/180B/200B/250B Automatic Foods (The Tray) Cartoning Machine is primarily intended for tray-packed food products that fit the applicable carton dimensions. The automatic opening, loading, and closing sequence can help organize the final cartoning stage for prepared food packs. Where the product arrangement and carton format are compatible, related cartoning applications may also include pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronics, automotive parts, and everyday consumer goods.

Choose the Right CE Model

The practical selection question is whether the packed product, carton format, and required operating speed align with the published range of CE-130B, CE-180B, CE-200B, or CE-250B. Before confirming a model, review the fully packed carton dimensions, intended product orientation, paperboard specification, and whether a leaflet is included. Sharing these packaging details supports a focused discussion of the appropriate configuration and line interface.
