• Transfers grouped products to cartoning system

Configurable Output

• 16 sachets per box (retail format)

• 40 sachets per box (bulk format)

Engineering Challenge

Ice pop sachets are:

• Flexible

• Long and narrow

• Easy to overlap or jam

Solution

• Dedicated arranging conveyor structure

• Controlled timing and grouping logic

• Stable transfer into cartoning system

4. Cartoning System (Case Erecting + Loading + Sealing)

Included Modules

• Automatic case erector

• Product receiving conveyor

• Case sealing machine

System Capability

• Supports multiple carton sizes

• Adjustable loading configuration

• Fully automatic operation

Engineering Value

• Ensures consistent quantity per box

• Improves overall production efficiency

Production Performance Analysis

Why This Speed is Optimal

The limitation comes from:

• Liquid filling cycle time

• Multilane synchronization

• Sealing and cooling requirements

This is a stability-focused design, not a maximum-speed configuration.

• No manual transfer required

• Continuous production flow

• Eliminates bottlenecks

2. Multi-Flavor Continuous Production

• 4 flavors processed simultaneously

• Independent channels

• Reduced downtime

3. High-Accuracy Counting System

• Fixed quantity per box

• Stable grouping performance

• Direct integration with cartoning

4. Upstream Integration Capability

• Connects to external liquid tanks

• Signal interface reserved

• Ready for full-line automation

FAQ – Ice Pop Packaging and Cartoning System

1. Can the system run continuously?

Yes. It is designed for long-hour continuous operation with stable feeding and synchronized control.

2. How is accurate box quantity ensured?

Through the integrated counting and grouping system before cartoning.

3. Is multi-flavor production stable?

Yes. Independent channels and peristaltic pumps ensure consistent performance.

4. Can the system connect to upstream mixing tanks?

Yes. It supports external tank connection with level sensors and signal integration.
