11132026 Krones Varioline 2M Automatic Glass Bottle Basket-Carrier
Multipacker
Krones Varioline 2M is a modular, fully automatic secondary packaging
machine designed for grouping and packing glass bottles into printed
paperboard multipacks. Machine was built in year 2017 and it has been
in operation only approx. 8000 hours. This machine is configured for
producing open-top, basket-style bottle carriers incorporating an
integrated carrying handle and internal bottle-separating
partitions.
The carton forming section consists of two integrated processing
modules and three servo-controlled portal handling robots Module 1 –
Robot 1, Module 2 – Robot 1, and Module 2 – Robot 2.Flat
paperboard blanks are introduced into the machine, erected and formed
into basket carriers. Glass bottles are supplied through the
integrated product infeed, grouped into the required formation and
transferred into the prepared cartons using robotic gripper systems.
The completed multipacks are then discharged to downstream conveying
or palletising equipment.
The Krones Varioline platform is designed for flexible processing of
secondary and tertiary packaging formats. Its modular construction
permits the integration of multipack handling, carton forming, product
loading and package-completion functions within one coordinated
machine system.
Designed for high production efficiency and rapid format changeovers,
the system enables manufacturers to respond quickly to changing market
demands while minimizing downtime.
