One glance at the current MERLIN cartoners will assure you of its refinement. But dont be swayed by its sleek lines alone. Wait to watch it perform before you make up your mind. As
efficient as it is imposing, the Merlin is named after a majestic strain of the falcon family which inspires both its styling and its soul.
The flagship model MERLIN 300XC is a cartoner born for the faster time-to-market age. This baby is poised with a top speed of 300 cartons per minute to become an
indispensable link in the customers manufacturing process.

At the heart of these machines is the rotary carton pick-up system which grabs the carton from the magazine, pre-breaks it by counter suction, and then loads it
smoothly into the carton chain. The carriers in the chain then hold the carton squarely till product-loading and carton-closing is completed. There are 4 models in the
Merlin series, each fitted with one to three rotary arms, depending on the model speed.

A Cartoner is not a standalone machine, which is how some manufacturers offer them. An automated and synchronized link-up with the upstream machine is Vectacrafts
strength.
Transfer systems consisting mainly of pick & place arrangement aided by servo drives and pneumatics are used.
