Dual-Row Bottle Cartoning System

Product Introduction

The Single/Double-Row Multi-Bottle Cartoning System is a high-efficiency, flexible automated packaging solution designed for grouping multiple bottles into cartons. Featuring a dual-row分流 (diverging flow) design and side-push cylinders for compact bottle alignment, it ensures precise gripping (±0.1mm positioning) via servo-driven clamping, compatible with round, square, irregular, and fragile bottles (e.g., cosmetics, vials). Supports quick changeover (parameter adjustments or modular tooling swaps) and seamless switching between single/double-row modes, enabling continuous production for high-mix, low-volume demands while maximizing line efficiency.

Core System Functions and Workflow

1. Infeed Integration

Seamlessly connects to the outlets of upstream machines such as filling and labeling systems. Ensures continuous and stable bottle feeding for uninterrupted cartoning.

2. Dual-Row Diverging Structure

A fixed middle divider is installed at the infeed to split a single bottle line into two lanes. This enables efficient dual-row bottle arrangement for higher packing density.

3. Side Push Cylinder Compression

Before the pick-up station, air cylinders push bottles inward from both sides to eliminate gaps. Bottles are realigned into a tight formation, allowing stable and accurate grasping by the robot arm.

4. Intelligent Gripper Mechanism

Driven by servo-powered screw modules, the gripper performs high-precision lateral movements with positioning accuracy up to ±0.1 mm. Equipped with parallel pneumatic jaws, adaptable to various bottle shapes.

Bottle Type Compatibility and Gripper Design

Quick Changeover and Multi-SKU Flexibility

Changeover is easy and fast—only requiring adjustments to robot arm parameters such as spacing and speed, or replacement of the gripping parts. No large-scale mechanical modifications are necessary, supporting short-batch, multi-format production.

Dual and Single Row Compatible

With programmable logic and controlled side-push cylinders, the same system can automatically switch between single-row and dual-row cartoning modes to meet various packaging needs.

Continuous Operation

The system is designed for non-stop bottle feeding, maximizing production efficiency and equipment utilization.
