Compact 4
Compact Vertical Cartoner
Featuring the patented “Stella” 8-pocket quick size adjust starwheel, the ADCO Compact 4 was designed to form, load and seal small to medium size vertical end load cartons.
The patented design of the Compact 4 enables rapid “no-tool” changeover and it can be configured with fully automatic product and leaflet loading options as well. With its space-saving footprint and flexible design, the Compact 4 is ideal for pharmaceutical and cosmetic packagers. This simple-to-operate and ergonomically designed machine includes two standard hand load stations coupled with light curtains and product sensors for safe, automatic machine cycling speeds up to 40 cartons per minute. Like all ADCO machines, the Compact 4 is constructed in stainless steel.
