Key Operational Stages
From bottle feeding to finished carton discharge, every stage is engineered for maximum uptime, minimal operator intervention, and GMP compliance.
1
Automatic Bottle Feeding
Bottles are precisely indexed and fed from a turntable or conveyor, ensuring stable and orderly entry. Our servo-controlled indexing system adjusts speed dynamically to match upstream production, eliminating bottlenecks and preventing tip-overs.
Precision Indexing
2
Carton Erecting
A vacuum-powered system picks and erects flat cartons from the magazine with a >99.5% success rate. The magazine holds up to 500 cartons, with an automatic low-level sensor to prevent machine stops. Tool-free format changeover takes under 10 minutes.
99.5% Success
3
Leaflet Folding & Insertion (Optional)
The GUK-style leaflet folder can perform 1-4 folds, then inserts the instructions cleanly alongside the bottle. Supports multi-language leaflets (A4, A3, or custom sizes) and includes a "no leaflet, no carton" safety interlock to prevent packaging errors.
1-4 Folds
4
Product Pushing
A servo-controlled pusher gently places the bottle and leaflet into the erected carton, with overload protection to prevent jams. The pusher speed and force are programmable via HMI, ensuring delicate glass bottles are never damaged—even at maximum speed.
Zero Damage
5
Carton Sealing
Both ends of the carton are sealed using either tuck-in flaps or hot-melt glue, creating a secure, professional finish. The sealing station includes vision inspection to detect incomplete closures, rejecting defective cartons automatically to maintain 100% quality.
100% Quality
6
Finished Product Output
Completed cartons are discharged onto a conveyor, ready for case packing or palletizing. The output conveyor can be synchronized with downstream equipment (such as case packers or serialization systems) via standard protocols (OPC-UA, Modbus, or Profinet).

What Sets Us Apart
Engineered for Performance,
Built for Reliability
Every component is selected and tested to meet the harshest pharmaceutical and cosmetic production demands. Here's what makes the HIJ-120B your smartest investment.
Intelligent Servo Control
We use top-tier brands like Siemens or Allen-Bradley. Servo motors control key movements, offering unmatched precision, stability, and easy parameter changes via the HMI. No more guesswork—adjust speed, timing, and positioning with a few taps.
Robust & GMP-Compliant Frame
The main frame is built from heavy-duty steel with an SS304 casing. All product-contact parts are made from polished SS316L stainless steel, fully complying with pharmaceutical GMP standards. Easy to clean, corrosion-resistant, and built to last decades.
Intuitive HMI Interface
A large, full-color touchscreen displays production data, alarms, and troubleshooting guides in multiple languages. It's designed for operators, not programmers. Real-time batch tracking, OEE monitoring, and remote diagnostics are all standard.
Flexible & Versatile Design
Our machine can handle a wide range of bottle shapes (round, square, oval) and carton sizes. Optional modules for leaflet folding, code printing (embossing or inkjet), and automatic rejection are available. One machine, endless possibilities.

Q1
What is the price of your automatic bottle cartoning machine?
Honest answer: The price depends on your specific requirements. Here's what affects the cost:
• Speed: A 60 bpm machine costs less than a 120 bpm model.
• Bottle Type: Glass bottles require gentler feeding systems than plastic.
• Customization: Standard configurations are more affordable. Special carton sizes, leaflet folding modules, or vision inspection systems add to the investment.
• Compliance Level: Full 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and IQ/OQ documentation packages require additional engineering.
Typical range: For a standard HIJ-120B (30-120 bpm, basic configuration), expect $35,000 - $65,000 USD depending on options. But don't guess—let's calculate your exact ROI together.
Q2
Can this machine handle both glass and plastic bottles?
Yes, absolutely. Our flexible feeding system is specifically designed to handle both materials without damage:
For Glass Bottles: We use soft, food-grade silicone belts and adjustable lane guides to prevent scratches and chipping. The entry speed is precisely controlled to avoid collisions.
For Plastic Bottles: Our system applies gentle pressure to prevent deformation, especially for thin-walled containers. The gripper mechanism is adjustable for different bottle stiffness levels.
Changeover is simple: You can switch from glass to plastic (or vice versa) in under 15 minutes by adjusting the feeding parameters on the HMI—no need to swap out physical parts.
Q3
We have an existing filling and capping machine. Can you integrate with it?
Absolutely. In fact, this is one of our specialties. We've integrated with dozens of different filling and capping brands over the years.
What we do:
1. We analyze your upstream equipment's speed, bottle discharge pattern, and control system.
2. Our engineers design a custom buffer system (accumulation table or timing screw) to match production speeds.
3. We synchronize the PLC communication so that if your filler stops, the cartoner pauses automatically—no bottle jams, no waste.
4. We provide complete electrical schematics and support your maintenance team during installation.
Result: A seamless production flow where all machines work as one unified system. You won't even remember they came from different suppliers.
Q4
How long does a size changeover take?
Under 20 minutes for a trained operator to complete a full changeover to a new bottle and carton size. Here's why we're so fast:
• Tool-Free Adjustments: All key components (bottle lane guides, carton magazine, leaflet folder) use quick-release knobs and sliding rails—no wrenches needed.
• Digital Position Indicators: The HMI displays exact positions for each product size. Your operator follows on-screen instructions and locks each adjustment into place.
• Recipe Storage: Save up to 50 product recipes in the HMI. Next time you run the same SKU, just load the saved settings—takes 2 minutes.
Comparison: Many older machines require 60-90 minutes and multiple technicians. Our design is built for flexible, multi-SKU production environments.
Q5
Do you provide validation documents for pharmaceutical use?
Yes, we provide a full documentation package to support your GMP validation process:
Standard Documents (Included):
• Design Qualification (DQ)
• Installation Qualification (IQ) protocols and reports
• Operational Qualification (OQ) protocols and reports
• Material certificates for all product-contact parts (SS316L)
• Electrical schematics and pneumatic diagrams
• Bill of Materials (BOM) with part traceability
Optional (Available on Request):
• Performance Qualification (PQ) support
• 21 CFR Part 11 compliant control system (electronic records & signatures)
• Risk Assessment (FMEA) documentation
• On-site validation support by our engineers
We understand audits: Our documents are written to satisfy FDA, EMA, WHO GMP, and ANVISA inspectors. We've been through hundreds of audits with our clients—we know exactly what regulators look for.
