Quick Answer
A bottle cartoning machine erects a flat carton, inserts an oriented bottle with an optional folded leaflet, applies batch coding where specified and closes the carton by tuck-in flaps or hot-melt glue. The published HIJ-130B range is 30–80 cartons per minute with cartons from 70×30×13 mm to 200×150×70 mm. Confirm the bottle feeder, leaflet, coding, inspection and line-interface scope before quotation.
Key Takeaways
- Published output: 30–80 cartons/min; the accepted sustained rate must be verified with production-representative bottles, cartons and leaflets at FAT.
- Format scope: bottle feeder, carton size, leaflet folds, closure method and change parts are configured for the approved SKU matrix.
- Control components: the published configuration lists Siemens control, Schneider electrics, Omron sensors and AirTAC pneumatics; confirm the final bill of materials in the quotation.
- Project evidence: list required drawings, manuals, material records, FAT tests and qualification support in the URS.
- Line integration: define interlocks, reject logic and signal exchange with the filler, capper, checkweigher and case packer in the I/O list.

The Bottleneck Problem
Match the Cartoner to the Filling Line's Accepted Output
A bottle line can lose throughput when carton erecting, leaflet insertion, product orientation or downstream handling cannot keep pace. An automatic cartoning machine should be sized from accepted good packs, not headline speed alone.
Manual Handling Variability
Manual carton forming, leaflet insertion and product loading can make output and traceability dependent on staffing and operator method.
Pack-Quality Risk
Missing leaflets, incorrect codes, damaged bottles and open flaps require defined inspection points, reject logic and challenge tests.
Undefined Line Interfaces
Without clear accumulation, run/stop signals and reject handling, the filler, capper and cartoner can create avoidable stops or product gaps.
The engineering task is to map each risk to a mechanism and test: specify bottle presentation, carton and leaflet detection, reject confirmation, buffer capacity and PLC handshakes. Confirm the selected scope across the cartoning machine range or a complete turnkey packaging line.

Working Principle
How the HIJ-130B Cartons a Bottle in Six Automatic Stages
From loose bottle to sealed, batch-coded carton in a single pass — light, electric, pneumatic, and mechanical systems working on one synchronized main drive. For the full engineering breakdown, read our guide on how a cartoning machine works.
STAGE 1
Automatic Bottle Feeding
The optional bottle feeder receives filled, capped bottles and indexes them into the product chain. Confirm bottle orientation, accumulation and no-bottle/no-carton logic in the project scope.
STAGE 2
Carton Pick & Erecting
AirTAC vacuum generators pick flat carton blanks (300–350 g/m²) from the magazine and square them open into the transport chain.
STAGE 3
Leaflet Folding & Insertion (optional)
The leaflet device folds 60–70 g/m² sheets up to 310×210 mm in 1–4 folds and pairs each leaflet with its bottle before insertion.
STAGE 4
Product Pushing
A cam-driven pusher slides the bottle and leaflet into the carton. Define presence sensing, pusher overload response and acceptable product condition at FAT.
STAGE 5
Batch Coding & Sealing
Flaps are embossed with the batch number and closed by tuck-in tongue as standard — or by the optional Meler hot-melt glue unit for tamper-evident sealing.
STAGE 6
Reject & Output
Where configured, cartons failing the defined product or leaflet checks are rejected; accepted cartons discharge toward the checkweigher or case packer.
Engineering & Build
Confirm the Control, Safety and Maintenance Scope Before Order
The published HIJ-130B configuration lists stainless guarding, accessible product-contact areas, safety covers and named control components. Confirm materials, brands, interlocks, spare parts and required documents in the bill of materials and quotation. Use our guide to cartoning-machine URS and quality requirements when preparing the project scope.
Siemens Control Core
S7-200 PLC, SMART 700IE V3 touchscreen HMI, and SINAMICS V20 frequency drive — set carton counts, speeds, and recipes directly on screen.
Omron In-Line Detection
Photoelectric sensors and fiber amplifiers verify bottle, leaflet, and carton at each station; incomplete cartons are auto-rejected before output.
Overload Self-Protection
The machine stops automatically on overload and displays the fault and its location on the HMI, with alarm and finished-product counting built in.
AirTAC Pneumatics
Vacuum generators, solenoid valves, and cylinders from AirTAC handle carton pick-up, pressing, and reject — running on ≥0.6 MPa plant air.
Batch Number Embossing
Indentation batch coding is built into the sealing station, keeping lot traceability on every carton without a separate coder.
Glass & Plastic Bottle Formats
Guides and feed timing are configured around the approved bottles. Formats outside the published carton range require an engineering review and a project-specific frame.

Selection Framework
Choose the Right Bottle Cartoning Approach
Compare the required accepted output, SKU range, inspection scope, changeover method and documentation before choosing a platform. Use the same URS and sample set for every supplier.
| Decision factor | HIJ-130B platform | Higher-output servo platform | Manual or semi-automatic packing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Output basis | Published 30–80 cartons/min; verify at FAT | Selected when accepted output exceeds this range | Batch and staffing dependent |
| Product feeding | Project-specific bottle feeder and guides | Often uses more complex servo feeding and buffering | Operator presentation and loading |
| SKU change | Mechanical format parts and documented settings | May add servo recipes and automated adjustments | Flexible but method-dependent |
| Inspection | Specify sensors, reject logic and challenge tests | Can support expanded vision and data options | Relies on defined manual checks |
| Project evidence | URS, approved samples, FAT records and agreed documents | Define the same evidence before comparison | Define work instructions and inspection records |
| Best fit | Bottle lines within the validated format and output envelope | Higher throughput or advanced automation requirements | Pilot, low-volume or highly variable runs |
Supplier comparisons are only meaningful when every quotation covers the same bottles, cartons, leaflets, options, documentation, FAT, shipping and service boundary.
Define the Project Before Releasing the Purchase Order
The quotation should identify every approved bottle, carton and leaflet; the feed and closure configuration; the electrical parts list; upstream and downstream interfaces; and the exact FAT evidence used for acceptance.
If the required accepted output is below the practical threshold for automation, compare the full cost and control requirements of manual, semi-automatic and automatic packing before selecting the machine.

Weight control, shipper casesBottle Cartoning Machine FAQ
Questions to resolve before approving the bottle, carton, leaflet and line-interface scope.
How is an automatic bottle cartoning machine priced?
Price depends on the bottle feeder, carton and leaflet formats, change parts, closure method, coding, inspection, reject system, line interfaces, electrical standard, documentation, FAT, shipping and service scope. Send representative samples and a URS for an itemized quotation.
Can it handle both glass and plastic bottles?
The platform can be configured for approved round glass or plastic bottle formats. Bottle stability, orientation, surface condition, wall strength and carton clearance must be evaluated with representative samples. A 10 ml bottle or wine-bottle project is not assumed to fit without this review, and formats outside the published carton range require separate engineering approval.
Can it integrate with an existing filling and capping line?
Integration is project-specific. Provide the upstream discharge pattern, accepted speed, conveyor height, accumulation requirement and signal list. The quotation should define mechanical interfaces, PLC handshakes, reject routing, electrical drawings and commissioning responsibilities.
How should carton-size changeover be evaluated?
Changeover depends on the difference between bottle and carton formats, the required change parts, adjustment points and operator method. List every planned SKU, document the procedure and measure the agreed changeover during FAT instead of relying on an estimated time.
Which FAT and qualification documents can HIJ supply?
Document scope is project-specific. List the required drawings, manuals, material records, parts list, risk records, FAT protocol and any qualification support in the URS, then include the agreed deliverables in the quotation. The buyer's quality team remains responsible for site qualification and regulatory approval.
How are delivery, warranty and service terms confirmed?
These terms depend on the approved configuration, tooling, documentation, FAT and destination. The signed quotation should state the production schedule, buyer sample deadlines, FAT window, Incoterms, warranty scope, spare-parts package, commissioning and training responsibilities.
Every project is different — send us your bottle and carton dimensions and we'll answer with numbers, not slogans.
