How is a changeover done?

The Syntegon HMI 4.0 supports the operator in this task. The HMI 4.0 is an intuitive, user-friendly interface that contains recipes and videos to guide operators through the changeover process. The Kliklok BEC endload cartoner has easy access to the entire machine, and the three-dimensional size change requires minimal tools. It can be completed in less than 10 minutes by a single operator.

Which are the best cleaning methods for the BEC endload cartoner?

A standard Kliklok BEC endload (sideload) cartoner is IP54 rated. It can be cleaned using a cloth and warm water. The BEC can also be customized to work in IP65 or caustic wash-down environments, allowing it to be installed in a variety of applications including high care environments.

Which Service Agreement do you recommend for the BEC endload cartoner?

At Syntegon, we have packaged our Service offering into Service Agreements for your convenience. Our seven agreement levels are packed with risk reduction, peace of mind and ultimately value. Effective asset and maintenance management both increases the lifespan and improves the performance and reliability of your equipment. This means fewer breakdowns, fewer subsequent repairs and less unplanned equipment downtime. We support you with standardized packages from inspection to guaranteed production performance of your machines. All levels are available at a fixed price and can be customized with additional services. Our experts will be happy to consult you to find the ideal Service Agreement for your production.

Can the BEC endload cartoner handle all types of board?

Yes, the Kliklok BEC can handle all types of board with ease. Cartons are generally manufactured from two types of board. Solid board is more commonly used for secondary packaging applications and comes in two types - virgin and recycled board. Virgin board is made from 100 percent virgin fibers while recycled board may consist of up to 100 percent of recycled fibers. This type is more economical, but it has less strength. The BEC endloader (sideloader) is equipped with our patented Rotary Carton Feeder which was developed specifically to cope with recycled boards at higher speed; giving you flexibility to handle all of your cartoning needs.

What is the hopper specification?

The standard hopper is 1,500 mm long and holds approximately 1,350 carton blanks (depending on board quality and thickness). This is approximately 10 minutes of running. Options are available for a longer hopper, if required. As an option, a BEC Cobot can be included to fully automate continuous carton loading. It is programmed to pick cartons off the pallet, place them on the hopper and gently push the cartons along the hopper at the right pace whilst ensuring cartons remain in their optimal position.

How much electricity and air does the BEC endload cartoner consume?

The newest version BEC endloader has improved its consumption rating. Now, it is more energy efficient, consuming 7 kWh during normal working conditions. Air consumption is 520 l/min.

How many operators are required to operate the BEC?

The basic operator tasks consist of filling the hopper with carton blanks and filling the glue tank with pellets. Cobot solutions can be provided to load the hopper and to autofill the glue system. The number of operators required for loading the product into the product infeed conveyor (PIC) really depends on the speed of the machine, product application and the overall level of automation of your packaging line. Syntegon can also provide various different loading options to automate manual tasks.

To which norms does the Kliklok BEC endload cartoner comply to?

The new Kliklok BEC endloader is supplied fully compliant to CE / UKCA standard. Depending on the final destination, the machine can be supplied fully compliant to UL and AS3000. As standard, the BEC endload cartoner is IP54 compliant. It can be wiped down with mild detergent and warm water. Optionally, the BEC can be installed in other environments, including high care where IP65 and/or caustic wash-down is required.

What are the shipping weight and dimensions?

The BEC endload cartoner is shipped on a wooden pallet with the following dimensions and weight: length 6.5m / width 2.3m / height 1.9m packed weight incl. pallet 3,270 kg Please contact your sales contact, if you have special access / egress requirements.

Do I require air conditioning for the machine in a bakery environment?

The Kliklok BEC control system is Beckhoff AMP. As the system is mounted on-board the machine and does not require a separate electrical panel, air-conditioning is not required.

What industries does the BEC endload cartoner suit?

The Kliklok BEC can fit into many different industries and applications ranging from chilled and frozen, bakery, confectionary, biscuits & crackers, bag in box, bars to other non-food industries. We can also provide loading equipment to collate and stack where necessary.

Can the pitch width be set automatically via the HMI?

The standard Kliklok BEC endload cartoner has a 12”/304 mm pitch. Each pocket is 12”/304 mm long, with a usable length allowing for guides of 10.25”/ 260 mm. A size change on the BEC endloader takes approximately 10 minutes. Specifications are shown in the HMI with easy-to-read adjustment points, making accurate and repeatable size changes easy for the operator. The height is adjusted manually, while the width is adjusted within the HMI. Feedback to the HMI is required so that the machine will not start, if it is not in the correct position.

Is there a confiner as option?

The overhead confiner ensures the product is fully controlled and confined on all sides during the insertion process (application dependent). The confiner is available on the Kliklok BEC endload cartoner as an option.

What formats and sizes can the Kliklok BEC handle?

The BEC endload cartoner handles a wide variety of formats, including gable top formats. Carton sizes range from min: 50mm length / 25mm width / 110mm depth to max: 260mm length / 127mm width / 335mm depth

What is different about the new version of the Kliklok BEC?

The latest version of our Kliklok BEC endload cartoner now includes the following: New servo-driven system for greater process stability HMI 4.0 as an interface to Digital Service Solutions Space-saving Beckhoff controls and redesigned compact frame Redesigned Rotary Carton Feeder which is more compact, with high OEE and greater tolerance on board quality and recyclable material content. Reduced power consumption (was 9 kWh, now 7 kWh)
