Delkor Trayfecta® M-Series (Mechanical) Tray and Carton Formers

The Delkor Trayfecta M-Series formers are an economical alternative to the flagship Delkor Trayfecta S-Series formers. The highly refined, simple, robust mechanical drive, is ideal for long production runs and low maintenance requirements.

Within 5 minutes or less, the Delkor Trayfecta Mechanical Former can change over between a tray former, a carton former, or a case former to meet the rapidly changing needs of modern retailers. The Trayfecta M Series Formers produce consistent, high-quality; formed trays, cartons, or cases from paperboard, micro flute, E-flute, or corrugated blanks on a single machine.

The new Trayfecta is available in single, double, triple, and quadruple-head configurations, providing the ideal flexible packaging solutions.

	Belt Drive System All models within the Trayfecta M series tray forming family share a common architecture which features a fully counterbalanced precision drive for smooth high-speed reliability.
	Carton Blank Pick The mechanically driven pick-arm assembly picks a carton blank from the magazine lane and places it into the shuttle.
	Shuttle Mechanically driven reciprocating blank shuttle provides positive blank location and adhesive application.
	Adhesive Application For adhesive style cartons, hot-melt adhesive is applied to carton flaps during the controlled shuttle motion.
	Forming Head The mechanically driven forming head drives the carton blank downward, through the forming cavity, to create a formed carton.
	Forming Cavity Forming activity occurs in a unique spring-loaded precision forming cavity that prevents jamming during the forming process.
	Carton Eject The newly formed carton is positively ejected from the forming head and onto the discharge conveyor.
