8-THEORY OF OPERATION

8.1 Description of the Working Cycle
After having closed the top fl aps of the carton, the

to avoid the opening of the top fl aps. Further push-

box through the taping heads which automatically
seal the top and bottom seams. The carton is then
expelled on the exit conveyor.
