FAQ

Questions from Automotive & Spare Parts

Do filters fit in a Kappler machine?

Many do – oil and cabin filters usually without any problem. The folding carton is decisive: up to 200 × 100 × 250 mm with the KC-V8 Large. Large, flat air filters are checked case by case.

How quickly can I switch to another part number?

The NOVA star is adjusted in less than a minute. Depending on the configuration, a format change of the entire line takes 15 to 30 minutes.

Is it worthwhile for small lots?

Especially then: vertical cartoning machines are designed for small to medium batches and frequent format changes.
