Design and operation
The KC-V10 Automatic uses the same mechanical concept and the same NOVA 10 carton holder as the KC-V10. An integrated feeder places the product. In addition, the machine has two manual filling stations – for example for add-ons or products that cannot be fed automatically. How the stations are assigned can be configured very flexibly.
Its ten stations offer room for print image inspection, Pharmacode and Data Matrix reading and presence checks. Closure types and options correspond to the KC-V10.
- Integrated product and carton feeding
- Two additional manual filling stations
- Stations very flexible to configure
- Leaflet feeding optional
- Fewer staff on the line
- Ten stations for inspection modules
- Same platform as KC-V10 – same spare parts

Carton holder without change parts
The KC-V10 Automatic holds the folding cartons with the NOVA star. It is adjusted centrally and continuously to the new carton size with a single tool – in less than a minute and without change parts. Depending on the configuration, a format change of the entire line takes 15 to 30 minutes.

At what output does the KC-V10 Automatic pay off?
That depends on product, shift pattern and staff costs. Our guide Semi-automatic or fully automatic? covers the key criteria.
Which products can the feeder handle?
Typically bottles, tubes and other dimensionally stable products. Send us samples and we will check the feeding for your product.
Can I start with a KC-V10 and automate later?
Talk to us. Because both machines are based on the same platform, we will be happy to check which steps are possible.
