Design and operation
The KC-V10 uses the same mechanical concept as the KC-V8, but has two more stations. These stations hold quality control modules – so you check print image, code and contents before the folding carton leaves the machine.
For pharma, the KC-V10 – like the KC-V8 – is available in a pharma version: the machine plate is bolted from below, so less dirt collects and cleaning is easier. Optionally in stainless steel and with cable grommets. Plus camera systems, code verification and integration of your existing coder.
- Up to five filling stations, manual or automatic
- Ten stations with room for inspection modules
- Hotmelt and tuck-in flap can be combined in one machine
- Pharma version: plate bolted from below, stainless steel optional
- Every machine configured for your product

Every Kappler cartoning machine is configured from proven modules for your product. Many modules can also be retrofitted later.
Pull pre-folded leaflets individually from the magazine and push them into the folding carton.
To the module →Manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic – with robot or automatic feeding system, e.g. for bottles and tubes.
To the module →Inkjet, thermal transfer or blind embossing for LOT, expiry date and other information.
To the module →Tuck-in flap and hotmelt in one machine: tuck closure, hotmelt closure or a combination.
To the module →Custom design for your requirements – developed and built in Karlsbad.
Carton holder without change parts
The KC-V10 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.
More about the NOVA star
When is the KC-V10 better than the KC-V8?
If you need more than three filling stations or want to accommodate several inspection modules, such as print image inspection and code reading together.
Which codes can the KC-V10 check?
Pharmacode and Data Matrix codes by camera; faulty cartons are rejected. We can integrate existing coders.
Is the KC-V10 also available fully automatic?
Yes, as the KC-V10 Automatic with integrated product and carton feeding.
