Vertical cartoning in the smallest space
Your staff place the product into the upright folding carton at the filling station. A light curtain safeguards the area. After each filling, the machine indexes on and brings the next empty carton into position.
The folding carton is then closed – with tuck-in flap, Euro hang tab or hotmelt. The drive is mechanical, control is via a PLC. This makes the KC-V6 robust and smooth-running.
- Only around 1 m² of floor space – the smallest in the Kappler range
- NOVA star: adjust the carton holder without change parts
- Semi-automatic with manual filling station and automatic indexing
- Large format range despite compact design
- Freely configurable closure
- Automatic product feeding on request, e.g. for bottles

Carton holder without change parts
The KC-V6 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.

Who is the KC-V6 for?
For companies with little space and frequent format changes, such as contract packers, manufacturers of pharmacy products or cosmetics brands with small batches. If you need several filling stations or a leaflet inserter, the KC-V8 is the better choice.
Can the KC-V6 be automated later?
Automatic product feeding, for example for bottles, is possible on request. Talk to us about your product.
Which folding cartons does the KC-V6 handle?
Folding cartons 25–120 mm wide, 18–60 mm deep and 60–180 mm high. For deeper cartons up to 90 mm there is the KC-V8.
