KC-V8 Large – for large folding cartons

When standard machines reach their format limits: the KC-V8 Large cartons folding cartons up to 200 × 100 × 250 mm. Technically it sits between the KC-V8 and KC-V10 – as compact as the KC-V8, made for large cartons and heavier products such as seeds or detergent tabs.

How the KC-V8 Large works

Design and operation

The KC-V8 Large adopts the concept of the KC-V8 – accessibility, operation and mechanical reliability – and extends the format range for voluminous products and large folding cartons.

It remains compact and is designed for small to medium batch sizes with fast format changes. Feeding, coding and inspection can be integrated just as on the KC-V8. The robust design is built for multi-shift operation.
