The principle

One carton holder for all formats

On conventional cartoning machines, every carton size needs its own change parts – which have to be stored, searched for and swapped. The NOVA star replaces them: it holds the folding cartons and is adjusted centrally and continuously to the new size with a single tool.

For you, this means: no storage for format sets, no reordering of change parts for new cartons and a fast, reproducible changeover.

Benefits
  • Continuous – any size within the setting range
  • Star adjusted in less than a minute
  • No change parts, no storage for format sets
  • Anodised aluminium: light and robust
  • Easy installation and removal for maintenance

FAQ

Questions about the NOVA star

How long does a format change with the NOVA star take?

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

Do I still need change parts?

Not for the carton holder: the NOVA star is adjusted continuously. Whether change parts are needed for other stations depends on your product and the modules.

Can I retrofit the NOVA star?

Yes, in machines with Kappler technology – including older lines. Ask us with machine number and year of manufacture. More under Conversions & retrofits.

Does your folding carton fit our machine?

Tell us about your product. We will check which cartoning machine fits and get back to you with a concrete proposal.
