McGuckin & Pyle, Inc. has been designing and building carton forming equipment for 30 years. Besides building tooling for standard cartons for McDonalds, Burger King Wendy's etc. we have also designed and built innumerable sets of custom tooling to fold and glue a variety of unique shaped cartons.

Recently we have introduced our new carton converting machine which features "no blank no glue" technology to reduce scrap among many new features and benefits. We are currently developing another new machine capable of folding and gluing large and/or deeper cartons.

We work closely with our customers, sometimes during the carton design phase, to insure the final structure suits their customer and will fold and glue at production speeds with consistency.

Our tooling can fold and glue clamshell cartons, fry scoops or trays. The size and shape of the cartons determines the number of lanes the machine can fold.

High Speed Carton Converter Machine

Our newly designed high speed formers come complete with the following features:

AC Vector Drive Technology, which provides programmable acceleration, programmable preset machine speeds and jog speeds.
Manual jog control in both directions for easy set-up.
Servo controlled, programmable glue actuation to insure "no blank no glue feature.” This feature reduces the scrap rate and clean up.
Programmable stack counters, these counters control when the stack count cylinders fire to mark the cartons when the preset count is reached.
Reset-able totalizing counter.
To insure accurate counting each of the two sides of the pick & place is equipped with independent blank detection.
Electronically controlled air blast at the front of the feed toppers to insure proper blank feeding.
Anti-jam detection, to detect if a jam up at the forming section occurs.
Stack light indicators.
Long life rotary, adjustable vacuum release valves to control the release of the blank at the forming section.
Programmable maintenance interval meter.
New operator interface for easy programming.
Former is designed for quick change tooling.

Quick Change Tooling

Our tooling is designed specifically for high speed forming and gluing and quick changeovers. Tooling changeovers in less than one half hour are possible. We manufacture our own glue nozzle assemblies. which come in (4) sizes. The forming heads are precision machined from aluminum to match the angles and shape of your blanks. The forming chamber has custom chamber bars to insure the proper stack shape and compression. The forming heads and vacuum pick & place motions are mechanically timed to insure problem free operation. Foot pedal control of the pneumatic feed pusher allows for hands free operation for loading blanks.

Packing Chutes and Table

Our packing chutes are 100% stainless steel construction. The packing table has a stainless steel top, welded to a painted steel frame.

We will assemble, wire and test run all the equipment prior to shipping. The tooling will be installed on the machine and tested.
