Increase your packaging line's versatility with this adaptable beverage cartoning machine. From craft breweries to large-scale drink production facilities, the Beverage Spartan delivers the flexibility and efficiency required to grow your operations.
This intermittent motion cartoner is built on the success of the Spartan <link to page> cartoner and was originally developed to efficiently place cans into a box. This breakthrough happened at the peak of the craft brewing boom, and Econocorp was well-positioned to take on thethe challenge of developing a packaging solution for emerging breweries and craft beverage brands. The best part? We haven’t stopped evolving this flexible solution for other growing beverage producers.
The Beverage Spartan features a LinMot electric linear actuator for product loading up to six lanes, making running craft beer and beverage variety packs easy. Producers can package up to six varieties of cans that travel in their own lanes. The actuator then pushes cans into sleeves or cartons with accuracy – whether you’re loading 4 or 6 at a time. By consolidating processes, the Beverage Spartan craft beer cartoner can reach increased speeds of up to 40 cartons per minute.
Versatile Beverage Cartoning Machine Handles More Than Drinks
Our beverage cartoning machine handles an impressive range of products beyond just beverages. From craft beer and spirits to canned vegetables, soups, and pasta—including clip-top containers that eliminate the need for can openers. We've even deployed this craft beer cartoner everywhere from craft breweries to mobile disaster relief units in 18-wheeler trucks.
Flexible Craft Beer Cartoner Handles Paperboard or Corrugate
Adding to its flexibility, this craft beer cartoner can handle both paperboard and corrugate packaging materials. This allows you to run more than one material on the same machine, eliminating the need for purchasing and maintaining material-specific equipment. As a result, you can reclaim floorspace and reduce costs. And even more importantly – you’re able to choose the amount of protection your canned beverage product needs. Whether it is fragile or heavy and requires corrugate or lighter and less fragile, making it ideal for paperboard, the Beverage Spartan can do both.
Discover why leading craft beverage producers rely on the Beverage Spartan to optimize their packaging operations.
