90-degree carton closer
The ATP Packaging 90° carton closer is a robust, automated solution for efficiently sealing of top-load cartons with hot melt. Its compact and precise design ensures a secure seal that preserves product integrity, guaranteeing the product reaches the end user in optimal condition. It is ideal for production lines in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and other sectors that require reliable, hygienic packaging processes.
Competitive advantages of the 90-degree carton closer
- Hot melt sealing technology: Adhesive is applied to the lower sides of the carton and the top flaps are sealed as the carton moves along the conveyor belt. This technology is high-performance, reliable, flexible, and easy to operate.
- 90º gluing and closing system: Optimal configuration that eliminates the need to rotate the carton and maintains continuous control over the entire closing process.
- Adaptability: The machine can easily be adjusted to accommodate various case sizes without requiring format change tools.
- Accessibility: In the event of a technical stoppage or breakdown requiring the removal of cartons, the upper footrests can be lifted to provide easy access to the closing area.
- Kaia HMI: Intuitive software developed to optimize the control and operation of the carton closer. Its flexible and customizable interface is integrated into an industrial touchscreen and allows for efficient and adaptable operation in various production environments, even under demanding conditions.
- Production capacities: Up to 100 ppm (depending on carton size)

Frequently asked questions about the ATP Packaging 90° carton closer
What is a 90-degree carton closer and how does it work?
A 90° carton closer is an automated machine that uses hot melt to seal top-loaded cartons. It applies glue to the sides of the carton base and closes its top flaps as it moves along the conveyor belt. The main advantage of this system is that it eliminates the need to rotate the carton, ensuring consistent control throughout the sealing process and reducing the risk of errors or misalignment.
What advantages does it offer compared to other closing systems?
The 90° design ensures efficient and safe handling of the carton. Since rotation is not necessary, the process is streamlined, and product stability is maintained at all times. Additionally, this closer stands out for its flexibility. It can adapt to different case sizes without requiring additional tools for format changes. Maintenance is simple, too. In case of a technical stoppage, the upper clamps can be lifted to quickly access the sealing area for repairs and cleaning.
What production capacity can the machine achieve?
The 90° carton closer allows for a throughput of up to 100 cartons per minute, depending on the dimensions and weight of each package. This capacity makes it an ideal solution for industrial packaging lines that require speed, precision, and continuity without compromising seal quality.
What types of cartons are compatible?
The machine accepts cartons with flaps on the lid, with dimensions ranging from 100 to 300 mm in length, 120 to 200 mm in width, and 22 to 100 mm in height.
In which sectors is it commonly used?
Thanks to its versatility and robustness, the 90° carton closer is widely used in industries where reliable sealing and product protection are essential. In the food industry, it ensures that products reach consumers intact. In the pharmaceutical industry, it guarantees secure sealing in environments with high quality standards. In personal care, it provides reliable finishes for cosmetics and other personal care items. In home care, it is effective for detergents and other cleaning products.
What role does the Kaia HMI software play in the operation of the machine?
Kaia is the control interface engineered by ATP Packaging that simplifies the management of the machine.
