Used Apsol MCP2 3500 bph cartoner General features of the used Apsol MCP2 3500 bph cartoner APSOL built the used Apsol MCP2 3500 bph cartoner in 2007 as an automatic cartoner for glass bottles. This model ensures reliable operation and supports a wide range of packaging configurations. As a result, high-efficiency bottling lines can easily integrate this unit, as it remains fully operational and ready for use. Furthermore, its compact design allows manufacturers to optimize floor space without compromising performance. Performance and format configuration The used Apsol MCP2 3500 bph cartoner processes up to 3,500 bottles per hour, maintaining constant production even during busy production schedules. Specifically, it handles 0.50 L, 0.75 L, and 1 L bottles, packaged in 4x3 and 3x2 crates. Therefore, operators can switch between formats with minimal downtime. As a result, the machine offers considerable flexibility for producers of wine, oil, and other glass-bottled liquids. Furthermore, the system supports both small and medium production batches, further enhancing its versatility. Gripper System and Number of Heads The gripper system uses bell-shaped suction heads with air chambers, which apply pneumatic pressure to gently move the glass containers. This prevents damage during the picking and placing process. Specifically, it features two gripper heads operating in parallel, significantly increasing productivity. Furthermore, the double-head system distributes the workload evenly, thus improving mechanical longevity. This configuration is particularly effective when handling fragile or tall bottles. Automation and Control System OMRON and TOSHIBA programmable logic controllers (PLCs) control the used Apsol MCP2 3500 bph cartoner, ensuring high automation reliability and ease of maintenance. Furthermore, technicians can quickly configure parameters thanks to the intuitive interface. Therefore, the machine adapts seamlessly to different production scenarios. Operators access the control interface on the right side, which improves ergonomics and reduces operator fatigue. Equally important, the PLC architecture allows for remote diagnostics and rapid intervention in the event of faults. Safety, Dimensions, and Power Supply The machine is equipped with safety guards that comply with European standards, thus ensuring operator protection. For example, it is equipped with interlocking doors and emergency stop systems. It measures 3000 mm in length, 2400 mm in depth, and 2500 mm in height. In terms of energy, the unit operates on a 400 V, 50 Hz power supply and consumes 11 kW. Overall, these features make the used Apsol MCP2 3500 bph cartoner a robust and scalable choice for medium- to high-capacity bottling lines. Ultimately, the model combines mechanical reliability with flexible automation, making it a strategic investment for modern facilities.
