Kliklok & Mrs. Crimble's Cookies - a winning combination!
November 28, 2006
Belgian patisserie company Poppies Int NV secured a contract to produce coconut macaroons under the “Mrs. Crimble’s” brand name, and approached Kliklok for a machine to form two different tray sizes.
Within weeks, Kliklok supplied and installed their ECT500 hot-melt glue carton erector. This machine is capable of handling an impressive array of carton tray designs formed from a single flat blank - from typical four-corner styles to complex hexagonal, octagonal, or other unusual shaped packages. Adhesive application can be accomplished by using either an enclosed pressurised nozzle jet system or an open pot ‘dauber’ style approach, depending on the customer’s preference. Poppies chose the open pot option.
The ECT has an innovative four-station rotary turret design to provide carton feeding, glue application, carton forming, and finished carton ‘strip off’ at progressive turret positions. For the Poppies project, the ECT was fitted with a narrow rotor assembly to accommodate the smaller carton.
