Overview
The Vari-Straight is a straight-line closer for tri-seal topload cartons that takes Kliklok-Woodman's revolutionary variable pitch technology to a higher level. To provide a controlled carton turn without a change in direction, the unique turning bed features "pop-up" turning bars that capture the cartons and guide them through a 90° turn and into the charlotte closing section. The inherent slip and timing issues associated with conventional "lugless" carton closers are eliminated.
The Vari-Straight design was based upon the extremely popular Vari-Right closer with variable pitch technology. The Vari-Straight provides increased plant layout flexibility, greater speed and more opportunities for higher productivity.
