The Legend® is a continuous motion, 4 chain carton transport machine, with the carton transport, barrel loader, bucket conveyor, carton feed and minor flap closing driven by servo motors.

Pre-engineered configurations of these machines mean minimal customization that result in shorter lead times and lower cost solutions.

Speeds of up to 200 cartons per minute allows for a wide range of product options.

The Legend® Series L200 offers optimal flexibility with both right and left hand configurations. The overall base frame is 24’-5" in both the 9" and 12" center configurations with minimal changeover. The frame system is a welded stainless steel tubular hygienic design and will allow debris to fall through to the floor.

With a smooth and efficient rotary carton feed, simple hydraulic height adjustment and a 4 ft. powered magazine with controlled back pressure, the Legend can reach speeds of 200 cpm with 9" center and 160 cpm with a 12" center.

Standard features include Allen Bradley ControlLogix, user-friendly 15" PC based HMI flat panel color touch-screen, and Nordson ProBlue 7 gluing system with 2 guns.
