Introducing the Alterion CL-170: The Ultimate Compact Mid-Speed Cartoner

21 August 2024

R.A Jones presents the Alterion CL-170, a simplified, cost-effective solution that’s designed to deliver maximum results to mid-range operations.

Our Criterion cartoning machines have become renowned for their durability and performance; trustworthy and stacked with innovative technology, Criterions are highly sought after. But some manufacturers couldn’t justify the return on investment on purchasing one due to lower production volumes and different automation needs.

In comes the Alterion CL-170: expertly engineered on the same principles as our Criterion cartoners and tailored for medium-volume production with a diverse product mix. Boasting remarkable flexibility and operational efficiency, the Alterion is a compact cartoner designed with our most popular standard features.

How the Alterion CL-170 can benefit your operation

Exceptional Flexibility

Versatility: The Alterion CL-170 is ideal for a wide array of industries, including food, pharma, healthcare, personal care, electronics, home care, industrial, and more. It accommodates a range of carton sizes from 5x1x4.25 inches to 10x6.5x14 inches and can achieve speeds up to 170 cartons per minute.
Compact Build: With a base length of just 7.7 meters and a width of 2.2 meters, the CL-170 is surprisingly compact without compromising on the robust design R.A Jones cartoners are known for. Its smaller footprint is still built on the proven technology of our Criterion® machines to ensure longevity and reliability.
Scalability: A standard feature on the Alterion is configurable bucket conveyer length, which allows manufacturers to tailor machine footprint and speed to their needs. Regardless of layout changes, your machine will stay ready for production.

High Return on Investment

Unmatched Value: Lower production volume doesn’t mean lower quality. The CL-170 is a high quality, cost-effective solution that doesn’t skimp on the features and quality customers have come to expect from R.A Jones.
Designed to grow with you: The Alterion future-proofs your operation so there’s no need to purchase a new machine as your production grows. Add product transfer modules from R.A Jones to your existing CL-170 cartoner to meet your increased production needs simply, quickly, and reliably.

Advanced Technology

Consistent Quality: Our rotary carton feed system, complemented by missing and L-shaped carton detection, ensures smooth operation. A servo-driven barrel loader with overload protection, auto-reset pusher slides, and adjustable U-shaped buckets with high load detection provide stub-free carton loading.
Customization Options: Tailor your machine to your specific needs with options such as laser coders, barcode scanners, overhead product tamps, and a configurable hand loading area to optimize your production floor space.

Operator-Friendly

Easy Changeovers: UHMW loader pusher heads make for quick, tool-less changeovers. Other features such as a single-point handwheel adjustment provide quick transport depth changes, and servo-driven adjustable 4-chain carton transport lugs provide swift, repeatable carton length adjustments.
Ergonomic Design: The Alterion CL-170 features a 7.5-foot hand loading area for easy manual loading and seamless transitions between product types. Users will also benefit from the operator-side conveyor with loader bypass for safe and ergonomic operation.
