Celestion™ MTX: A Complete TopLoad Packaging Platform

Introducing the Celestion™ MTX: A Complete TopLoad Packaging Platform

More than a cartoning machine, the Celestion™ MTX brings a galaxy of new TopLoad possibilities to revolve around your production needs. Load pouches, wraps, rounds and more into cartons and trays in a variety of configurations, from single units, to multipacks, to variety packs, and even kits.

By aligning robotics, carton and tray forming, loading, and closing, the Celestion™ is a complete packaging solution in a scalable footprint. Boasting unparalleled flexibility, reliability, and efficiency, it allows manufacturers to swiftly adapt to new production line needs.

Respond to changing market demands, adjust carton size or count variability, and redeploy the system into new plant layouts. Update products and package types as needed, and switch between paperboard and corrugate materials during a single production run. Even expand the Celestion™ to meet increasing production needs with added modules.

The smart modular design of the Celestion can also be seamlessly integrated into production lines, especially with our sister companies. This high-integration Coesia Systems approach optimizes our technology to provide customers with complete production line solutions of consistent quality up to Coesia standards.

Celestion™ MTX technology is suitable for many industries, especially for food products. From granola bars, to baked goods, to pouched snacks, to beverages, to pet food. Its excellent multi-component kitting capabilities is also great for other types of products, such as medical kits and hair dye kits.

Driven by our commitment to meeting customer needs 

Historically, R.A Jones’ portfolio has included many end-load machines that use pre-glued cartons and require products to be pushed in from the side. Though popular, many products do not lend themselves to handling in this manner but work best when loaded directly in the package. 

So, we got to work on creating a new solution by referencing our proprietary coffee pod packaging technology. By adapting this technology to handle additional types of products, we’ve created a system that makes cartons or trays out of flat blanks and directly loads products into them from the top. Plus, this utilization of flat blanks provides reduced material costs and faster supply lead times.

Thanks to its top load capabilities and intelligent carton transport (ICT) system, the  Celestion™ MTX can handle everything from Full Trifold, Economy Trifold, Inner-Fold, Combo-Fold, Trays, and shelf-ready designs, all with excellent product control and consistency.

By applying over 115 years of experience producing the highest efficiency cartoners in the market, our highly skilled engineers have created a platform that solves customer problems today and can expand to meet the unforeseen challenges of tomorrow.
