The Used Wrap Around OCME ALTAIR N/50 3300 boxes/hour handles PET and glass containers using high-efficiency wrap-around carton packaging. OCME manufactured this ALTAIR N/50 model in 2000 to support high-capacity bottling lines. As a result, the machine provides a robust and reliable solution for secondary packaging operations. Currently, the machine remains in storage; however, the team has preserved it under controlled conditions to ensure its operational integrity. Furthermore, its compact and modular structure allows manufacturers to install it in both existing and new production layouts.


Configuration and Operation


The Used Wrap Around OCME ALTAIR N/50 3300 boxes/hour uses a straight-line infeed, which consistently guides containers into the carton-forming area. Once bottles enter, the machine folds the carton blank around them and seals it during the same cycle. In particular, its mechanical synchronisation allows the forming, folding, and gluing phases to occur smoothly and efficiently. As a result, the unit maintains high packaging precision. Moreover, technicians can perform format changes quickly, thereby reducing downtime. In addition, the simplified layout improves accessibility for maintenance and adjustment. Because of this, operators can optimize changeovers with minimal training.


This machine handles bottle formats of 0.75 L and supports the following carton configurations: 3×2, 3×4, and 3×6. This versatility makes it suitable for various production needs and packaging formats.


Performance and Output Capacity


The Used Wrap Around OCME ALTAIR N/50 3300 boxes/hour processes up to 3300 cartons per hour, regardless of whether it uses the 3×2 or 3×4 format. In the 3×2 configuration, the machine packages 19,800 bottles per hour. In contrast, the 3×4 configuration handles 39,600 bottles per hour, since each carton contains 12 bottles. Thanks to this flexibility, operators can respond quickly to shifts in production demand. In fact, the mechanical setup supports high-speed operation even under heavy workload. Consequently, the machine guarantees steady performance across a wide range of applications. Furthermore, engineers can rely on its repeatability to maintain strict packaging standards.


Safety and Compatibility


OCME equipped the Used Wrap Around OCME ALTAIR N/50 with integrated safety systems. These include photoelectric barriers, emergency stop buttons, and protective guards in every hazardous area. Therefore, the system complies fully with European safety standards. Moreover, it ensures a safe working environment without compromising productivity. The machine works seamlessly with both PET and glass containers. This compatibility enables production teams to use it across diverse product lines. In addition, it accommodates format switching without recalibrating the entire system.
