Valco Melton’s folding carton equipment packages have been specifically created to retrofit each folder-gluer make and model. From one make ready to another, it’s no problem.

CartonPRO® Glue System Controls
Valco Melton offers a range of glue system controls, from the low-cost MCP-4 glue system control, to the sophisticated OT-120 touchscreen with graphical user interface, Valco Melton has a solution to meet your specific production requirements.
Featuring Valco Melton’s CartonPRO® software specifically developed for folding carton production, the OT-120/VCX controls are easy-to-use and offer gluing, inspection and other quality assurance capabilities that will enhance production and customer satisfaction. With CartonPRO®, a special “wizard” guides the user through the setup process making sure that every aspect of gluing and quality assurance has been correctly configured. The simple touchscreen using CartonPRO® software focuses you operations away from the gluing equipment and back to what matters most in your production line.
The MCP-4C horizontal control can be used with an extensive selection of Valco Melton’s cold glue or hot melt adhesive dispensing valves including high-speed, non-contact, spot, fine-line, and ribbon pattern gluing. The MCP-4 control fits nicely with Valco Melton’s CompactProductionPlus® low cost alternative system.
CartonPRO® Inspection & Quality Assurance
The Valco Melton system is capable of monitoring at all machine speeds. A single color code reader is available to alert for mixed-copy, faded or missing color, print and die-cut registration. Additional sensors are capable of glue pattern inspection, window/insert detection, and skewed and double-feed monitoring. Systems can include carton ejector, defect marking equipment, and high-speed glue valves for complex glue patterns.
The system also offers data collection capabilities for job statistics and quality control reports. Having all these abilities within a single control unit makes these controls an ultimate tool for high-speed gluing and quality assurance.
