About this machine

The Petratto Metro SE78 is a folding machine — sometimes called a folder-gluer — designed for high-speed, precision folding and gluing of paperboard and corrugated carton blanks into finished packaging. Petratto is an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the carton converting and packaging industry, building folder-gluers and related equipment for print finishing and box production operations worldwide.

This particular machine was built in 2025 and is described by the seller as like new, offered from a location in Denmark at a price of €76,500.

The configuration is detailed and well-specified. The feeding section is the SD78A belt feeder, equipped with vacuum belts across an 78 cm working width, forming part of the Metro Line architecture. The core folding and gluing section is the SE78C, described as an independent folding and gluing group running 42 rollers, giving the machine its primary carton-forming capability.

Operator control is via a colour touchscreen interface. A batch counter and batch separation function are included, supporting organised output management and downstream sortation.

The machine is fitted with the SE04B-2 small folding unit, which incorporates right and left ploughs along with two complete transport sets of seven self-aligning wheels each — a configuration that assists in accurate carton forming through the fold sections. Complementing this are the SE04-21 micro right and left ploughs, which provide fine-adjustment folding capability for smaller or more intricate carton formats. Format changeover is further facilitated by the SE14A new crash lock device, which is noted for allowing fast format changeovers — an important feature in operations running multiple SKUs or short runs.

Hot-melt gluing is handled by an IC-40R unit based on the Robatech Concept B system, configured with three glue exits, giving flexibility in glue application patterns across a range of carton styles.

The delivery end of the machine is equipped with an SC10 shingle delivery unit with a 700 mm capacity, providing controlled, overlapping output of finished cartons for downstream handling. The exact availability date is to be confirmed with the seller.
