MGS Machine Corporation
The MGS KP600 cartoner is ideal for ammunition manufacturers sourcing an entry level machine with a compact footprint or producing product in small batches. The KP600 can run up to 30 cartons a minute for hand-loading, semi-automatic, or fully automatic production lines with changeovers taking less than 10 minutes.

MGS understands the need for short lead times on machinery with scalable technologies to help customers significantly increase throughput while reducing staff and manual processes.
Whether you need a single machine or complex, large-scale automation, you need a partner with expertise to help you meet consumer demand and keep up with industry regulations. As part of Coesia, the world’s largest network of packaging technologies and process solutions, MGS has helped companies implement their first automated processes all the way to those needing complete, fully automated lines.
Combining high efficiency with high performance
MGS’ innovative methodologies take ammunition from bulk and singulate and orient it before it’s placed into a carton or tray.
MGS can add the following solutions upstream of cartoners:
- VersaSort bulk feeder - Features refined cartridge singulation, orientation and grouping techniques to deliver a controlled product stream. This gentle bulk-handling system minimizes recirculation, resulting in ammunition that’s as close as possible to its manufactured quality.
- Cartridge Singulation Miter Starwheel and Chicane Cartridge Buffer - A connector between the VersaSort and the cartoner, serving two important functions: consistently and positively reorienting cartridges and creating a product buffer to handle bulk feed variability.
Handling high-volume product with accuracy
Vision camera integration
Vision systems confirm the presence of primers and projectiles. Incomplete rounds are ejected and verified to ensure customer satisfaction. Operator inspection stations with ergonomic seating as well as lighting and mirrors allow for thorough cartridge quality inspection by your trained technicians.
Packaging accessories
Feed packaging accessories from bulk or magazine, singulate and orient, and position for cartridge loading while incorporating accessories such as:
- Cartoning, case packing, and palletizing- From low-speed, intermittent motion units through high-speed, continuous motion configurations. MGS also offers a fully automatic case packer as well as manual case pack-out stations, carton/case embossing, case labeling and several palletizer options to meet customer needs.
