Operating structure of the carton folding machine
Infeed Mechanism:
- The infeed mechanism is responsible for feeding the flat, pre-cut carton blanks into the folding machine.
- This can include features like carton magazine loaders, carton singulators, and product infeed conveyors to ensure a steady supply of carton blanks.
- The folding section is the core of the carton folding machine, where the actual folding and shaping of the carton takes place.
- This section typically consists of a series of folding devices, such as folding plows, folding rollers, and folding plates, that systematically crease and fold the carton blank into the desired shape.
- The folding sequence and timing are controlled by the machine’s programmable logic controller (PLC) to ensure precise and consistent folding.
Gluing/Sealing Station:
- After the carton blank is folded, the gluing or sealing station applies adhesive or heat-sealing to secure the carton’s shape and maintain its structural integrity.
- This station may incorporate features like glue applicators, hot melt adhesive units, or ultrasonic welding devices, depending on the carton material and sealing requirements.
- The completed, folded, and sealed cartons are then discharged from the machine using conveyor systems or other material handling mechanisms.
- Depending on the application, the cartons may be automatically stacked, palletized, or transferred to the next stage of the packaging process.
Control System – Carton folding machine :
- The carton folding machine is operated and controlled by a central PLC system, which coordinates the various motion control, sensor inputs, and sequencing of the folding and handling processes.
- The PLC system allows for programmable adjustments, recipe management, and integration with higher-level control or enterprise systems.
Carton folding machines incorporate various safety features, such as emergency stops, access guarding, and safety sensors, to protect operators and ensure a safe working environment.
Product diversification
- If you are producing a variety of products with different box sizes, the tape box sealer will serve you for all of those products. On the contrary, if you are considering whether to expand your production or not and when expanding your production with a variety of items packed in boxes of different sizes
- Hope that the carton sealing machine brings great benefits to your business. Please contact Vnatech for direct consultation and support for your questions!
