Products Description
The automatic carton forming machine (also known as a fully automatic carton opener or automatic carton forming and bottom-sealing machine) is a standardized automated packaging device that integrates automatic carton feeding, opening, forming, bottom folding, and bottom sealing into a single unit. Through mechanical structures, pneumatic systems, and PLC intelligent control, it automatically opens, erects, folds the bottom, and seals flat-stacked corrugated cartons, replacing traditional manual opening and bottom-folding processes. This achieves automated, continuous, and efficient operations in the front-end packaging process, making it a core piece of equipment for packaging lines in modern logistics, e-commerce, and manufacturing enterprises.
Equipment Functions and Workflow
Automatic Box Suction: Flat cartons are placed in the equipment's hopper, where a vacuum suction cup automatically picks up individual cartons, ensuring no double picks or jams.
Automatic Box Opening and Forming: After being picked up, the carton is automatically opened, erected, and positioned by a mechanical mechanism to complete the box forming process.
Automatic Bottom Folding: The machine automatically folds the front, back, left, and right bottom flaps of the carton without manual assistance, ensuring neat and stable folds.
Automatic Bottom Sealing: The bottom is sealed using tape (standard) or hot melt adhesive (optional), resulting in a secure, durable seal that will not come loose.
Automatic Conveyor Discharge: Cartons that have been formed and sealed are automatically conveyed to the next station, ready to proceed directly to the loading, sealing, and bundling processes.
Structural Components
Main Frame: Powder-coated carbon steel / stainless steel body, sturdy and durable, ensuring stable operation.
Storage Hopper: Holds a large quantity of flat cartons, providing automatic feeding and uninterrupted replenishment.
Cartons Pick-up Mechanism: Vacuum suction cups + cylinder-driven, ensuring stable and reliable carton pickup.
Forming and Bottom-Folding Mechanism: Linkage, cam, and guide structures ensure precise carton forming.
Conveyor System: Motor + chain + conveyor belt, ensuring smooth operation and adjustable speed.
Electrical Control System: PLC controller + touchscreen, offering simple operation and visual parameter display.
Pneumatic System: Cylinders, solenoid valves, and pressure-regulating filters, ensuring precise operation and low noise.
Safety Protection Devices: Emergency stop switch, fault alarm, and safety door protection, ensuring safer operation.
Performance Features
Fully Automated Operation: One-button start for automatic continuous operation; no manual box opening, bottom folding, or gluing required, saving significant labor costs.
High Forming Efficiency: Standard models process 10–25 boxes per minute, while high-speed models can reach 30 boxes per minute-far exceeding manual efficiency.
Wide Application Range: Supports 3-ply and 5-ply corrugated boxes in various sizes; adjustments are simple and quick.
Stable Operation and Low Failure Rate: Mature structural design, durable key components, and simple maintenance make it suitable for long-term continuous production.
Easy Operation: Touchscreen control; size adjustments require no tools, and changing specifications takes only 1–3 minutes.
Compact Footprint and Easy Integration into Production Lines: Can be used as a standalone unit or seamlessly integrated with case packers, case sealers, strapping machines, and production lines.
Strong and Aesthetic Bottom Sealing: Tape is centered, flat, and free of curling edges; the bottom of the carton is securely sealed and resistant to damage.
