1100mm High Speed Automatic Folder Gluer Machine

Main Machine Units and Working Process

1. Automatic Feeding Unit

The feeding unit uses an independent frequency-controlled motor, thickened conveying belts, and an electric paper-stack vibration device to support stable carton blank feeding.

Adjustable feeding mechanisms facilitate setup for different paperboard sizes and help reduce job changeover time.

2. Side Register Unit

The side register aligns carton blanks before the folding process.

The left or right correction direction can be selected according to the required production setup.

3. Pre-Folding Unit

The pre-folding section prepares carton blanks for subsequent folding and packaging operations.

The first crease line can be pre-folded to 180°, while the third crease line can be pre-folded to 135°.

Adjustable working rails and folding mechanisms accommodate different carton structures.

4. Gluing Unit

The gluing section applies adhesive to the required carton areas.

Left and right bottom gluing mechanisms allow independent fine adjustment of adhesive application.

The appropriate gluing system should be selected according to carton design and adhesive requirements.

5. Final Folding Unit

The extended folding path supports controlled folding of carton blanks.

Independently adjustable left and right folding belts allow the machine to accommodate different carton dimensions and folding arrangements.

6. Trombone Unit

The trombone section supports carton accumulation, alignment, automatic kicking, and counting after folding and gluing.

Its upper and lower conveying mechanisms are driven separately to accommodate different carton lengths.

7. Compression and Delivery Unit

The compression unit uses pneumatic pressure adjustment to regulate the pressure applied to the folded cartons.

The delivery conveyor can synchronize with the main machine speed or be adjusted manually according to operating requirements.

Optional Machine Configurations

Additional equipment functions may be available according to the selected machine configuration.

Folder Gluer Machine and Case Erector in Carton Packaging Production

A folder gluer machine and a case erector perform different but related functions in carton packaging production.

The 1100mm automatic folder gluer processes die-cut paperboard or corrugated blanks through pre-folding, adhesive application, final folding, and compression to produce folded and glued cartons.

A case erector, on the other hand, opens compatible flat-folded corrugated cases, forms them into a three-dimensional shape, and typically folds and seals the bottom flaps for subsequent product packing.

For packaging manufacturers, these processes can form part of a broader carton manufacturing and packaging workflow.

GOOD CHOICE MACHINERY provides folder gluer solutions for carton manufacturers seeking efficient folding, gluing, and preparation of packaging blanks for downstream operations.

Technical Specifications

Technical Note: The specifications are based on the supplied 110-series parameters. Actual operating performance and equipment configurations should be confirmed according to the final quotation.

Supported Carton Structures

The 1100mm model has documented processing ranges for six carton types.

The machine's suitability for each carton structure depends on carton dimensions, tooling, and final machine configuration.

Customers should provide carton drawings or flat blank samples for confirmation.

Supported Carton Materials

The machine is suitable for specified carton board and selected corrugated board materials.

Material compatibility should be checked against carton thickness, stiffness, coating, folding requirements, and blank dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum feeding width of the 1100mm automatic folder gluer machine?

The maximum input paper width is 1100mm. The compatible carton dimensions depend on the box structure and folding configuration.

What materials can the 1100mm folder gluer process?

The specified materials include 157–800g/m² carton board and N, E, and F flute corrugated board.

What is the maximum gluing speed?

The maximum specified gluing speed is 400m/min. Actual operation depends on carton dimensions, material specifications, and machine settings.

What is the difference between a folder gluer machine and a case erector?

A folder gluer machine folds and glues flat carton blanks to produce finished folded cartons. A case erector opens pre-glued, flat-folded corrugated cases and forms them into boxes ready for packing. The two machines serve different stages of carton production and packaging.

Can the machine process four-corner and six-corner cartons?

The supplied 1100-series carton chart includes four-corner and six-corner carton structures. The required forming accessories and machine configuration should be confirmed according to the carton design.

Does the machine support pre-folding?

Yes. The documented configuration supports a 180° first-line pre-fold and a 135° third-line pre-fold.

Can the machine process corrugated cartons?

Yes. The technical data lists N, E, and F flute corrugated board among the supported materials.

Can the machine use hot melt adhesive?

Hot melt adhesive is listed as a compatible adhesive type. The required adhesive equipment and application configuration should be confirmed before ordering.

Is inline quality inspection available?

An inline vision inspection system is documented for the separately quoted LG800 equipment. Availability and compatibility for the 1100mm model must be confirmed separately.

How much installation space does the machine require?

The machine dimensions are approximately 20.5m long, 1.6m wide, and 1.5m high. Additional space is required for material handling, machine access, maintenance, and operator movement.

How can I request a quotation?

Provide the carton blank dimensions, carton structure, paperboard material, required production speed, adhesive method, and any additional configuration requirements. GOOD CHOICE MACHINERY can use this information to discuss suitable equipment specifications.
