Choose the main points of Automatic Horizontal Box Cartoning Machine
Choose vertical or horizontal equipment according to the product
The box you choose should match your product. For example, if the product is free-flowing (granular objects such as laundry detergent or loose pieces such as cough syrup bottles), choose a vertical type of box filler. For both vertical and horizontal loading products, it is best to choose horizontal equipment. Most of the boxes on the market are loaded horizontally, which makes them more flexible and cheaper than vertical boxes.
To determine the maximum loading speed
The first thing to check is whether the packing work is done on the production line or offline. For online speed, divide the maximum production speed of the product by the number of product packages per carton, and then consider overload capacity (the possibility of increasing production speed through new processes or technologies). For offline speeds, determine daily weekly or monthly shipping quotas, making sure to use a true number of days per week or hours per day to figure out how many boxes can be loaded per minute.
Selection of materials
Are you using raw cardboard (new fiber, more expensive) or recycled materials (cheaper)? Poor quality materials will certainly affect the packing quality. You also need to consider the cover and glue format design of the carton, if you use splicing format then you can use less glue. When you pack a bag into a carton, the air creates a material impact. You can reduce the impact by adding a pressure reducer to the bag-making machine or a bag gauge to the loading area of the box-filling machine. Either way is possible, but you need to prepare it well in advance, rather than having the equipment delivered. You can test the Automatic Horizontal Box Cartoning Machine with products and cartons that just meet the specifications to see how much air can fit in the bag.
Leverage the supplier's experience and knowledge
Get your carton supplier on board with your project team. You can benefit greatly by bringing together material specialists and equipment specialists. Sometimes some minor changes in carton design, material and coating can greatly improve the performance of the carton Automatic Horizontal Box Cartoning Machine. In some cases, if the equipment supplier can make a special design for the equipment, you may be able to optimize your carton design and use thinner materials to save money.
Choose a box loader that matches your technical abilities
The box loader should match your technical prowess. Buying a complex machine (such as one with lots of servos) can cause you even more trouble if you don't have enough technology. Do background checks on suppliers and consult with peer companies to make sure the equipment you want to buy meets your specifications and is something you can handle. Make sure your product is a good match for the vendor's technology, and know the limitations of the device you're buying.
