The Cardboard Manufacturing Machine features a steel frame with an enclosed protective cover, featuring a plastic-sprayed or epoxy-coated surface. It primarily consists of a paper feed station, single-facer, heating and preheating section, laminating station, gluing/coating station, slotting/grooving/slitting station, slitting/panel cutting, and stacking and conveying. The control cabinet is equipped with a PLC and color touchscreen, and the power supply utilizes a servo motor and variable frequency drive. This complete line is designed for the continuous production of corrugated cardboard and cartonboard substrates.

Features of the Cardboard Manufacturing Machine

High Production Capacity - Production Speed and Width

The complete line is designed to produce 40–120 m/min and a maximum paper width of 2500 mm. Under standard operating parameters, a single line can produce hundreds of thousands of square meters of corrugated cardboard per month, meeting medium- and large-scale orders and production line expansion needs.

Precise Forming - Corrugation Waveform and Laminating Accuracy

It supports a variety of corrugated cardboard types, achieving peak and valley forming accuracy within ±0.2 mm. Lamination pressure, temperature, and adhesive volume can be independently adjusted to ensure secure bonding and high flatness for both single- and double-sided boards, preventing warping and delamination.

Multiple Specification Compatibility — Adaptability to Paper Type and Ply Count

The Cardboard Manufacturing Machine accommodates face paper weights ranging from 80–350 g/m² and core paper weights from 60–250 g/m². It can produce single-wall, double-wall, and composite multi-layer paperboard. Switching specifications simply requires changing molds and adjusting parameters, meeting diverse needs such as supermarket packaging, large appliance boxes, and lightweight e-commerce boxes.

Intelligent Control — Automation and Recipe Management

The Cardboard Manufacturing Machine is equipped with a Siemens/Mitsubishi PLC and color screen HMI, along with built-in servo tension control, automatic material change alarms, and production recipe management. Temperature, speed, and tension curves can be stored and recalled with a single click, reducing commissioning time and improving first-pass yields.

Energy Saving and Environmental Protection - Energy Consumption and Waste Recycling Design

The total installed power of the main motor typically ranges from 50–150 kW. Equipped with a heat recovery system and glue recycling loop, paper scrap can be centrally recycled for reprocessing, reducing energy consumption and consumables by approximately 10–25% compared to traditional line types.

Maintainability - Modularity and Quick Part Replacement

The Cardboard Manufacturing Machine features a modular design, enabling quick replacement of critical wearing parts. On-site routine maintenance can be completed within 2–4 hours. A remote diagnostic interface facilitates rapid fault location and spare parts management.
