Hey there! As a supplier of multifunctional folder gluers, I've been deeply involved in this industry for quite some time. In this blog, I'm gonna share with you the international standards for multifunctional folder gluers.
First off, let's talk about what a multifunctional folder gluer is. It's a machine that can perform multiple functions like folding and gluing cartons or boxes. These machines are super important in the packaging industry as they help in mass - producing well - made packages efficiently.
Structural and Mechanical Standards
One of the key international standards revolves around the structural and mechanical aspects of multifunctional folder gluers. The machine's frame needs to be sturdy. It should be able to withstand the vibrations and stresses that come with continuous operation. For example, the frame should be made of high - quality steel that has been properly treated to resist corrosion. A flimsy frame can lead to misalignments during the folding and gluing process, resulting in defective products.
The moving parts of the machine also have strict standards. The gears, belts, and rollers need to be precisely manufactured. The tolerances for these parts are very tight. For instance, the diameter of a roller might have a tolerance of just a few thousandths of an inch. This precision ensures smooth operation and accurate folding and gluing. If the gears are not properly meshed, it can cause the machine to jam or produce uneven folds.
Safety Standards
Safety is a top priority in the design and operation of multifunctional folder gluers. International standards require that these machines be equipped with safety guards. These guards prevent operators from coming into contact with moving parts, which could cause serious injuries. For example, there should be guards around the cutting blades and the gluing units.
Emergency stop buttons are also a must. These buttons should be easily accessible from all sides of the machine. In case of an emergency, an operator can quickly stop the machine to prevent accidents. Additionally, the machine should have proper grounding to prevent electrical shocks.
Performance Standards
When it comes to performance, there are several important standards. The speed of the machine is a crucial factor. A high - quality multifunctional folder gluer should be able to operate at a consistent speed. For example, some machines can fold and glue up to 300 boxes per minute. The speed should be adjustable according to the requirements of the production line.
The accuracy of folding and gluing is another key performance standard. The folds should be sharp and precise, and the glue should be applied evenly. The tolerance for the folding angle might be within a few degrees. If the folding is off, the boxes might not stack properly or might not be able to hold their contents securely.
The quality of the glue application is also strictly regulated. The amount of glue applied should be consistent. Too much glue can cause mess and increase production costs, while too little glue can result in weak bonds.
Environmental Standards
In today's world, environmental standards are becoming increasingly important. Multifunctional folder gluers should be designed to be energy - efficient. They should consume less electricity or other forms of energy during operation. For example, some machines use advanced motor control systems that adjust the power consumption based on the workload.
The machines should also be designed to minimize waste. This includes reducing the amount of glue that is wasted during the application process and minimizing the amount of scrap material produced during folding.
Compatibility and Interoperability Standards
Multifunctional folder gluers often need to work in conjunction with other machines in a production line. So, they need to meet compatibility and interoperability standards. They should be able to communicate with other machines, such as printers and die - cutters. For example, they should be able to receive data about the size and shape of the boxes from a printer and adjust their settings accordingly.
Now, let me introduce some of the products we offer. We have the Corrugated Folder Gluer Machine, which is specifically designed for corrugated cardboard. It can handle different thicknesses of corrugated material and produce high - quality boxes.
Our Flexo Folder Gluer Machine is great for flexographic printing applications. It can integrate well with flexo printing units and provide seamless folding and gluing for printed boxes.
And if you're looking for high - speed production, our High Speed Carton Box Folder Gluer Equipments are the way to go. They can meet the demands of large - scale production lines.
