A thorough evaluation of aspects such equipment performance, production needs, supplier qualifications, and after-sales support is necessary when investing in a high-quality corrugated cardboard box machine. This comprehensive procurement guide will assist you in making wise choices:
1. Make the production needs clear.
Type of product: Ascertain the characteristics (size, thickness, load-bearing capability, etc.) and type of cardboard box (e.g., single corrugated, double corrugated, irregular box, etc.).
Capacity requirements: Based on the average output for the day or month, choose the automation level (completely or semi-automatic) and machine speed (e.g., more than 100 meters per minute).
Process prerequisites: if integrated features like die-cutting, box gluing, printing, and nail box are necessary.
2. Key equipment kinds are chosen
The production line for corrugated cardboard includes a raw paper frame, a preheater, a single-sided and double-sided machine, a cross-cutting machine, a longitudinal cutting and pressing machine, and more.
Die-cutting and printing slotting machines are used for forming and printing and come in flexographic, offset, and digital printing varieties.
The glue box/nail box machine is a highly automated, networked production line used for making cardboard boxes.
3. Key performance metrics
Accuracy: die-cutting accuracy (± 0.2mm), color printing accuracy (within ± 0.5mm).
Stability: The rate of equipment failure while operating continuously (e.g., 24 hours without shutdown).
Energy consumption: Energy-efficient design (e.g., heat recovery systems, variable frequency motors).
Adaptability of materials: supports corrugated kinds (A, B, C, E, and F corrugated) and base paper weights ranging from 100 to 300 gsm.
4. Assessment of suppliers
Brand and reputation: Well-known brands in the business, like BHS, BOBST, Marquip, Dongfang, Dinglong, etc., should be prioritized.
Technical Strength: Consider the supplier's industry cases, patented technology, and R&D skills.
After-sales support: Whether to offer operation instruction, installation and troubleshooting, and the provision of spare parts (24-hour response).
Field visit: To confirm the true operating efficacy of equipment, visit manufacturing facilities or client locations.
5. Budget and Cost
Initial investment: The cost of the equipment (up to 10 million yuan for foreign equipment, and roughly 500000 to 3 million yuan for domestic equipment).
Energy use, consumables (such ink and knife molds), and maintenance expenditures are examples of operating costs.
Cost-effectiveness: Within your budget, pick the equipment that performs the best and has the fewest failures.
6. Intelligence and Automation
Intelligent control systems include features like remote monitoring, PLC control, and fault diagnosis.
Automation features include data collecting (MES system docking), trash recycling, and automatic roll changing.
7. Compliance and certification of quality
Safety requirements: conforms with global standards like ISO 9001 and CE.
Environmental criteria include exhaust gas treatment (e.g., fulfilling VOC emission limits) and low noise (<75 dB).
By using the aforementioned procedures, you may methodically assess and choose premium corrugated cardboard box equipment that is appropriate for the business, guaranteeing the highest possible return on investment. Specific requirements might be supplied for additional study if more refinement is required for the selection of a particular type of equipment (such as combined die-cutting and digital printing machines).
