There are a lot of entrepreneurial ideas in the modern world. And among the many types of activities one can single out the production of corrugated board. You must understand that in this area a lot will depend on the acquisition of equipment. Therefore, it is worth spending your time and familiarizing yourself with those basic modules that can be used.
The need to use installations
At almost every stage of corrugated packaging production, it is necessary to use a variety of equipment. For the production of corrugated cardboard, such devices can be used that leave unique prints on the products. That is why it is necessary to make the right choice of a production line, guided by its type of production.
Most popular installations
Equipment for the production of corrugated cardboard may contain several modules at once, which means machines. They carry out high-performance work. There are also such installations, the work of which can be carried out offline.
In other words, separate from the production line. Such equipment for the production of corrugated cardboard is quite popular, the complex of which includes loading, flexographic, rotary cutting machines.
Equipment required for die cutting
The rotary die-cutting module is considered the main one in the production of this type of product. It is characterized by high productivity in comparison with plane-cutting machines. Such a machine can be divided into two categories - these are aggregates for complex die-cutting and slotters that are used in the process of die-cutting a 4-valve container.
What do you need to buy for gluing products?
The folding-gluing and stitching equipment for the production of corrugated cardboard must be used in order to glue the boxes and carry out the folding procedure. Similar machines can work in automatic mode. There are also semi-automatic installations. All modules can be classified according to the bonding point.
Need for die-cutting and grooving
Cutting and leveling machines must be used at the moment when cutting and leveling of the workpiece is required. Under grooving means the application of transverse and longitudinal lines in those places where there will be a bend.
Corrugated board flat-cutting machine must be used in the situation when it is necessary to produce products. Such equipment is used regardless of the complexity of the work. The installation is characterized by a sufficiently high precision produced by die cutting. A sheet of raw material is required on a special form. After this, the mold will pass immediately between several shafts.
Drawing images and gluing several layers together
The machines necessary for flexographic printing are used at the moment when it is necessary to apply multicolor printing on future packaging, namely on its top layer.
Laminating equipment must be used when gluing the top layer, which the corrugated packaging possesses, to other numerous layers is required. It should be noted that this procedure can be performed already at the moment when all the necessary images are applied.
Additional production line
An important role is played by auxiliary equipment.For example, a machine that is used to compact waste from production. There is also a multifunctional corrugated board production line, which is capable of simultaneously performing several different functions. It is necessary to consider in more detail the main modules of this production line.
Universal device
A slotting and grooving machine with a semi-automatic feeding mode and multi-color printing function means a device that is used for applying images, cross-type grooving and notching. The equipment has three nodes.
This is a workpiece feeding table, a section necessary for applying color printing, a slotter. The supply of material can be carried out in semi-automatic mode. This kind of machine is equipped with a special sheet counter, knives. The equipment is characterized by the possibility of smoothly adjusting the speed, as well as quite convenient adjustment and the ability to combine printing and die-cutting.
Automatic machine
Under the high-speed flexo printer-slotter, which has a section of rotary die cutting and stacker sheets, refers to the equipment used in the die-cutting procedure. Moreover, this operation may affect several types of corrugated boxes at once. It works in automatic mode. In order to apply paint to the required module, an air pump is used. If necessary, the device can be equipped with a vibration system that helps to remove waste.
Equipment needed for printing
Flexoslotter - equipment that uses a vacuum transfer in its complex. It is characterized by a fairly convenient interface, very quick setup. The equipment is equipped with a system by which dust is removed, an infrared module for drying the coloring matter.
Through the use of a vacuum transfer, it is possible to achieve high precision printing. In addition, deformation of the cardboard can be prevented. The machine can consist of 7 sections at once - feeding, printing, drying, varnishing, rotary die cutting, slotting and grooving section, sheet stacker.
Conclusion
This is all the basic and additional equipment, the need for which may arise if it was decided to open factories for the production of corrugated cardboard. In order to purchase a production line, it will be necessary to spend at least 600 thousand rubles. Taking into account all other expenses, we can say that the amount of initial capital does not have too much value. In this regard, this entrepreneurial activity can be organized even by novice businessmen.
Good luck to anyone who wants to open a plant for the production of products of this type, and success in all endeavors!
