Client Background
The client is a key paper packaging supplier covering Liaoning and core industrial zones of Northeast China, as well as a regional backbone national high-tech enterprise in paper packaging. Its market influence spreads across Northeast China and partial North China regions. Main products include finished cartons, honeycomb paperboards, paper tubes and packaging printing.
Equipped with 5-layer high-speed corrugator lines and multi-color printers, the plant reaches daily output of 150,000 ㎡ corrugated board and 200,000–300,000 finished cartons to serve massive industrial and e-commerce packaging orders.
Growing downstream demand exposed bottlenecks in post-print folding & gluing processing. The client invested in a new inline production line, adopting the Kunshan Indeed IG-1224 full-servo down-folding folder gluer to pair with Dinglong 1224 flexo printer slotter for a full FFG line, to lift overall throughput and market competitiveness.
Existing Production Challenges
1. Post-press bottleneck restricts full line output: High-capacity corrugating and printing sections were often idle waiting for slow legacy folder gluers, so existing hardware could not deliver its full potential.
2. Poor cross-brand compatibility: Most conventional folder gluers require costly workshop reconstruction to connect with mainstream printer slotters such as Dinglong, leading to extra capital cost and production downtime.
3. High maintenance of shaft-driven machines: Traditional main-shaft designs need regular lubrication and complicated belt replacement, frequent jamming creates extra workload for maintenance technicians.
4. Unstable folding precision: Old machines deliver poor creasing and folding correction, excessive joint deviation generates rejected cartons and wastes raw board materials.
5. Limited stacking performance: Outdated stacking units create loud operation noise, slow counting & discharge, paper jam occurs under high running speed.
6. High energy consumption: Legacy machines consume large power during mass production, eroding manufacturing profit margins.
Solutions & Key Advantages of Kunshan Indeed IG-1224
After rigorous supplier evaluation, the client selected Kunshan Indeed 1224 down-folding folder gluer to build FFG inline production with Dinglong printing machines, empowered by 5 core technical strengths:
• Superb cross-brand compatibility: The machine fits mainstream printer slotters including Dinglong, connects new or legacy printing equipment seamlessly. Factories can construct inline workflow without heavy reconstruction, cutting upgrade cost and downtime greatly.
• Independent shaftless full servo structure: All folding beam belts run on separate servo motors. Belt replacement is quick, periodic lubrication is eliminated, jamming downtime is drastically reduced to save maintenance labor.
• Premium forming precision: Integrated creasing units, forming rollers and seam correction modules keep scissors gap within ±1mm; carton mouth tolerance is ±2–2.5mm for 3-ply board, ±2.5–3mm for 5-ply board to lower rejection rate.
• Advanced stacking section: Synchronous belt driven stacking arms ensure quiet operation and easy maintenance, maximum linear speed hits 350 m/min, achieving 30 counted bundle discharges per minute without paper piling.
• Low energy consumption: Rated total power is 50KW, actual operating power drops to 35KW (excluding waste removal units), delivering top-tier energy efficiency among peer full-servo folder gluers for long-term electricity savings.
Installation & Operational Outcomes
After commissioning, the 1224 folder gluer works stably with Dinglong printing equipment as a complete FFG inline line. Printed boards flow straight into the folder gluer for folding, gluing and stacking, fully resolving throughput mismatch between front and rear sections.
The factory unlocks full capacity of original corrugating and printing machines to accept larger bulk orders. Improved folding precision cuts material waste, low power use and minimal maintenance reduce recurring operating cost, further consolidating the client’s leading position in Northeast and North China packaging markets.
