Panyu Carton Factory Case | IG-1224 Full-Servo Folder Gluer
一、Customer Background
The customer is a representative enterprise in the paper and paper products industry in Panyu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. As one of the Top 50 Advanced Manufacturing Enterprises in Panyu District, its core business focuses on corrugated board and carton packaging production, with an annual board capacity of about 120,000 tons and a daily packaging product capacity of about 1 million pieces. It has a solid production capacity foundation and brand influence in the regional market, serving high-end customers such as Beidahuang Food Group. It is a backbone force in the local corrugated paper packaging segment.
As the order structure upgrades to multi-batch and high-specification directions, the original traditional folder gluer equipment has gradually exposed shortcomings in efficiency, precision and cost control. The enterprise urgently needs to break through bottlenecks through technical upgrades and maintain its regional leading position.
二、Core Pain Points
1. Efficiency Bottleneck: Limited Peak Season Capacity & Pressure on Urgent Order Delivery
The enterprise’s original traditional folder gluer equipment took a long time to debug when changing orders and had an unstable production rhythm. During peak seasons, production capacity was saturated but difficult to break through, prolonging order delivery cycles. It was unable to fully release regional production capacity advantages, restricting the upper limit of business acceptance.
2. Quality Pain Point: Unable to Meet Strict Standards of High-End Customers
Food customers such as Beidahuang have extremely high requirements for carton forming accuracy and bonding firmness. Traditional equipment is prone to problems such as misaligned flaps, glue leakage and poor bonding, resulting in high rework rates and high customer complaint risks, which not only affect brand reputation but also increase material waste.
3. Cost & Compliance Pressure: High Labor Dependence, Dual Rise in Environmental & Operational Costs
Traditional equipment has high energy consumption and excessive glue waste. Unstable manual operations lead to high reject rates and high labor cost ratios, which not only compress profit margins but also increase environmental compliance burdens, failing to match the needs of refined operations.
4. Insufficient Delivery Flexibility: Mismatched Capacity Between Peak & Off-Season, Low Resource Utilization
Orders have obvious seasonal fluctuations. During peak seasons, full-capacity equipment still cannot meet delivery requirements, while during off-seasons, equipment idle rates are high. There is a lack of equipment with flexible capacity adjustment capabilities, making it difficult to balance order fluctuations and capacity utilization.
三、Kunshan INDEED Customized Solution: Implementation of Full-Servo Downward Fold Folder Gluer IG-1224
To address the customer’s pain points, Kunshan INDEED matched them with a full-servo downward fold folder gluer solution and optimized compatibility with the enterprise’s existing printing production lines（T-ONE）. The core advantages and implementation effects are as follows:
1. High Compatibility Design for Seamless Integration of New & Existing Lines
Kunshan INDEED equipment is compatible with various mainstream printing press structures and can be connected to the customer’s existing T-ONE production line without large-scale modifications, avoiding production line downtime losses and significantly reducing upgrade costs and cycles.
2. Independent Full-Servo Structure for Efficient & Stable Production
The whole machine adopts a spindle-less design with independent drive for folding beam belts. Belt replacement is convenient, no lubrication maintenance is required, and jamming and shutdown are rare. Equipment failure rates are significantly reduced, and production continuity is greatly improved.
3. Excellent Forming Accuracy to Meet High-End Customer Quality Standards
The equipment is equipped with creasing, forming wheel and fold correction units. The shear difference is stably controlled within ±1mm, the mouth error of 3-ply board is controlled at ±2–2.5mm, and the error of 5-ply board is ±2.5–3mm. This effectively solves problems such as misaligned flaps and poor bonding, significantly reducing rework rates and fully meeting the strict quality requirements of food customers.
4. Advanced Delivery System to Greatly Improve Capacity & Efficiency
The timing belt-driven receiving arm design features low noise and easy maintenance. The maximum production speed of the equipment can reach 350 m/min, and the delivery section achieves the fastest cyclic counting and ejection of 30 packs per minute. With the customer’s existing production line configuration, efficiency has improved significantly, breaking through the peak season capacity bottleneck, shortening delivery cycles and significantly enhancing the ability to accept urgent orders.
5. Low Energy & Labor Design to Reduce Comprehensive Operating Costs
Full-servo control enables precise glue supply and energy consumption management, reducing glue waste and significantly lowering energy consumption. Increased automation reduces reliance on skilled workers, lowering labor costs and reject rates. Comprehensive operating costs are effectively controlled while meeting environmental compliance requirements.
四、Customer Achievements & Value Realization
By introducing kunshan INDEED’s full-servo downward fold folder gluer, the customer has achieved multiple breakthroughs:
• Capacity Release: Production efficiency during peak seasons has been greatly improved, delivery cycles have been shortened, more urgent and large-volume orders can be accepted, and the upper limit of business acceptance has been significantly increased.
