Customer Background
The customer is a leading medium-sized paper and plastic packaging enterprise in Xinxiang, Henan Province. Leveraging nearly 30 years of industry experience from its parent company, it focuses on mid-to-high-end corrugated board and carton production, serving well-known domestic brands such as Red Bull, Budweiser, Shuanghui, Sanquan, Synear, Gree, and Liby, covering high-demand fields including food, e-commerce, and daily chemicals.
As the order structure of key customers becomes increasingly complex with frequent changes in batch sizes and specifications, traditional folder gluer equipment has gradually exposed shortcomings in efficiency, precision, cost, and delivery, becoming a key bottleneck restricting the enterprise’s further development.
Core Challenges
1. Insufficient Flexible Production Capacity: Traditional equipment requires cumbersome and time-consuming order changeovers, making it unable to quickly respond to multi-specification, short-lead-time orders, affecting production rhythm and delivery efficiency.
2. High Pressure on Quality Stability: Customers like Red Bull and Budweiser have strict requirements for carton forming accuracy and bonding firmness. Traditional equipment struggles to stably control errors, leading to high rework and reject rates with customer complaint risks.
3. Rising Cost and Compliance Pressures: Production is highly dependent on skilled workers, resulting in a high proportion of labor costs. At the same time, high energy consumption and large waste generation conflict with China’s “dual carbon” policy orientation and environmental protection requirements.
4. Obvious Peak Season Delivery Bottlenecks: During peak order seasons, production capacity is saturated, making it difficult to balance short-lead-time orders with customers’ inventory plans, prolonging delivery cycles and affecting customer satisfaction.
5. Growing Anxiety Over Technological Iteration: Peer enterprises are accelerating the introduction of intelligent folder gluer equipment. Without timely upgrades, the company faces risks of widening technical gaps and declining competitiveness.
Kunshan Indeed Customized Solution: IG-1224 Full-Servo High-Speed Downward Fold Folder Gluer
To address the customer’s pain points, we have tailored an automated folder gluer solution centered on the IG-1224 Full-Servo High-Speed Downward Fold Folder Gluer, comprehensively solving customer problems through technological advantages:
1. Superior Line Compatibility for Seamless Integration of New & Existing Equipment
Familiar with the structure, operation, and stability of various printing presses, Kunshan Indeed equipment can perfectly connect to the customer’s existing DongFang corrugated line, and other equipment without large-scale modifications. This signifcantly reduces upgrade costs and downtime risks, enabling efficient linkage between front and back-end processes.
2. Independent Full-Servo Structure for High Efficiency and Low Failure Rates
The machine adopts a spindle-less independent full-servo 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, supporting long-term continuous and stable production to ensure production continuity.
3. Excellent Forming Accuracy to Consistently Meet High-End Customer Standards
Equipped with an integrated creasing, forming wheel, and fold correction unit, the equipment stably controls shear difference within ±1mm, mouth error of 3-ply board at ±2–2.5mm, and error of 5-ply board at ±2.5–3mm. This effectively solves problems such as misaligned flaps, uneven mouth sizes, and poor bonding, greatly reducing rework rates and fully meeting the strict quality requirements of key customers.
4. Advanced Delivery System to Significantly Improve Production Capacity & Delivery Efficiency
The timing belt-driven receiving arm design features low noise and easy maintenance. The equipment can reach a maximum production speed of 350 m/min, with the delivery section achieving the fastest cyclic counting and ejection of 30 packs per minute. This effectively breaks through peak season capacity bottlenecks, shortens delivery cycles, and significantly enhances the ability to accept urgent orders.
5. Industry-Leading Low Energy Consumption Design, Balancing Cost and Environmental Compliance
The total power of the whole machine is only 50KW, with operating power as low as 35KW (excluding the scrap collector), delivering the best energy consumption performance among full-servo models. This significantly reduces electricity costs while lowering energy consumption and carbon emissions, helping enterprises meet environmental protection policy requirements and achieve green and efficient production.
Project Implementation & Results
After the commissioning of the IG-1224, the customer has achieved significant breakthroughs in multiple key dimensions:
• Upgraded Flexible Production: Order changeover time has been greatly shortened, allowing the equipment to quickly adapt to multi-specification orders. Flexible production capacity has been significantly improved, enabling efficient response to diverse customer needs.
• Enhanced Quality Stability: Carton forming accuracy and bonding firmness consistently meet standards, with rework and reject rates dropping sharply. Customer complaint risks from high-end clients have been completely eliminated, further consolidating the brand reputation.
• Optimized Cost Structure: Higher automation reduces reliance on skilled workers, lowering the proportion of labor costs. The low energy consumption design reduces electricity costs, and lower waste rates reduce material waste, effectively controlling comprehensive operating costs.
• Breakthrough in Delivery Capacity: Peak season capacity bottlenecks have been removed. Stable high-speed operation ensures on-time order delivery, successfully balancing short-lead-time orders with customers’ inventory plans, significantly improving customer satisfaction.
• Strengthened Technological Competitiveness: The folder gluer process has achieved intelligent upgrades, eliminating technical gaps with peers and further consolidating the enterprise’s leading position in the regional market.
