Welcome to this article, which is an in-depth guide to flexo folder gluer, Before you buy a new flexo folder gluer, check out our guide that covers everything you should consider to find the best machine for you.

1. What is a flexo folder gluer?

In the packaging and printing industry, the application of flexo folder gluer is the last process of packaging box processing. It’s about folding printed and die-cut cardboard into a shape and gluing it. Machine gluing replaces manual gluing, reducing labor costs and improving efficiency. The parts of the laminating machine are divided into the paper feeding part, pre-folding part, hook bottom part, forming part, and box pressing part. According to the function, it can be divided into flat glue box glue machine, hook bottom box glue machine, etc. The general box glue machine does not have the groove bottom function or even the pre-folding function, and the better one has the pre-folding function. All come pre-folded. Of course, you have to use slot-bottom folder glue to make hook-bottom boxes. Box machines with better functions can also make hexagonal and heterosexual boxes, but they need to be equipped with glue spraying systems and other equipment.

2. What is the working principle of a flexo folder gluer?

The working principle of the flexo folder gluer is: after the power is turned on, the entire conveyor belt starts to move, and the die-cut semi-finished cartons are placed at the paper feeding position of the flexo folder gluer. The good paper feeder is sent to the middle section of the conveyor belt (if the semi-finished carton has been coated or glazed, after entering the middle section, the inner edge of the carton can be stuck with a glue gun at the same time), and the conveyor belt transports the carton to the back section. The box part is pressurized and packed.

3. What are the characteristics of a flexo folder gluer?

It has the following characteristics:

  • Adopt the sponge belt bottom paper feeding method, the elastic adjustable paper feeding knife cooperates with the vibrating motor, and the paper blank is separated smoothly and accurately. The clutch under photoelectric control controls the paper-feeding drive system to ensure that the paper blanks enter the glue section accurately and realize uninterrupted paper feeding.
  • The imported hot-melt adhesive system adopts photoelectric control, which can be adjusted according to the size of the paper blank and the position of gluing to meet the production requirements.
  • The working system of the forming department adopts the organic combination of the adjustable inner mold and outer mold controlled by photoelectricity and cylinder to complete the blank forming accurately and consistently. The inner and outer molds can also be adjusted according to the size of the paper embryo to meet the processing requirements of cartons of different sizes.
  • The conveying part is driven by an independent speed-regulating motor, which can be adjusted with the production speed of the main machine to ensure the orderly output of finished cartons.
  • The inverter is used to control the motor drive, the speed is balanced, and the power is saved.
  • Adopt advanced synchronous belt and synchronous wheel drive to ensure accuracy, stability, and low.

4. What is the application of flexo folder gluer?

In the packaging and printing industry, the flexo folder gluer is one of the important post-press processing equipment. At present, with the rapid development of my country’s packaging and printing industry, the application of flexo folder gluers is becoming more and more extensive. Food, medicine, health care products, cosmetics, wine, light industrial products, and other packaging boxes are basically glued.

5. How to maintain the flexo folder gluer?

Here are some suggestions:

  • The machine should be kept clean and cleaned frequently.
  • Wipe the mechanical belt with clean water to keep it clean and non-slip, especially to prevent sticking to the belt. Be sure to clean the rubber wheel and the glue box at the bottom of the hook every day after getting off work, otherwise, the glue in the glue box will freeze and affect the gluing effect.
  • The plastic box on the upper part of the folded edge should be kept clean and cleaned frequently.
  • It is strictly forbidden to adjust the speed when the speed regulation stops, otherwise the belt will be severely worn.
  • The brackets, shafts, and rods of the inner row boards should be cleaned frequently, and the oil and butter mixed together will have a better effect, and they can be shaken from side to side to prevent rust.
  • Before starting the machine, it is best to drive slowly and check whether the machine is abnormal.
