It’s better to get all preparation before the machine is delivered into the factory or workshop. ZHANTIAN machinery, a professional factory of folding gluing machines, proposes 3 useful pieces of advice about how to installation the machine.

1. Sufficient preparation

1.1 Place

The length of box folder gluer machine is very long. Usually it’s at least 6 meters. Some are more than 10 meters. It requires a big workshop. The width is not much. It’s supposed to be within 1.5 meters. However, it needs some room for person go through to maintain and install. Thus, keep it at 2-2.5 meters. The small factory or factories that are newer in this range, it’s better to invest in small folder gluer machines to make the risk under its hand. Smaller machine needs not big place, which can reduce financial pressure. The rent is very high in many countries. An inch of land is worth an inch of gold.

The floor of the workshop place must be flat. In other words, it can’t be too waving. ZHANTIAN machinery factory can solve this problem if the ground is not very flat. The machine has balance adjusting blocks. To a certain extent, it can alleviate the problem of machine imbalance caused by uneven ground.

1.2 Industrial handling trucks

Forklift is essential in the loading and unloading process of folder gluer machine. It discharges cargo from the truck when it arrives at the destination factory. It usually has 2-3 packages. The weight of one carton is above 0.8 ton. It can’t be moved by human strength. Therefore, forklift is necessary.

Lifting machine is an indispensable and important means of transportation if the workshop is not at the ground and there is no big lift. Crane plays an important role in this situation. It must get preparation earlier. It’s not advisable to keep machine outdoors. It gets rusty if it’s raining.

It needs hydraulic forklift to move the machine to correct position if the forklift truck cannot go into the place. Manual forklift goes upstairs by elevator or by crane through the window.

Conclusion, it only needs forklift if the place is on the ground. Lifting machine and hydraulic forklift are necessary if the workshop at the upstairs.

1.3 Electricity and air

If necessary, the electrician should be there because there is no plug in the wire of the machine. It’s safer to connect the electricity under professional electrician operation. Usually, the machine is 3P 380V 60HZ. It also can be according with buyer’s request, such as 3P 220V or 1P 120V.

Folder gluer machine uses the air to complete ticker function. The air needs to be ready before. Otherwise, this function cannot be used. Some models need air to adjust the folding bars.

A good technician is the key man of operating the machine. It’s similar to a driver. The performance of a car depends on itself and its driver. The same procedure may be easily adapted to obtain machine behavior is not only replying on itself but also the operator skill.

ZHANTIAN machinery offers overseas technician to help factories to set up the machine smoothly and to reduce time delays. Online-guidance is also available if box manufacturers have a technician who has a certain technical foundation standing by.

There is another way to train technicians. That’s to arrange technician to our factory before the machine is shipped. We’re very glad to help customers to train its technician. Usually it needs 2-4 people to work with folder gluer. One is the technician. One stands at the feeding part to feed the paper. The others are responsible for the output. They sit at the end of folder gluer machine to collect the boxes and pack them into corrugated outer boxes. To save worker salary, some factories hire 2 people. One is the technician, also is the one who feeds the paper. The other one stands at the end to sort the boxes out.

It’s important to ask for lifelong time technical service from the machine supplier. Technician maybe doesn’t know how to run the machine with new structure boxes. Machine manufacturers always run at the first line of this field. They have ideas about how to solve problem with new products. After sales service is also very important, especially consumable spare parts supplication.
