Semi-auto vs full-auto folding gluing machine

The full-automatic folding gluing machine is applied to the packaging production line in large quantities, especially in the case of shortage of human resources during the epidemic. Automatic box folder-gluer machine has the advantages of high production capacity, high precision and high efficiency, but its investment cost is also high. Fortunately, there are semi-automatic box gluing machines on the market. Starting bosses can choose semi-automatic folding gluing machine to reduce investment risk.

ZHANTIAN machinery discuss about the advantages and disadvantages of semi-auto folder gluer and fully-auto folding gluing machine to offer useful ideas for your need of package machine.

Semi-auto folder gluer machine

Although it is called semi-auto, it has auto-feeding function. This type of machine works better than manual folder gluer. It’s the best choice if you have some funds and have request about its output.

Advantages

1. Wide application range

It is suitable for any material box, such as card box, corrugated box, PVC box, etc. For the types of boxes, it also has great inclusiveness. It can produce all kinds of boxes, such as single-sided box, hook bottom box, heterosexual box and so on.

2. Easy to set up

The structure of semi-automatic machine is relatively simple, so the installation will not be very complicated. Engineers with a little mechanical foundation can complete this action quickly and smoothly under the guidance of video.

3. Expansibility

According to the demand, it can be combined with many automatic functions. According to the required output, you can increase or decrease the station at will to control the labor cost. It is very convenient and fast to switch between boxes of different sizes.

4. Quality control

The machine glues automatically but box is folded by human. Thus,

the quality is controllable. The production manager can set up an assessment system to control the quality of finished products. By linking quality with wages, workers will attach great importance to the quality of finished products. In this way, the quality can be effectively guaranteed.

Disadvantages

1. Low productivity

The capacity of the semi-automatic folder gluer machine is determined according to the manual speed. For example, the production capacity of six stations per hour is about 10000-15000. In case of complex box type, the production capacity will be greatly reduced.

2. Insufficient accuracy

Because it is converted manually, the accuracy of the finished product completely depends on labor. If workers are more careful when converting, the accuracy of finished products will be higher, but the production capacity will be correspondingly reduced. On the contrary, the production capacity is improved, but the accuracy is insufficient.

3. High labor cost

In addition to the capital investment in purchasing equipment, semi-automatic equipment also requires a large amount of labor investment cost. In today’s era of lack of human resources, this is not a good choice. In the purchase selection, you can consider converting these labor costs into machine costs and purchasing a labor-saving automatic box folding gluing machine, which is the long-term plan.

Fully auto folder gluer machine

Automatic box pasting machine is a favorite in the packaging industry. With the development of economy, people’s living standards are becoming more and more perfect, and more people will tend to full-automatic equipment with high production capacity. Everything has two sides, and mechanical equipment is no exception.

Advantages

1. Labor and energy saving

The full-automatic folder gluer only needs 2-3 people to work normally. To achieve the same output, the semi-automatic box gluing machine needs 8-10 people. Fully automatic equipment can complete the same work in a shorter time. Thus, it’s energy saving.

2. Low consumption

The worker takes a brush, dips in an appropriate amount of glue and brushes it onto the glue line. Each time the glue is applied, the width, length and thickness of the glue are different. The automatic box pasting machine is automatic gluing, and the glue amount is the same and uniform every time. To a certain extent, the amount of glue is saved.

3. High accuracy

The automatic box pasting machine completes the folding action with high accuracy through auxiliary accessories such as belt and pressing wheel. Unlike semi-automatic, which requires manual folding, there are a large number of trumpets.

Disadvantages

1. Large investment

The price of automatic folder gluer machine starts at $6000, and the price of large high-end machine remain at $80000. This is a considerable expenditure.

2. Complex operation

The spare parts of each part of the machine need to be adjusted according to different boxes. Operating the automatic box pasting machine is like driving a car. Engineers need professional training to operate. It takes a lot of time and energy to study and train in the early stage.

3. Large land occupation

Auto folder gluer machine needs a large site. For small factories, this is a hard problem.

Conclusion

     If you are a small factory, semi-automatic folder gluer machine is your best choice. If you are a large and medium-sized factory and plan to develop in the field of printing and packaging for a long time, the full-automatic box folding gluing machine is the best choice. It can create higher value for you and help your career develop gradually.

In terms of production capacity, the full-automatic box folder gluer machine is suitable for factories with high efficiency and high demand. The machine can run continuously day and night. The full-automatic box folding gluing machine with a running speed of 300 meters per minute can produce 80000 toothpaste boxes in one hour. It greatly meets the needs of the market.

Whether you buy a full-automatic or semi-automatic box folder gluer machine, please ensure that you buy it from a regular manufacturer, which can provide long-term equipment maintenance and after-sales guarantee.
