Which factors should be considered before buying a corrugating machine?
The procurement of corrugated machine production line is generally divided into three types: whole line procurement, self selection procurement and upgrading procurement of original equipment
Paperboard factories that buy the whole production line often have relatively stable sales and customers.
Most paperboard factories consider optional procurement at most. They want to invest a small amount of money to get corrugated lines with good quality, good price and good performance. Therefore, the corrugated production line supplier will configure each part according to the demand to reduce the risk of investing in a new factory.
Manufacturers who upgrade and purchase original equipment are generally reluctant to buy new corrugated production lines. They usually have the following schemes: 1. Buy 2 - 3 splicing machines to improve the average speed and production efficiency; 2. It can transform the steam pipeline, quickly supplement heat and reduce energy consumption. 3. It can buy glue making equipment to improve the adhesion of paperboard. This procurement method has little impact on production, less capital investment and low benefits in the short term.
Corrugating machine procurement is a project with long service life and large investment. When purchasing Corrugated Carton Machine, paperboard factories should give priority to a supplier with integrity, timely after-sales service, reliable equipment performance, reasonable equipment price and good reputation. In addition to listening to the introduction of suppliers, you can also consult buyers who have already purchased. Generally speaking, the paperboard factory must make a comprehensive investigation before deciding to buy.
Before making a decision. It can investigate the product specifications and main flutes of surrounding potential customers, and understand the equipment status, management status and customer status of surrounding products.There are five main factors to consider Corrugated Cardboard Cutting Machine when purchasing corrugator line: 1).The width of Corrugator 2).Maximum operating speed 3). The product direction 4). The investment scale 5).development space
1.The Width of Corrugator
Cardboard factory running corrugated cardboard carton packing production line with the door width of 1800mm and below, the biggest advantage is that the base paper is easy to purchase, the second is the speed and corrugated carton production process is relatively easy to master.The price of all door width corrugator line is also relatively cheap, the price of standard configuration is about $850,000, it is suitable for all-scale development of cardboard factory, as well as food packaging as the leading products of cardboard factory.
Small door width corrugated cardboard carton box making line also has production and operation limitations.For example, the home appliance kind of carton generally required cardboard door width are wide.More than 1800mm door width of cardboard, all door width corrugator line can not be produced.Therefore, if the cardboard factory has the order of home appliance Corrugated Box Machine, it needs to consider the purchase of 2000mm-2200mm door width corrugator line.
The door width of 2000 mm-2200 mm is the most conventional corrugator door width, the base paper of this door width is also relatively easy to purchase, the operation process is also relatively easy to master. 2000 mm-2200 mm door width corrugator is the most mainstream one, it is suitable for the production of most cardboard production enterprises, the price of its standard configuration is between $110,000 to $1,400,000.

NOTE: PRICE FOR REFERENCE ONLY.
EXACT PRICE DEPENDS ON THE MACHINE BRAND AND MACHINE CONFIGURATION.
When cardboard factory develop to a certain stage, the size of the enterprise expanded, and orders like large furniture, home appliances refrigerator are very much needed, this kind of carton requires larger door width, in this case it is necessary to consider the configuration of 2500mm door corrugator2500mm and above corrugator line is suitable for large-scale operation of the cardboard factory, It will be more convenient and easier to implement if enough space is reserved for the future equipment transformation of the Cardboard factory.the current standard configuration price of more than $1,700,000
At present, the development of wide, high-speed, automatic corrugator line, improve the operating rates are the corrugated board industry trend.The corrugator line is developing towards a wide width. On the one hand, the width of the paper machine is getting wider and wider. The paper mills are already running 6m wide paper machines or even 10m wide paper machines.On the other hand, the advantages of corugator line in the broad width are lowering trimming loss, increasing production.When purchasing corrugator, considering the factor of the door width, cardboard factory should purchase corrugator with wider door width in the case of adequate budget and superb equipment operation level.
