Cardboard folding machine MASTERFOLD series

electricautomaticmotorized

Tagline
Modular folder-gluer for carton and corrugated production, designed for high-speed, precise folding and gluing.

Key benefits

• Outstanding productivity and accuracy: Job and Recipe Management reduces changeover time and delivers accurate setup data; high automation lowers makeready time and improves setup precision and uptime.
• Operator safety and accessibility: Safety features compliant with EU 2027 rules; Matic setups, video monitoring, multiple control panels and an intuitive HMI simplify operation and reduce walking distances.
• Resource and quality control: New drive systems reduce energy consumption; BOBST Connect Energy Monitoring helps identify further savings; stable transport and precise folding-gluing reduce waste and rework.

Features (selected)

• ACCUFEED blank aligner: ensures blanks enter straight; feeds all material types; pneumatic locking on feeding ramps reduces feeder setup times; optional automated blank aligner combined with Job and Recipe Management further cuts setup time.
• Flexible folding modules: easy access for fast setups and direct control of folding; right, left or simultaneous folding; minimum folding device down to 140 mm; folding belt with motorized speed variator for quick adjustments and reduced waste.
• Security features: light curtains, sliding doors and movable safety curtain secure the machine while allowing operator access; interior door unblocking option; compliant with EU 2027 rules.
• Matic setup functions: automatic positioning of transport equipment and calibrating shaft per job data; HMI stores up to 5,000 job recipes and allows recipe transfer to the machine.
• Crash-lock module: fastest setup in its class; supports a wide variety of folding options including reinforced crash-lock bottom boxes; pre-breaks large boxes and supports additional devices; telescopic upper conveyors adjustable to box formats.
• ACCUEJECT XL: flipper-ejector to remove single faulty boxes; ejects non-standard boxes up to 35 mm thickness at full running speed to maintain quality and reduce waste.
• Completely modular: independent drives for each module allow downstream production to resume after an unexpected stop; modular design enables future upgrades and evolving production needs.
• Transfer and delivery: Matic positioning of transfer and delivery saves setup time; automatic belt tensioning and adjustable box stream height; infeed conveyor improves control and running speeds; rear stack corrector increases consistency and reduces waste.
• Quality and efficiency: operating speed 15–250 m/min; crease-relief device for smoother folding and easier box opening; long folding section (6,790 mm) for progressive precise folding; delivery box stream regulator for precise intervals and faster running.
• Accessible and practical: machine parts easily accessible; video monitoring at feeder for production overview; two rechargeable remote controls; command panels on front and back of every module reduce operator movement; slow-down function lowers speed to 5 m/min for changes without a full stop.
