Manual gluing machine YG-2600

rollerhot-melt glueautomatic

Product Overview
A folder gluer machine is automated post-press equipment used in the packaging industry to fold, glue and press die-cut paperboard into finished boxes. It handles formats from standard straight-line boxes to complex 4/6-corner designs and replaces manual and semi-automatic gluing processes. Selecting the appropriate model improves throughput and ensures folding precision for long production runs.

How It Works
The equipment automatically feeds die-cut blanks, performs pre-folding, applies adhesive via cold glue spray, hot melt or lower-glue systems, completes folding sequences and conveys finished boxes at high speed while maintaining alignment and seam integrity.

Main Industry Applications

• Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Packaging: High-precision finishing with pre-fold and cold glue spray systems for clean seams and tight tolerances.
• Food and E-commerce Boxes: Production of crash-lock bottom and auto-lock boxes requiring high operational stability and repeatability.
• Heavy Industrial Packaging: Handling multi-ply corrugated boxes (3-ply, 5-ply E/B/A corrugated) using heavy-duty folder gluer variants with alignment modules.

Key Parameters to Check When Buying

• Paper Compatibility and Running Speed: Ability to process paperboard 200–800 g/m² and corrugated flute types A/B/C/E/F. Typical maximum liner speeds: 220–280 m/min (model-dependent).
• Folding and Gluing Systems: Availability of cold glue spray systems, hot-melt units and lower-glue buckets. Multi-nozzle glue systems for complex 4/6-corner box designs improve glue distribution and reduce rework.
• Core Component Quality: Use of reputable inverters, PLCs, precision bearings and industrial-grade electrical components reduces downtime and maintenance costs.

Case Study (Summary)

• Client profile: Mid-sized packaging plant producing agricultural and wine boxes.
• Challenge: Old equipment lacked alignment modules, causing fish-tailing on 5-ply corrugated and an 18% waste rate.
• Solution: Deployment of an automatic corrugated folder gluer (model cited: YG-2600) equipped with dual-side alignment modules and a plasma surface treatment system to improve glue adhesion on laminated surfaces.
• Result: Alignment accuracy improved, fish-tailing waste reduced below 1.5%, output increased ~45%, and equipment payback achieved within months.

Notes and Practical Considerations

• For varnished or BOPP-laminated boxes, a plasma surface treatment or similar adhesion enhancer is recommended to improve glue performance and prevent seam popping.
• Alignment modules, adjustable feeder pressure rollers and proper belt tensioning are critical to avoid fish-tailing and ensure consistent box geometry.
