Food Container Box Making Machine

The ZX-1200 Carton Erecting Machine features a fully integrated, automated system built around its standard units: feeding, conveying, gluing, forming, product collection, and counting. To maximize its versatility and output for specific operational needs, users can integrate three powerful optional modules.

1. 2/4 Guns Automatic Cold/ Hot Melt Glue Sprayer

The machine can be equipped with either a 2-gun or 4-gun adhesive application system, offering a choice between cold glue or hot melt adhesive. The cold glue option is a cost-effective solution for standard paperboard bonding. In contrast, the hot melt system provides instant tack strength, dramatically accelerating set times and overall production line pace. The multi-gun configurations are ideal for complex carton designs, ensuring precise and simultaneous glue application at multiple bonding points.

2. Plasma
The optional plasma treatment system significantly upgrades bonding performance. It activates and cleans surfaces by bombarding them with electricity. This process is crucial for preparing coated, laminated, or specialty-printed surfaces, dramatically improving glue penetration and adhesion. It effectively eliminates bonding failures and ensures consistent, high-quality seals on challenging materials.

3.Tape Insert Machine

Opting for the tape insert machine module introduces a highly efficient, automated step to the forming process. This equipment enables the precise, automated insertion of paper tape directly into cartons at a designated stage of erection. This inline functionality consolidates two separate steps into one continuous workflow, eliminating a standalone manual or machine operation and boosting overall line efficiency and integration.

By incorporating these options, the ZX-1200 Carton Erecting Machine transforms from a standard former into a highly adaptable production cell, capable of meeting demands ranging from everyday cartons to sophisticated premium packaging.

Carton erecting machine is specially designed for fast-food packaging, such as burger boxes, freis boxes,  boat trays,and triangular pizza boxes. This article takes the ZX-1200 carton erecting machine as an example to introduce its main technical parameters.

The equipment offers strong adaptability to paper materials, handling paper weights ranging from 180g to 400g and thicknesses from 0.3mm to 1.5mm. It supports a wide processing size range, with a minimum of 120 × 120mm and a maximum of 600 × 500mm, meeting the production needs of various carton specifications. The machine operates efficiently, with an adjustable production speed of 30–160 pieces per minute.

In terms of power and energy consumption, the required working air pressure is 0.5 MPa. It runs on a 380 V three-phase industrial power supply, with a rated current of 12 A and a total power of 2.5 kW. The power frequency is compatible with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz. The machine features a sturdy structure, weighing approximately 1,400 kg, with overall dimensions of 3,500 × 1,350 × 1,500 mm.All key motion axes of this equipment are equipped with a drive system consisting of fully servo motors and matching drives produced by Schneider Electric.

The core advantages of the machine include:  

Strong versatility—it accurately adapts to multiple fast-food box types with quick and easy mold changeover.  

High efficiency and stability—even at high speeds, it ensures precise forming and strong adhesion.  

User-friendly operation—with a high degree of automation, it significantly reduces labor dependency and production costs, making it an ideal solution for enhancing the efficiency of fast-food packaging lines.
