Such a small box erector converts box blanks into fully erected bottom-sealed snap lock bottom boxes, leaving the box top open outwards, which is convenient for following manual product loading, thereby saving the laborious & repetitive work of manual box folding & forming.

1-2-3-bottom-box-erector-1

It has 2 types for your choice:

  • Continuous Motion (40-60 CPM)
  • Intermittent Motion (10-20 CPM)

Continuous Motion (40-60 CPM)

Continuous motion 123 bottom box erector machines work 40-60 cartons per minute.

As shown in the video below, each formed box is followed by several other boxes.

A vacuum cup sucks a 1-2-3 bottom box blank from the magazine;

continuous-123-bottom-box-erector-workflow-0

Secondly, the vacuum cup places the squared box on the lug chain conveyor, the lug chain conveyor carries the 1-2-3 bottom box forward;

continuous-123-bottom-box-erector-workflow-3

Thirdly, a tucker folds the bottom female closure panel;

continuous-123-bottom-box-erector-workflow-4

Fourthly, two folders fold the bottom dust flaps of the 1-2-3 bottom box;

continuous-123-bottom-box-erector-workflow-5

Fifthly, one holder holds the bottom dust flaps & female closure panel, the other holds the bottom male closure panel, then a tucker inserts the bottom male closure panel into the female closure panel.

Processes

Let’s dive deep into its running processes.

intermittent-motion-123-bottom-box-erector-schematic-0

  • Box Blank Grabbing & Conveying

Two vacuum suction cups suck a box blank from the blank magazine and then convey the blank to the carton erecting unit.

1-2-3-bottom-box-erector-6

  • Carton Erecting

A photoelectric eye detects the coming box blank and sends a signal to the PLC.

photoelectric-eye-indicator

Then, the PLC sends a command to the other two vacuum suction cups to absorb the box blank, generating a reverse pulling force.

Two reverse pulling forces erect the box blank into a square shape.

  • Bottom Interlocking

Now it’s the bottom locking unit’s turn.

1-2-3-bottom-box-erector-10

It folds the female bottom closure panel first, then folds the two dust flaps, and finally tucks the male bottom closure panel into the female bottom closure panel.

  • Closed Box Blowing Out

Compressed air blows the closed box out, and the closed boxes with open tops drop into the pre-placed collection container.

Achieving such a speed requires 3 skilled box-folding workers.

Even with electricity & depreciation fees, purchasing such an erector is much more cost-effective than manual box folding.

Price

The snap lock bottom carton erector machine price depends on three factors:

  • Box Material & Size
  • Replacement of Brand-name Components
  • Customized Functions

We hope you can tell us these three factors in advance by email or WhatsApp, so we can digest your requirements and quote a reasonable price.

Suppliers

Search keywords such as 1-2-3 bottom box former or 1 2 3 bottom box erector in Google Adwords, and their monthly search volume is 0-10 globally.

Such a search volume can partially reflect that few potential customers are searching for 1 2 3 bottom box forming machines.

1-2-3-bottom-box-former-search-volume

Because of this, there are few suppliers of such small case erectors.

Well-known case erector manufacturers in America, Combi, Lantech, Loveshaw, Pearson, Wexxar, etc., all specialize in corrugated box erectors but do not provide folding carton erectors.

We, SiroSilo, are one of the few suppliers of little carton erectors that can be found on Google.

American customer Mr. Bob inquired about a small skin care box folding machine in September 2023.

inquiry-of-mr.-bob

His speed requirement is 10 CPM per minute, and his daily output is 1000-2000.

We suggest he purchase this intermittent type one (20 CPM), which has good performance, costs less, consumes less power, and is easier to maintain.

Large Box Case Erector

SiroSilo not only supplies folding carton erectors, but also sells corrugated cardboard box erectors, including case erector tape, case erector glue, and box folding robots.

BOPP Adhesive Tape

Corrugated carton erectors with bopp tape bottom seals are the most common in the Chinese market, with numerous suppliers.

Hot Melt Glue

Hot melt adhesive sealing is becoming more popular because it has the following features.

  • Environmental Friendly

Hot melt glue is environmentally friendly and has been widespread abroad.

As China increases its environmental protection efforts, hot melt adhesive sealing has become increasingly popular.

  • Firm

Daily beer cartons are sealed with hot melt adhesive.

If you introduce tape to seal, the effect will be much worse.

  • Anti-theft

Tape is easy to peel off and reseal from the outside, but hot melt glue is not.

Tearing off the hot melt adhesive seal will destroy the entire carton and is unrecoverable.

Robot

The speed of the box folding robot is also slow, 4-8 CMP.

But it can erect cartons of different sizes in each run.

This attractive feature has won the favor of many customers.
