Large Box Case Erector

SiroSilo Industrial 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.

The pressure sensitive tape applicator sticks bopp tapes of different widths such as 72mm, 60mm, 48mm, and 45mm to the outer flaps (major flaps) of corrugated boxes, completing the bottom sealing.

Water Activated Tape

Water activated tape case erectors are extremely rare in the Chinese market.

Currently, its speed is only 2-4 CPM, which is a stumbling stone or brake that prevents many customers from making a purchase decision.

Hot Melt Glue

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

  • Environmental Friendly

As a kind of non-toxic and odorless chemical product, hot melt glue is environmentally friendly and has been widely used 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, just by pairing it with multiple box blank magazines.

This attractive feature has won the favor of many customers.
