Pizza Box Folding Machine Choice
In the Chinese market, almost all of the manufacturers you can find produce mailer box folding machines, and rigid box forming machines.
Namely, if you want to purchase a pizza box folding machine, you must discuss the possibility of customizing it with these mailer box folding machine manufacturers.
After confirming that these manufacturers can customize the pizza box folding machine for you, you need to clarify your requirements from the following aspects, and then give feedback to the manufacturer for a price estimate.
Box Sizes
After you communicate all your box sizes to the manufacturer, they will recommend the most suitable model and try their best to ensure that all your boxes are foldable on one machine.
Lock Panel Qty.
For pizza boxes, usually, only the front panel needs to be locked;
For postal/mailer boxes, some boxes need to lock the left & right side panels, and some boxes need to lock the left & right side panels plus the front panel.
Because the lock panel qty. is different, the machine price will also be different.
Speed
In terms of speed, if your requirements for output are not high, we suggest you choose a moderate-speed machine, 700-1200 boxes per hour.
Such a machine has good stability, a long service life, and brings sustainable benefits.
If your output is high, and your budget is sufficient, you can buy an automatic pizza box folding machine with a higher configuration, further improving efficiency.
However, high-speed machines place a huge burden on power units, and their structure is more complex, with extremely high requirements for operators.
Therefore, you must hire high-level operators at a high price to avoid a failure rate increase.
Customized Components
Some customers will specify the brand of components (such as PLC, inverter, touch screen, air cylinder, etc.).
These requirements are satisfiable, but the price will be higher compared to standard ones.
In addition to the high price of branded components themselves, manufacturers have to rewrite software codes for different brands, which consumes more manpower and time.
Optional Hot Melt Glue Applicator
Some mailer/postal boxes need to spray hot melt glue to adhere to the side panels.
In this case, you need to choose a suitable hot melt glue applicator.
If you choose Robatech and Nordson hot melt adhesive applicators, they are expensive and have good effects;
The hot melt glue applicators of Chinese brands are relatively cheaper, and the effect is not as good as Robatech and Nordson.
