SiroSilo SiroSilo recently released its upgraded straight tuck end carton erector, replacing the previous all-button model without touchscreen control, integrating a safety cover, and adding a dedicated design to improve carton-forming success rate.
The American customer, Mr. Bob, will be the first to enjoy it.
With this small folding carton erector, it can erect the 1,000-2,000 boxes he needs every day in two to three hours (including size changeovers).
Let’s dive into more details!
Overview
Such an intermittent tuck end carton erector automatically shapes the straight tuck end box blank first, then folds its bottom dust flaps, and lastly closes its bottom closure panel, as shown in the photo below:
The video below clearly shows how it works.

Components
This small carton erector machine consists of the following components:
- Aluminum Profile Frame
- Box Blank Magazine
- Vacuum Suction Cup
- Vacuum Generator
- Carton Forming Station
- Pneumatic Components (Air Cylinder)
- Control Cabinet
- Touchscreen
- Stack Tower Light
- Leveling Feet
- Universal Wheel
Features
The following features of this small box erector deserve your focus.
- Compact structure, small footprint
- Simple & convenient touchscreen control
- Photoelectric eye detection ensures stable & smooth running
- Low power cuts electricity bills
- Safety cover protects the operator
- Easy shifting with universal wheels.
The formed box flipping function is optional.
In addition, when we tested Mr. Bob’s two size boxes of 64.6 x 64.6 x 63.5mm and 72.6 x 72.6 x 80mm, these boxes would lift during framing, causing the tuck flap insertion to fail.
Therefore, we added a pneumatically controlled top pressure plate to the carton framing device.
With this dedicated design, the tuck flap insertion effect gets much better.
