SiroSilo
SiroSilo recently released its upgraded straight tuck end carton erector, replacing the previous all-button with touchscreen control, integrating a safety cover, and adding a dedicated design that improves the carton forming success rate.
American customer Mr. Bob will be the first to enjoy it.
With this small box folding machine, he can form the 1,000-2,000 boxes he needs every day in two to three hours (including size changeovers).
Let’s go for more details!
Intermittent Tuck End Carton Erector
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:
Please digest how it works more clearly in the following video.

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.
And formed box flip 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.
