01.Choose vertical or horizontal devices depending on the product
The carton you choose will match your product. For example, if the product is free-flowing (granular objects such as washing powder or loose pieces such as cough syrup bottles), you should choose a vertical type of cartoner. For products that can be loaded vertically and horizontally, it is best to choose horizontal equipment. Most of the cartoners on the market are horizontally loaded, which are more flexible and less expensive than vertical cartoners.
02.To determine the highest packing speed
The first thing to confirm is whether the boxing work is done on the production line or offline. For online speed, divide the maximum production speed of the product by the number of product packages in each carton, and then consider the overload capacity (the possibility of increasing production speed through new processes or technologies). For offline speed, determine weekly or monthly shipping quotas to ensure that the actual number of days per day or hours per day is used to calculate how many cartons can be loaded per minute.
03.Material selection
Are you using raw cardboard (new fiber, more expensive) or recycled material (cheaper)? Poor quality materials will definitely affect the quality of the carton. You should also consider the carton cover and glue format design, if you use the stitching format then you can use less glue. When you put a bag into a carton, the air of that kind of material creates a material impact. You can add a pressure reducer to the bag making machine or add a bag gauge to the loading area of the cartoner to reduce this impact. Both methods are possible, but you have to prepare in advance, not the device. All have been delivered to the scene to solve this problem. You can test the cartoning effect of the cartoner with products and cartons that just fit the specifications, so you know how much air can fit in the bag.
04.Leverage the experience and knowledge of suppliers
Let your carton supplier join your project team. By organizing material experts and equipment experts together, you can benefit from it. Sometimes small changes in the carton design, materials, and coating can greatly improve the performance of the cartoner. Sometimes, if the equipment supplier can design the equipment specifically, you may be able to optimize your carton design and use thinner materials to save costs.
05.Choose the cartoning machine to match your technical ability
The cartoner should match your technical strength. If the technical strength is not enough, purchasing a complicated machine (such as those with many servos) can bring you more trouble. When selecting a supplier, you should conduct a background check on the supplier. You should consult with the company at the same level to determine if the equipment you want to purchase meets your specifications. Is it possible for you to make it? Make sure that your product and vendor's technology are matched, and that you know where the limitations of the device you purchased are.
06.Careful consideration of the rotary feeder
This problem is often overlooked. You can consider the rotary feeder for picking up the carton slab to see if this technology is compatible with the substrate you are using. If the cartoner cannot pick up the carton slab correctly, everything behind it is no good.
07.Is the tail loading or the side loading?
Tail loading is usually faster, and if your product is well controlled and can slide into the smaller end of the carton, then you are suitable for a tail-loading cartoner. If you need to load multiple items into the paper tray, the side loader is more suitable for you.
08.Replacement of parts
How do you make this conversion faster when you want to make another size package? Are your parts labeled and categorized by color? Are all the components used in one size the same color? Don't forget to color sort your parts. In addition, you have to think about how to store and place these components, let them be in place, and find them quickly when you find them.
09.Don't forget spare parts
Once the actual situation permits, you should ask the supplier to provide a list of Critical Spare Parts and a List of Recommended Spare Parts. Let these spare parts be delivered with the machine so that if something goes wrong during the machine's startup, you can fix it quickly. You need to check the two lists to see what parts you have and what you can buy from local suppliers.
10.To consider future needs
Will you use larger packaging or bundle packaging in the future? If the machine you choose can only produce two sizes, then you will need to buy a new machine in the future. Modifications are usually very expensive. Prepare for the future ahead of time, and choose flexible and promising cartoning machines to meet your future production needs.
