Introduction
Automated Box Erectors (or Case Erectors) are vital accessories for high-volume BIB lines, replacing manual labor in the box formation stage. The machine takes flat corrugated cardboard blanks, pulls them open, folds the bottom flaps, and seals the bottom with hot-melt glue or adhesive tape. Suzhou Jingle Packaging's erectors are synchronized to the filler speed, ensuring a continuous supply of ready-to-fill boxes, eliminating a major bottleneck in automated packaging.
These units are engineered for high reliability and efficient use of corrugated material.

FAQ
- Q: How long does it take to change the machine for a different box size?
- A: Quick-change models typically allow changeover in 10 to 20 minutes, involving adjusting guide rails, vacuum cup positions, and potentially the glue pattern.
- Q: Is hot-melt glue or tape sealing better?
- A: Glue offers a stronger, tamper-proof seal and is faster for high volume. Tape is simpler, less expensive initially, and often preferred when the outer box will be reused.
- Q: Can the erector handle very thin or weak cardboard?
- A: High-speed erectors require a minimum board caliper and quality to prevent jamming and ensure clean folding. Thin/weak board is better handled manually.
